We have an update on Herlindo!

From his wife Joyce: He is doing much better; his appetite is back and he is eating. He was able to get up and walk around the floor of the hospital he is currently admitted at—his strength is slowly coming back.

Right now, the doctors want to focus on getting his kidneys back to normal, which is their main concern.

We are praying that he gets out of the hospital soon so he can make it to a needed PET scan and eventually a lung biopsy. There are some medical/logistical obstacles to overcome in the coming days with tests and scans, so please continue to pray for the Lord to make a way!

Herlindo is asking for continued prayer. And he sends his sincere gratitude to everyone coming together to pray for him in this time.

Lord, we lift up Herlindo to you, in Jesus’ name!

Friends and family, our dear brother Herlindo Salinas needs a miracle. He was recently diagnosed with advanced lymphoma cancer and has been struggling significantly with breathing and eating. He is currently in the ER in Lodi, CA.

Please join us in lifting Herlindo, his wife Joyce, and their family in prayer for God's comfort, peace, and the miracle of healing in Jesus Name. Your prayers are deeply appreciated.

God bless you.

Dear friends and family!

On behalf of the entire San Diego Teen Challenge family, thank you for joining us for our 2025 Annual BBQ. It was an amazing two-night event, and your presence made it a truly special occasion.

We were blessed with record-breaking attendance, and the atmosphere was filled with hope and celebration. The powerful testimonies from the men and the performance by the New Creation Choir were particularly moving highlights that captured the heart of our ministry.

Above all, God was glorified, and His presence was evident throughout the weekend. We are so grateful for your support of this life-changing work. By partnering with us, you are playing a vital role in seeing the next miracle in someone's life.

Thank you again for your generosity and for sharing this special weekend with us. We are already looking forward to next year.

Sincerely,
Mike Conway

Teen Challenge has such an incredible Legacy of depending on miracles and divine appointments. We found our old fundraising crate that we used for decades for counting up all the coins from our men's fundraising efforts. Although times have changed the faithfulness of God and the Miracles continue to pave the way forward for this ministry.

Thank you to all of our supporters and prayer warriors who stand in agreement with us every day may God continue to bless you in Jesus name.
