- From Brooklyn, New York…
In 1958, young Rev David Wilkerson, an Assemblies of God pastor from Pennsylvania received a challenge from God to spend less time in front of the television set and more time on his knees praying for God’s direction for his life. His response to that challenge to prayer birthed his involvement with seven gang members who had murdered a defenseless, crippled teenager in cold blood.
His mission to reach out to these hardened young men with the love of God led him on a journey that took him into the heart of Brooklyn, New York, a notorious area marred by gang violence, drug addiction and prostitution. His relentless and spirited work there eventually resulted in the establishment of the very first Teen Challenge Centre in 1960.
In 1958, many people thought David Wilkerson was crazy to try taking the gospel to drug-addicted teens in New York City. Today, few of those critics are willing to question the success of the Teen Challenge ministry.
Teen Challenge has grown to include 173 residential programs and numerous evangelism outreach centers in the United States, and 241 centers in 77 other countries. The program's cure rate of 86% has been recognized and substantiated by the U.S. Government's National Institute on Drug Abuse. All Teen Challenge centers operate autonomously.
Teen Challenge graduates include former drug addicts, alcoholics, gang members, prostitutes and others with life-controlling habits. Today, many graduates serve as ministers and missionaries throughout the world.
