Spring has sprung, and the ladies are soaking up every bit of sunshine as they return to the garden! 🌱☀️ There’s something so refreshing about getting their hands in the soil, planting new life, and enjoying the beauty of the season together.

“See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come.” — Song of Songs 2:11–12 🌸

With spring just around the corner, the women have begun working outside again. 🌷

There’s a sense of excitement in the air as the gardens are being prepared and the greenhouse is getting ready for seeds to be started soon. After the long winter, it’s wonderful to be back outdoors, working together and welcoming the new growing season. 🌱

On February 7th, Josie and Ashley celebrate the completion of the program—and the start of a deeper journey in their walk of faith with Jesus. They have both chosen to stay on, trusting the Lord’s plan for what comes next. His love and light radiate through them. A special thanks to all the women that pour into these ladies lives.

“He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 1:6

✨ What a Beautiful Saturday in Wanchese! ✨

This past Saturday, the ladies of the Dare Challenge Women’s Center had the honor of catering a wedding shower in Wanchese—and y’all, it was absolutely spectacular. From an abundance of homemade goodies to gracious, joyful service, everything came together perfectly. The room was full, the food was enjoyed, and the love could be felt in every detail.

Our women pour their hearts into what they do, and catering is one of the ways they raise funds to support the life-changing work happening at the Women’s Center every single day. When you book our catering, you’re not just getting delicious, homemade food and dependable service—you’re directly supporting women rebuilding their lives.

If you’re planning a shower, luncheon, meeting, or special event, we would love to serve you. Thank you to everyone who trusted our ladies with such a special celebration. 💛

Well… we can officially say the Women’s Center survived the snowstorm ❄️💪

Everyone is safe, warm, and accounted for.

The only casualty? Our beloved greenhouse. 💔🌿

And wouldn’t you know it—we were this close to starting our spring seeds. The timing is almost funny… almost.

But around here, we’re no strangers to starting over. If storms teach us anything, it’s that growth doesn’t stop just because plans get rearranged. Spring is still coming, seeds will still be planted, and yes—we’ll be rebuilding. 😉

If anyone feels led to help us resurrect a new greenhouse (stronger, warmer, and a little more storm-proof), we’d sure be grateful. Until then, we’ll keep doing what we do best: weathering storms and growing hope anyway. 🌱🤍

Thank you for the prayers, the check-ins, and the love you always show this ministry.

We are so grateful for everyone who continues to make this possible!❤️✝️

This will be my final Happy New Year message as I lead the ministry of Dare Challenge.

When we first began this journey nearly 20 years ago, we had approximately $2,000 in our checking account, one broken-down old church van, and we owned nothing else. We rented the facility we were in and truly started from scratch. From the very beginning, we made a commitment to listen to the Holy Spirit—to allow Him to direct and guide what we do and how we do it at Dare Challenge.

Through the years, God has been faithful beyond measure.
Today, we are just about finished with a brand-new men’s facility that will house up to 50 men. This year, we are also launching a new phase of the program—the Rehab College, designed for graduates who want to stay longer, get a job, build a résumé, save money, and earn a certification through our local college—so they can leave with confidence, dignity, and real tools for long-term success.

We have also purchased a full Women’s Center, which is open, operating, and doing incredibly well—leading women to the cross, restoring lives, and helping them overcome addiction.

And by God’s grace, we are completely debt-free. That alone is a testimony that if you remain faithful to the Lord, He will always be faithful to you.

Now, as this ministry approaches 20 years, it is time for me to step aside and allow new leadership with fresh vision to carry Dare Challenge forward—so that it may continue to grow, prosper, and bring men and women to Jesus. We have never been tied to denomination or religion—only to leading broken lives to the cross.

My prayer for this coming year is that as leadership transitions begin, God will always be first in everything that is done, and that Dare Challenge will remain a ministry that helps men and women become truly successful—in life and in faith.

Chris Warwick will be overseeing the ministry beginning at the end of 2026, and I fully believe God’s hand is on this transition and that this is the right direction.

So as I say farewell in this role, I want to say thank you, God bless you, and Happy New Year.

If you are able, please consider making an end-of-the-year donation to help us continue this life-changing work. Please also keep the new leadership and the future direction of Dare Challenge in your prayers.
God bless you all—and Happy New Year. 🤍
