At Teen Challenge, young people are able to learn a new way of life
through a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. |
|
Appalachian Teen Challenge is a 12 to 14 month residential training
school for young men 18 years and up. The program offers discipleship
training, which includes Bible based topical studies, so that the
students learn to function as Christians in society. It is through these
Biblical principles and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that
the young men are able to overcome their life controlling problems, such
as alcohol and/or drug addiction, anger management, etc. These
principles also help students strengthen their relationships with family
and develop into emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, and
spiritually alive individuals. The students are introduced to their
loving and gracious personal Savior, Jesus!
The ministry is one of evangelism and outreach. By sharing their personal testimonies on street-witnessing teams, students give hope to others. Also, choir and evangelism teams visit churches to share the good news that Jesus Christ changes lives. |

"As a
Chaplain of Bluefield Regional Medical Center, I have had the opportunity to
interact with Appalachian Teen Challenge's Executive Director, Jim Nickels, and
to provide pastoral care to Teen Challenge residents who were patients at the
Medical Center.
"My experiences have affirmed the Christian orthodoxy of Teen Challenge's Biblical approach to the rehabilitation of persons with life-controlling problems."
