☕️ Brooklyn Teen Challenge is proud to announce our partnership with Lavazza! ☕️

Lavazza is a renowned Italian coffee brand, founded in 1895 in Turin, Italy.
Known for its high quality espresso blends, it offers a wide range of coffee products including whole beans, ground coffee, and coffee pods. Lavazza is celebrated for combining traditional Italian coffee craftsmanship with innovative roasting techniques, making it a staple in homes, cafes, and restaurants worldwide.

A little over a month ago, a few of our men went to the Wall Street training center and became certified baristas with this great company… And now, as of today, we officially have a brand new espresso machine on campus! Thank you so much to Frank LaRusso and Lavazza for your generous donation, friendship and opportunity. We are so honored and excited to move into this next chapter of endless possibilities with our Lavazza family.

We want to recognize of course,
Frank LaRusso.
He is the architect behind this whole relationship.
Frank has a heart for our ministry and the purpose behind it.
Every thing about this opportunity has been God ordained.
We thank you Frank, for your love and prayers for our ministry, and most importantly.. your heart for Jesus.
Andy Hernandez from Lavazza for installing the machine in our home!
And finally, Matt Falber! From City Boy !
Matt is a well known creative who is committed to help get employment training for some of our men.

Can I get an amen?

As we wind down on this great Thanksgiving Day.. we can’t help but to reflect and just smile.
There’s so much to be thankful for at Brooklyn Teen Challenge.

Being apart from family while in the house is one of the hardest parts.. it stretches your heart and tests your resolve.
But in that distance, something powerful happens: God rebuilds character, restores identity, and prepares us to love our families in a way addiction never allowed.

We’re thankful for the transformations we witness daily.. for the tears that lead to breakthroughs, for the brothers who lean on one another, and for the God who turns separation into preparation.
We’re not just getting clean, He’s making us whole.

The food was perfect. The fellowship was much needed.. but the restoration and freedom we are witnessing.. is the real deal.

Thank you Jesus.

🙏🏼 Will you please pray for us today as we finish off our Thanksgiving outreach strong?

Today we want to highlight the importance of our storefront drug awareness campaign.

We all know that addiction doesn’t just affect individuals; it impacts families, neighborhoods, and generations.
By placing hope-filled, informative materials in public storefront locations, we’re bringing the message of recovery right into the everyday flow of the community.
Someone walking by, someone silently struggling, someone feeling hopeless … they now have a reminder that help exists, and that a new life is possible.

And we couldn’t do this alone!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Stop & Shop and every business that opens its doors to the mission of Brooklyn Teen Challenge !
By allowing our materials to be displayed, you’re not just giving us space , you’re giving someone another chance at life.

Thank you for believing in change. Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for helping us fight addiction with love, courage, and faith.

👉🏼 2 Corinthians 5:17 is known as the scripture we stand on here at Brooklyn Teen Challenge and at centers all across the world.
The word says, “If ANYONE is in Christ, they are a NEW CREATION. The old has gone, the NEW is here!”
On Friday night we had one of our most memorable services to date, as we baptized some of our very own in the name of Jesus.
Thank you again Pastor Jesse Comrie for your timely message and powerful testimony.
