We extend our deepest gratitude to Pastor Walter Nistorenko of Impact Church, Ocean View, NJ, for faithfully sharing the Word of God with the men and women of Adult & Teen Challenge NJ. Your message, compassion, and willingness to pour into our community were truly a blessing. Thank you for allowing God to use you to encourage, inspire, and strengthen lives through His truth.

Good morning from the mountains of Lebanon. As the men work together in this beautiful weather God has provided—clearing snow and caring for the safety of everyone on campus—we give thanks for His protection and provision. May the Lord bless the work of their hands, keep everyone safe, and grant all of us a peaceful and blessed week ahead.

This is a season of breakthrough. We welcome the Holy Spirit into our lives this year, trusting that it is “not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord. We pray for a spiritual awakening, believing in the promise that God will pour out His Spirit on all people and renew us with power and purpose.

What an amazing day we are having here on the New Jersey campus. The men are gathered in a recovery meeting, openly sharing their experiences and encouraging one another, reminded that “iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs 27:17, KJV).

“A Christmas Gathering Blessed by Christ”
What a wonderful time we had at our yearly Christmas party!
Staff, apprentices, and all of our faithful volunteers came together, and the evening was filled with joy—good food, good fun, and even better fellowship. Moments like these remind us how blessed we are to be part of a Christ-centered community, united not only by our work but by the love of Jesus that brings us together.

Tyler’s addiction began quietly. What started with small compromises eventually spiraled into a full op**te dependency that cost him his marriage, his stability, and nearly his future. When everything collapsed, he came to Adult and Teen Challenge, where God restored his life and set him on a solid foundation.

Morgan’s journey was marked by trauma, homelessness, and years of addiction. At her lowest moment, ready to give up, she felt God whisper that her life still had purpose. She came to the Southern New England Women’s Home and found healing, freedom, and hope she never thought possible.

Today, Tyler and Morgan are married, sober, serving at Adult and Teen Challenge, and building a life rooted in faith, stability, and purpose. Their story is living proof that God can redeem the deepest brokenness.

Eric’s addiction began in high school and slowly escalated from weekend drinking to daily pills, then he**in. His life unraveled through arrests, overdoses, and the heartbreak of watching friends die from the same choices he was making. In 2016 he walked through the doors of Adult & Teen Challenge, surrendered his life to God, and everything changed. He rebuilt his faith, found purpose, and eventually joined our staff, serving with the gifts God restored in him. In addition to being the head of IT & Graphics, Eric enjoys helps ministries and Christian artists with their media production.

Sara’s journey was marked by trauma, abuse, addiction, and deep pain. Years of searching for relief led her into dangerous relationships and he**in use that nearly took her life. After being freed from an abusive situation, she entered Adult & Teen Challenge in 2015. There she encountered God’s love, found healing from her past, earned her GED, and rebuilt her life on a foundation of hope. She is a director of a program overseeing the care of adults with disabilities.

Today, Eric and Sara are married, sober, thriving, and serving others with compassion. Their story is living proof that no life is too broken for God to restore.
