Nearly every month someone completes our local four-month
program!
When they come off the streets they are in
various stages of crisis, degeneration, addiction, and despair. The
Baltimore Induction Center is like a "Boot Camp for Substance
Abusers," and completion is not a sure thing. Only those who want
that monkey off their back permanently, and who are willing to
submit to any change necessary in their lives to ensure this, will
make it through the program.
The good news is: God plans for
your life are so much better than your own plans. If you allow Him
to take control of your life, as your Lord and Savior, you will have
real and permanent satisfaction you never found in the arms of a
woman, in the bottom of a bottle, or at the end of a needle.
When our graduates leave the local program, they
go on to the second-phase, advanced program, at the regional
training center in Pennsylvania for another 10 months. We love to
hear the stories of their continued growth, deliverance, and success
as they allow God to use the well-trained and experienced staff to
help them rebuild lives they have torn down.
The work of a
lifetime cannot be rebuilt in a day, or in 28 days, which is why we
offer a 14 month program. In addition, when the program is
completed, we offer career counceling, scholarship support, and
staff opportunities to those who are so inclined to give back. Teen
Challenge graduates are living healthy and productive lives around
the world, a testimony to the most successful life-rebuilding
program in the world. |
