God is concerned with the condition of our hearts, and the hearts of many have poured into our campus of men who are finding the unending mercy and grace of Jesus. The work God is doing in the lives of our men and in the community, is a powerful testimony to His goodness. New life is blooming here, in hearts, in community and in purpose -- all through Him. |

On behalf of everyone at Adult & Teen Challenge Spokane, we thank our amazing friends for making our Swing For Hope golf tournament such a huge success! With 104 golfers joining us on the course, this year’s event was our most fruitful yet, and we were able to meet our fundraising goal and leave our hearts full of gratitude.
Your generous participation helps us continue Putting Hope Within Reach for men battling life-controlling issues, and we’re truly grateful for your support. Thank you again for swinging for hope with us, as we couldn’t do this without the Holy Spirit moving on all of the hearts of you! |

“For years, I lived with the appearance of potential, but underneath was a life fractured by addiction, lust, and pride. Raised in a Christian home with loving parents, I knew truth early on but slowly gave myself over to a life of sin and performance. By the time my son was born in 2023, my heart was hollowed by failure — substance abuse, infidelity, emotional abuse and shame ruled my relationships. I walked away from Teen Challenge multiple times, grasping at control while secretly breaking apart. After a DUI, a DV protection order and total relational collapse, I found myself staring at the wreckage of my life with nothing left but a whisper of faith.
That whisper became a cry. On Christmas Eve 2024, I came back to Spokane Men’s Center a third time with no façade left. Over the last six months, God has been doing deep, invasive surgery on my soul. I’ve learned that true repentance isn’t just confession — it’s death to self and daily dependence on Christ. Through this restoration journey, I’ve found healing, honesty and hope for my future as a father, a follower of Jesus and a man finally being shaped by the Spirit instead of shame. I’m grateful beyond words for the men and leadership here who have spoken life into what once seemed unredeemable.
Now, I’m stepping forward as an intern — not because I’ve arrived, but because I know where the road leads if I don’t walk in the light. I believe in the mission of Adult & Challenge because I’ve lived the miracle of it. I want to serve men who are stuck where I’ve been and offer them what was freely given to me: Truth, grace and a way home. This internship is my next step in becoming the man God’s called me to be — a father who shows up, a leader who serves and a disciple who doesn’t quit.”

Street Outreach with Turning Point |
| |
Once a month, our men's campus hits the streets at Second & Division, where we serve the community, providing food, clothing, and most importantly, prayer. This is delicate and important time spent pouring into people who are currently struggling and actively in the grip of addiction, where they need Christ the most. |
In June, we partnered with Turning Point Open Bible Church, who brought a team that helped with reaching the people, providing services and love right in the heart of the community. They smoked cinnamon rolls and ribs and served over 200 guests. God is moving in Spokane, and we’re honored to be a part of it. |

With the generous support of Black Diamond Asphalt, Lydig Construction, Accurate Striping, the city of Airway Heights and our amazing and generous family of sponsors and donors , our basketball and pickleball court is almost completely finished!
The ground is leveled and paved, the poles are cemented into the earth, the boards and hoops are up,and the court is striped. Our men have already been enjoying some games and even praying in the middle of the court. Thank you, without our extended family and support, this would not be possible! |
