Shout out to Mrs Kasey and her husband Kevin for inviting our center over last night for an awesome time of fellowship! The food was amazing, the bonfire and s’mores were perfect, and it was a great night to decompress, eat, and relax.

We’re so grateful for our director for allowing us the time to connect and enjoy moments like this.

Testimony Tuesday ✝️ 🕊️

From Darkness to Deliverance

My name is Mylysa. I came from a dark and painful past filled with abuse, molestation, rejection, heartbreak, and loneliness. Those wounds led me into depression, suicidal thoughts, and eventually into even darker places a gang-affiliated life, addiction, and all kinds of destructive choices.

As a single mother, I felt completely lost and thought I was better off dead. But God had other plans. He reached down and rescued me not once, but twice.

Three months ago, I was given the opportunity to come to Teen Challenge, and I didn’t waste a moment. I applied, and God placed me exactly where I needed to be the best place He could have created to save my life.

Whoever said “nobody puts baby in the corner” was wrong, because my Heavenly Father did but for a greater purpose. He pulled me aside to heal me, to teach me, and to remind me that I am worthy, loved, and chosen. I might not understand why God chose me, but I’m forever grateful that He did. Even when I was angry, He never stopped loving me.

Today, I can say with confidence: I am delivered, I am redeemed, and I am saved all by the power of God, through Jesus Christ, and by the grace of Teen Challenge.

Thank You, Lord, for saving my life.

October Family Day was special!

We celebrated two amazing ladies completing our 21-day orientation! We’re so proud of their consistency and determination. The first 21 days can be one of the hardest learning to surrender and let God do the work in your heart takes real courage. 🙌

We also recognized Miss Tiffany as this month’s Continuous Improvement Award recipient! She was voted by her peers as someone who consistently strives to grow and lead by example.

We’re so thankful for all that the Lord is doing in our center and through our center and even more grateful that He loves us enough to keep transforming lives every day. 💜sl

🎃 St. John’s County Reentry Resource Fair 🎃

Today, our centers had the privilege of having participating  in the St. John’s County Reentry Resource Fair! We love being able to partner with the county jail to help men and women find real solutions and support as they take steps toward a new life after incarceration.

It’s always a great time to connect with the community and this month’s Halloween theme made it even more fun! 👻🧡

🔥 Help Our Women’s Center Get a New Grill! 🔥

Our faithful old grill has officially retired after many years of service! It’s been such a blessing in helping us prepare delicious meals and create moments of fellowship for the amazing women in our program.

We use our grill often for cookouts, community gatherings, and daily meals made with love. A new grill would be such a blessing and help us continue serving our ladies with excellence.

We’ve attached a link if you’d like to purchase the new grill directly, or you can contact us to give a donation toward it. Every bit makes a difference, and we’re so thankful for your continued support! ❤️
