Members from the Teen Challenge Center in Pensacola came to share with us this morning. Teen challenge was started in 1958 by Reverend David Wilkerson. The program leader advised that addiction kills 7 people per minute or 3,679 million per year. That is more than population that live in the state of Mississippi. The program started out for teens, but now is open to adults. Addiction impacts not just the individual, but their family and the community. God can turn the situation around for adults and adolescents.
The participants gave testimonials and shared a moving skit. I am always blessed by the ministry of Teen Challenge.
I thought this song fit for those who need a chain breaker and waymaker.
Verses for Today:Romans 13:12
The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Lord, Thank you for being a God who sees the pain of people and is there to help when they call on You. Show me how I can help in Your work.
