What a powerful week it has been. 🙌

The Lord truly blessed us during Spiritual Emphasis Week. We witnessed souls saved, spiritual healing take place, and hearts renewed by the power of God.

Tonight, we wrapped up the week with dear friends who traveled to minister to our men, and we are incredibly grateful for each of them: John Bailey, COO of World Challenge; Sean Shaun Miles, pastor and missionary with Psalm 67 Ministries; and Kevin Harrison, President of Mosaic College. Thank you for the time you took, the truth you shared, and the genuine love you poured out.

We couldn’t have ended Spiritual Emphasis Week any better—reminded once again that God is sovereign and that no one is ever too far gone. All glory to Him for what He has done and for what He continues to do. 🙏✨

What a powerful service again last night! 🙌

We were incredibly blessed to have Pastor Josh from Whitehouse Assembly in Jacksonville bring the Word, and Josh & Rebekah Fisher lead us into such a meaningful time of worship.

The presence of God was tangible, hearts were stirred, and lives were encouraged. We’re so grateful for friends who are willing to come alongside us and pour into what God is doing here.

Thank you for serving with such humility and faithfulness—we were truly blessed to have you with us. ❤️🔥

What an incredible night at our 3rd day of Spiritual Emphasis Week 🙌

Pastor Jaime from Trinity Church in Deltona brought an amazing word, and we witnessed 12 people give their lives to Christ—heaven is rejoicing!

We are also so grateful for the amazing worship team from Trinity Church, who led us into the presence of God. What a powerful night of worship and surrender.

God is truly moving in this place, and we are expectant for all He’s going to do the rest of this week. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue believing for more lives to be changed.

🔥 God is not finished yet! 🔥

Night 2 of Spiritual Emphasis Week was incredibly powerful!

We were blessed to hear from our very own Mike Waldron, Phase 2 Teacher and Training Facilitator, as he shared on the importance of sexual purity before marriage and how marriage is more than a commitment, it’s a covenant designed by God.

Mike challenged our students to view relationships through God’s lens, honor our bodies, and prepare our hearts for the kind of love that reflects Christ. We are raising these men up to be men of honor!

We’re grateful for Mike sharing God's truth and showing the importance of honoring God's way!

WOW—what a night!
We kicked off Spiritual Emphasis Week with Pastor Jesse Starr from Faith Assembly of God, and it was an incredible time of worship, prayer, and honesty.

Watching the guys open up, pray for one another, and encounter God together was powerful. We’re so grateful for our relationship with Faith Assembly, and for the way they consistently pour into our guys. Nights like this remind us why we do what we do. 🙏🔥

We are grateful for the relationship we have with Faith Assembly. We’re especially thankful to Pastor David for taking time out of his day to meet with us, allowing us to fellowship together and encourage one another. Relationships like these truly matter, and we value the opportunity to walk alongside each other.

What an amazing group of people! We had such a productive meeting focused on how we can collaborate and support one another in serving our community.

So grateful for Marieliz Carmara, Banking Manager at Seacoast Bank, Tricia Feliu, President & CEO of the Sanford Chamber of Commerce, and Shannon Fischer, Sales Manager with St. Johns River Ship and 2026 Chair for the Sanford Chamber of Commerce.

We’re especially excited that Marieliz will be launching financial wellness classes with our men, equipping them with practical and valuable skills in budgeting, money management, and financial responsibility as they prepare for life beyond the program.

This is what real community collaboration looks like, and we’re thankful to walk alongside leaders who truly care about making a lasting impact. 💙

Testimony 🙌

I didn’t really know how to give a testimony, because my life had been filled with pain, loss, and brokenness from a very young age. For many years, I struggled deeply and found myself in and out of prison, homelessness, and addiction. I tried countless times to change my life on my own, but nothing ever seemed to last.

Even when I cried out to God, I still found myself back in the same destructive cycles. But God never gave up on me—even when I gave up on myself. By His grace, my life was spared more than once, and each time He reminded me that He still had a purpose for me.

Eventually, after facing serious consequences for my actions, I prayed for God to truly change my life. He answered that prayer by opening the door for me to come to Teen Challenge. Since being here, my life has changed in ways I never thought possible. I’ve grown closer to God, found hope again, and begun a new life rooted in faith and gratitude.

By the grace of God, I am still here. And today, I am thankful—because God saved me.

Today was an incredible Family Day, and it was undeniable—the Holy Spirit was in the room. There weren’t many dry eyes. It was powerful.

We are so thankful for the families who continue to stand by their loved ones through this process. Your support, love, and perseverance matter more than you know. Today, we had the honor of recognizing two families who have remained strong and faithful, loving their family members well through every step of the journey.

We also celebrated three graduates and watched several students move up into Second Phase—huge milestones worth celebrating.

We are truly witnessing lives being changed and families being restored, and this is exactly why we do what we do. 🙌❤️

So thankful for Trinity Church in Deltona for having our guys out last night! 🙏

We’re incredibly grateful for the partnership and the love shown to our men. It’s because of churches like Trinity that we’re able to continue doing what we do—helping men find hope, healing, and lasting freedom.

Thank you for opening your doors, welcoming our guys, and standing with us in this mission. We’re better together. 💙
