The 50th anniversary of Teen Challenge

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Teen Challenge, an evangelical Christian recovery program. LubbockOnline recently ran a story on their local Teen Challenge center. For Kevin Thompson, a graduate of that program, God was the reason that he entered the program:

'I was sitting in the backseat of a patrol car,' he says, 'and I looked out the window and saw a church. God spoke to me - Are you tired of running yet?' That's the moment I decided to change, and I said, Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it.''

I'm sure that there are many amazing stories about how people decided to go into the Teen Challenge program. In addition, I have heard many amazing stories personally from graduates of Minnesota Teen Challenge of how the program has changed their lives. So many broken families and hearts have had an opportunity to mend thanks to this program.
