History
In 1958, David Wilkerson travelled to New York City to start a ministry to teenagers involved in drugs and gangs. Over the next 50 years, the organization he founded would transform thousands of men and women through the power of Jesus Christ, breaking the cycles of drug addiction, alcoholism, gang life and other life-controlling problems. Teen Challenge is now recognized as one of the most successful addiction recovery programs in the world with an over 80% success rate. It has earned endorsements from prominent leaders such as Billy Graham, Chuck Colson, three U.S. Presidents, and dozens of world leaders.
What’s Happening Now?
Teen Challenge and its collaborative partners in Ukraine and Russia currently operate over 1,060 ministries in 82 countries, providing assistance through residential recovery programs with a capacity of 23,784 beds.
As of April, 2009, there are 38 more countries with invitations to establish Teen Challenge ministries which will offer assistance to individuals in their countries.
