Friends and Ministry Partners,
As we reflect on the month of July, we are filled with gratitude for the ways God continues to move in and through our campus. From outdoor adventures to meaningful community engagement, this month has been rich with growth, healing, and hope! |

|
We were honored to participate in our local Fourth of July Parade this year with a festive float representing our ministry! It was an incredible time of community connection, spreading joy, waving flags and reminding our neighbors that freedom—both personal and spiritual—is possible. Our students took pride in helping build and ride on the float, sharing smiles and celebrating the hope they’ve found in Christ!

|
We also took an incredible camping and fishing trip that brought joy, bonding and a whole lot of salmon! Our students and interns enjoyed the beauty of God’s creation, time away from distractions, the reward of full coolers and even fuller hearts. These moments remind us of the healing that happens not only in classrooms and chapels, but around campfires and riverbanks. |
|
|
We are thrilled to report that our beds are completely full! With 19 students and six interns, we are actively helping 25 men walk toward freedom and purpose every single day. This is a testament to the continued need for hope and the faithful support of people like you who make it possible. |

Preparing For Alaska Spiritual Emphasis |
|
|
We are eagerly preparing for our Alaska Spiritual Emphasis, happening this weekend as you read this! (July 31 - August 2)
This special time begins with a Completion Ceremony honoring five students who have finished the program. Please be in prayer for these men and women as they step into their next season, and for all who will be ministered to during this time of teaching, worship and deep spiritual impact. |
|
|
Mark your calendars! Our annual Night of Hope Gala is set for Thursday, October 17, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you. This is our biggest fundraising event of the year and an amazing opportunity to hear powerful testimonies, enjoy a great evening, and partner with the ongoing work of transformation. |

I had thoroughly messed up my life and before coming to Teen Challenge, spent the last two years homeless, wandering and in the deepest addiction I never thought was possible.
Now, almost three years later, God has used Teen Challenge to get me back to living for Him. He has restored me to my children and most of the relationships I had done a great job of trying to destroy.
Now I get to give back and serve the next guys that come in and have made a mess of their lives. I get to show them what hope and faith look like. I'm surrounded by accountability, wise counsel and people that show God's love to the best of their ability, speaking life into me and my children. God is good & the best is yet to come!

Thank you for standing with us in prayer, generosity and belief in the power of transformation. Every story of healing and every life restored is because of the faithfulness of God and partners like you. With gratitude,
