As we head into a month that’s often all about love, hearts, and relationships, it’s important to remember this:

If you don’t have a significant other, there is no reason to despair. 💕

The love of the LORD is greater, deeper, and more faithful than the love of any person could ever be. His love never fades, never fails, and never walks away.

This month—and every month—we can rest in the truth that we are fully known, fully loved, and fully valued by Him. And that kind of love is more than enough. ❤️

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Matthew 13:44

As we enter a new year, we are reminded that all we can offer our students who are seeking freedom, is refuge and support that facilitates voluntary encounter with Jesus.
Jesus is the great reward for those that diligently seek Him, for He is the only one who makes all things new!

🎄 Thank You to Our Amazing Donors 🎄

Our hearts are so full after such a wonderful Christmas party with our students last night! Because of your generosity, laughter filled the room, joy was shared, and our students were reminded just how loved and supported they truly are.

A special thank you to everyone who baked homemade cookies and donated food items for the dinner. Your time, effort, and generosity truly made the meal extra special and helped create a warm, festive atmosphere for everyone.

From the food and decorations to the meaningful moments of connection, every detail helped make the evening memorable. You didn’t just give gifts — you helped create hope, encouragement, and a sense of family this Christmas season.

Thank you for standing with Adult & Teen Challenge and for investing in the lives of our students. We are so grateful for each of you and for the difference you continue to make. ❤️
