  2. Teen Challenge “FACILITATING LIFE TRANSFORMATION FOR PEOPLE WITH LIFE-CONTROLLING PROBLEMS, ONE PERSON AT A TIME.”

  3. Introduction Our heart is reaching the lost and teaching that they are valuable to God and He has a purpose for each one of their lives. We believe it is important to view the hurting people of society as potential responsible employees, parents, teachers, pastors, missionaries, evangelists, etc.

  4. The Philosophy of Teen Challenge Challenge helps people to find a meaningful answer to all of life’s problems. We believe that Jesus Christ is the cure for all life-controlling habits. Teen Challenge offers a “total cure” (recovery) for the whole person. This holistic approach addresses the spiritual, mental & emotional, educational, physical, and social dimensions of the individual as integrated components.

  5. Total Recovery from Addiction Spiritual Dimension Mental & Emotional Welfare Socially Physical Needs Educational Training

  6. 1. Spiritual Dimension This affects every area of our lives. External problems must be treated as the symptoms of a spiritual root. a. Real healing begins when the spiritual need is met. Through Jesus Christ, the life of the troubled person changes. b. Because of this new life and the power of the Holy Spirit, they learn to cope with problems.

  7. 2. Mental & Emotional Warfare The Bible teaches, “ And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Rom. 12:2)

  8. 2. Mental & Emotional Welfare a. People who enter TC have suffered the consequences of “wrong thinking.” b. Consistent Bible study enhances mental & emotional health by serving as a foundation for restructuring thought patterns, thereby creating a new and stable way of life. c. Group and personal mentoring facilitates mental and emotional growth.

  9. 3. Educational Training a. Students may have the opportunity to complete their high school education. b. Others can be assisted in general education in areas such as reading and writing. c. Teen Challenge may offer professional assistance and job skills training.

  10. 4. Physical Needs Teen Challenge cares for the physical needs of the students by providing roof, shelter, recreation, and work therapy as a part of the daily program.

  11. 5. Socially a. Students Relate positively to their peers, staff, family, and community. b. Assume responsibilities as members of society, their families, and the body of Christ. c. Learn how to see to needs of others, live unselfishly, and help one another.

  12. The Goals ofTeen Challenge The first goal is to bring people to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The second is to teach and train students what it means to be a disciple. The third goal of Teen Challenge is to prepare students to successfully re-enter the mainstream of society.

  13. Two Dangers to Avoid in Rehabilitation a. One danger is that students will learn all the right words without experiencing the change that comes from understanding and applying their meaning. b. The other is a danger of students experiencing only an emotional release instead of having a real spiritual change. A student may feel guilty about past wrongdoings, confess their sins in prayer with tears, and as a result feel better. However, spiritual change begins with repentance (turning from sin).

  14. The Structure of the Residential Program • Teen Challenge is highly structured. The rules and policies help students become aware of their actions and attitudes, as well as the effect they have on others. The purpose of the structure is to: a. Overcome negative behavior and habits. b. Realize the need to discipline their minds, actions, and attitudes in every phase of life.

  15. The Structure of the Residential Program c. Have a stable environment that is predictable, secure, and safe. d. Assist in the information of positive habits that should continue when they leave Teen Challenge • As students grow and earn trust, more privileges and responsibility should be given.

  32. Sample Application 1

  33. Group Studies for New Christians The Group Studies for New Christians classes are fundamental tools in the process of developing a deeper relationship Jesus Christ. The 14 classes teach Biblical principles and give the tools to apply them to the student’s lives. While these courses are designed with new believers in mind, they are a great refresher for those who are more mature in their faith. These classes provide practical hope for living in today's society.

  34. Personal Studies for New Christians The Personal Studies for New Christians (PSNC) is a non-traditional approach to training new Christians. Teachers work one-on-one with each student in the PSNC classroom, where each student works at their own pace through a series of Bible studies, character qualities, scripture memorization, and much more. All the studies focus on personal application today, helping new Christians discover practical ways of using these Biblical principles in their daily living.
