Teen Challenge

This morning we had a real treat in church! The choir from Teen Challenge, Canada visited us to give a presentation. :o)

Teen Challenge is a rehabilitation program for individuals that suffer from alcohol or drug addiction. The neat thing about their program, though, is that it has a 70% cure rate, as compared to secular rehab programs (who only have about a 5% cure rate). And, it's not just for "teens" ... several of the speakers this morning were in their 30s to 50s! Anyone who needs help from addictions can find it with Teen Challenge.

Several of the men shared their testimonies of how God has freed them from their addictions, and the choir sang some rousing songs! The music was loud and upbeat -- not something usually found in a Baptist church, I'd imagine! LOL :-D But, I absolutely loved it! The drummer was fantastic, and the guys sang well. :o)

People can sponsor these men on their road to recovery. Just visit one of the Teen Challenge websites (US or Canada). In Canada, I think they said it's something like $30 a month. Not bad, considering. :o)
