It has been 10 years since Teen Challenge Jamaica (TCJ) was founded by Rev. John Stiegerwald and on Saturday, October 27, 2007 he (the founder), graduates of the progamme, administrators, staff and supporters gathered at a dinner and awards ceremony, at the Hilton Kingston Hotel to reflect on: our successes, strategies for renewal and to honour graduates who have been walking free from addiction for over five years and those who have faithfully served the programme since its inception.

 Honoured were: Rev. John Steigerwald -  the founder,  Karissa McCarter – former Executive Director, Andree Aiken – 8 yrs staff service, Victor Francis – 8 yrs drug free & 7 yrs staff service, Anthony Richards – presently serves as Acting Executive Director; 7 yrs drug free & 6 yrs staff service, Mavis Solomon – 6yrs staff service, Basil Solomon –  over 5 yrs drug free and outstanding service as a graduate, Gregory Anderson – over 5 yrs drug free,  Emile Reid– over 5 yrs drug free, Eric Curry – outstanding service as a graduate, Andrew Lewis – outstanding service as graduate.  

This year marks 10 challenging but fulfilling years of ministry to the community by Teen Challenge Jamaica. Through much prayer and fasting the ministry has withstood the rigors of financial constraints, resource needs, public speculations of its effectiveness and has triumphed with many success stories and continues to play a significant role in the lives of many who would have died of their addiction had there not been intervention. Many of who were at this banquet were also there when the first banquet was held to launch Teen Challenge in Jamaica in 1997.
