Teen Challenge Southeast

09/16/2026

Yesterday, our Teen Challenge Southeast regional office and Columbus Women’s Home came together to Walk for Freedom!

It was a powerful reminder that every step can help raise awareness, bring hope, and support the life-changing work happening through Teen Challenge.

Throughout this month, we’re encouraging Teen Challenge centers, churches, small groups, businesses, families, and communities to do the same. Gather your people, organize a Walk for Freedom in your community, and take a step together for hope, freedom, and restored lives.

One walk can make a difference. Let’s see communities across the country walking for freedom this month.

One walk can make a difference.

This year, Teen Challenge Southeast is joining the Walk for Freedom, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Whether you join an existing walk or gather your family, church, small group, or friends to host your own event, every step helps raise awareness and support the life-changing work happening through Teen Challenge.

Communities across the country are coming together to walk for hope, freedom, and restored lives. We’d love to see churches, businesses, recovery groups, and local communities across the Southeast host their own Walk for Freedom and make an impact where they live.

This weekend, across the nations, Teen Challenge ministries are gathering to worship the name of Jesus.

In residential centers. In churches. In homes. In villages and crowded cities. In places where men and women are taking their first steps out of addiction—and in places where generations of lives have already been transformed.

Different languages. Different cultures. Different stories.

One name: Jesus.

Teen Challenge is more than rehabilitation. More than recovery. More than a program.

We believe lasting freedom is found in Jesus Christ.

For decades, Teen Challenge ministries around the world have stepped into some of the hardest places—walking alongside men and women trapped in addiction, bringing the hope of the Gospel, and believing that no life is beyond the transforming power of Jesus.

This weekend, would you pray with us for Teen Challenge ministries around the world?

Pray for the student who has just arrived and isn’t sure freedom is possible.

Pray for the one rebuilding a life after years of addiction.

Pray for families longing for restoration.

Pray for staff and leaders who faithfully show up every day, pointing people toward Jesus.

And pray that as worship rises from Teen Challenge centers around the world, the name of Jesus would be made famous.

May people encounter Him.
May chains be broken.
May lives be restored.
May families be reunited.
May disciples be made.
May the Gospel go forward.

Until all live free.

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” — John 8:36

God is still calling. And God is still sending.

Charles and Kimberly Krick know firsthand the transformational power of Jesus. Both are Teen Challenge graduates whose lives have been changed by Christ, and today they serve on staff at a Teen Challenge center, helping others discover that same hope and freedom.

But God’s work in their lives didn’t stop when they completed the program.

This summer, the Krick family followed God’s call overseas, spending two weeks serving alongside our Teen Challenge family across Romania. Together as a family, they traveled to multiple Teen Challenge locations, shared their testimonies, preached, encouraged students and staff, and spent time with leaders who are faithfully carrying the hope of Jesus into their communities.

Their story is a beautiful picture of what Teen Challenge is all about.

We don’t simply want to see people walk out of addiction. We want to see lives completely transformed by Jesus—and then watch as God sends those transformed lives back into the world.

Into their families.
Into the marketplace.
Into local churches.
Into full-time ministry.
And even to the nations.

Across our Teen Challenge family, there are graduates and alumni whom God is calling to GO. Some will serve across the street. Others will serve across the world. But every one of them carries a testimony of what Jesus can do with a surrendered life.

We are grateful for Charles, Kimberly, and their family for saying yes to Romania—and we are praying for the many others God is still calling.

The harvest is plentiful. The call is still going out.

Who will say yes?

This week, a team from Teen Challenge Southeast is serving alongside our Teen Challenge family in Honduras.

Through ministry, service projects, and time spent together, they’re building relationships and encouraging the local team as they continue bringing hope to those in need.

Thank you for joining us in praying for the team this week—that God would strengthen them, protect them, and use every opportunity to make an eternal impact.

Melissa and I leave Santiago, Chile with hearts full of gratitude for the opportunity to serve alongside the incredible Teen Challenge ministries represented throughout Latin America.

We came hoping to encourage and equip others, yet God used this experience to challenge, encourage, and bless us just as deeply through the people we met, the testimonies we heard, and the work He is doing across the region.

What a privilege it is to be part of God’s greater vision of partnering together to fulfill the Great Commission, strengthen His Church, and see lives transformed through the hope of Jesus Christ!

Our team in Argentina has experienced an incredible few days of ministry alongside the Teen Challenge family. We’ve been encouraged by the leaders we’ve met, inspired by the life-changing work taking place, and grateful for the opportunity to come alongside and strengthen those serving on the front lines.

One of the greatest privileges of On The Way Global Missions and Global Teen Challenge is connecting leaders across nations to encourage, equip, and invest in one another. It is powerful to witness how God is transforming lives across cultures through His Church and through the ministry of Teen Challenge.

Over the past few days, it has been incredible to see God at work as leaders from the Teen Challenge Southeast region have been serving alongside Teen Challenge Argentina.

Together, they have been investing in leaders through teaching, encouragement, discipleship, and times of worship. It’s been a powerful reminder that when the global Church comes together, lives are strengthened, leaders are equipped, and the mission of bringing hope and freedom in Christ continues to grow.

Please continue praying for this team as they finish out their time in Argentina. Pray for strength, good health, wisdom, and fresh anointing as they minister. Pray for every leader and every person sensing God’s call to serve through Teen Challenge—that they would be encouraged, equipped, and empowered for the work ahead.

Thank you for praying with us. Your prayers are part of what God is doing as leaders are being raised up to reach people with the hope of Jesus for generations to come.

Join us in praying for leaders from across the Teen Challenge Southeast region as they serve this week alongside Teen Challenge Argentina.

Pray that God would give them wisdom, clarity, and boldness as they teach and encourage. Pray for health, safety, strength, and open hearts as they invest in leaders and those sensing God’s call to serve through Teen Challenge.

One of the greatest joys of Global Teen Challenge is seeing leaders raise up other leaders across cultures, languages, and nations. This is the beauty of the global Church—serving together, learning from one another, and strengthening the mission of bringing hope and freedom in Christ to people around the world.

Thank you for standing with this team in prayer. Together, we are investing in leaders who will continue to impact lives for generations to come.
