/Testimonials/
God used Teen Challenge to save, deliver, and restore my life. After a 14 year spiral of drug abuse, multiple arrests, and imprisonment God healed me, called me into ministry, and gave me a family of my own. Now, as the Director of Teen Challenge Bay Minette, I have the privilege of leading others to the same transformation I experienced through Christ.
