October 13, 2024: Adult and Teen Challenge

It's always so encouraging and inspiring to hear from Teen Challenge!

Troy started by sharing a word from Luke 15:4-7 about the shepherd who leaves the 99 sheep to go look for the one who was lost. Pointing out that no one is ever too far gone for God to reach, and that the Kingdom of God is accessible to all, he reminded us that our responsibility is to disciple and serve God by serving others.

The men going through the program then shared their testimonies. Here are some of the excerpts:

-God showed me the difference between living life my way vs. His way.

-The truth is Prayer Works!

-The truth is God is showing me what true love is!

-The truth is God turned my pain into purpose!

-The truth is though my earthly father wasn't there, my Heavenly Father was always there!

-The Truth is God was patient and saved me from myself!

-John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

-I'm not alone! God softened my heart and gave me love and joy!

-Colossians 1:13 For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son.
