TESTIMONIALS

I was found on the street of downtown Kingston at the age of three days old, I found out that I was adopted at the age of fourteen years old, when my parents were getting a divorce. That devastated my life, I started the habit of smoking cigarette, then Marijuana. I started hanging out with the gangsters in my community ,then soon I was involved in criminal activities. Life became difficult for me because of the choice I made to be a gangster, I also became bitter against my family but still they never turned their backs on me, especially my mother, she had faith that God could change me and that I will accept Jesus Christ in my heart. |
I was so involved in crime to the extent that I was in and out of jails and police lockups. The last time I went to jail I was not given bail. I went from jail to a juvenile remand center where I was detained for two months. I was release to go to Teen Challenge. At first I did not want to go to Teen Challenge knowing that it was a Christian place, but I still gave it a chance. I accepted Jesus as lord and savior of my life and today I have not regretted that decision, and now I have graduated the Teen challenge Discipleship program and living a Christian life with the knowledge I grasped from the T.C program and their classroom teaching I must give God thanks for another chance at life and for Teen Challenge, if it had not been for God through Teen Challenge I don’t know where I would be. Praise God and God Bless Teen Challenge Jamaica!

I was accused of indecent assault of my sister, which caused me to leave home. I was brought to the Police Station by my mother where I was question by the polices concerning the incident. The following day I went back to the station where I was formally charged. While in jail I experienced a lot of bad things, during the eight days I prayed a lot asking the lord to help me out. One day while there I received a visit from the director of Teen Challenge. I was enrolled into T.C program through which I came to accept the lord through the fourteen courses which I did. They helped me to understand about myself, God and his purposes for my life. I have now been given freedom and with His help I will remain free. No more shackles, no more pain and no more bondage, I am free! God has given me another chance. Thank God for His mercy. |
