What an exciting month at our campus, as we see God’s hand at work! Our facility is getting a fresh makeover with new paint and upgrades, creating a vibrant space for our students to grow closer to the Lord. The gym remodel is nearly complete, offering a renewed spot for workouts, while updated offices welcome new staff and our property is being prepped for expansion. We’re exploring plans to renovate the back house to boost our capacity, and we’d love your involvement! Contact Kyle Thompson to learn more or to lend a hand. A huge thank you to our dedicated mentors, volunteers and churches! Your support blesses us beyond measure. We’re thrilled for what God has in store! |

What a blast taking the campus to Cultus Lake for a day of fun and a heartfelt worship service with a powerful message right by the water’s edge.
The guys in the program had some delicious food and kicked back in relaxation mode. That evening, we headed over to Sisters Community Church for a great benefit concert. It was a joyful day, with our students enjoying clean, sober fun while shining bright for Jesus! |

We are excited that Amber Williams has joined the team as the full-time Development Coordinator. Amber will be helping with events and community relationships to further the impact of Central Oregon Adult & Teen Challenge. “I came to Adult & Teen Challenge because I am passionate about the ministry specifically. My husband is a long-time graduate of the program. He is a living miracle because of what God has done through Adult & Teen Challenge and I am forever grateful and now get to help see more men set free through this ministry!
What are we here for? Luke 19:10 says, 'For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.'" |

Our student sponsorship program is the most practical way to come alongside our students and show support. You can receive updates on the student you sponsor, pray for them, give towards their program, and join them at their graduation. Prayerfully consider sponsoring a student. |

A 450 lb commercial ice maker would help the men in our program stay cool during summer.
We are raising $10,000 to send our campus to Spiritual Emphasis.
Our campus often relies heavily on basic toiletries and household supplies—like toilet paper, deodorant, body wash, toothbrushes, laundry detergent, and tin foil—are everyday essentials on our campus. While these items may seem small, they’re crucial for maintaining a sense of dignity and stability. Unfortunately, the cost of restocking them can quickly add up, creating a common challenge for many of our students and staff. |
