Teen Challenge is the oldest, largest and most successful program
of its kind in the world. In 1958, David Wilkerson author of
"The Cross and the Switchblade," became burdened with
the desire to help youth, adults, and families suffering from
life controlling problems primarily in the area of Drug and
alcohol abuse.
To counter the feelings of loneliness and alienation,
which he found in the street gangs of New York City, he started
to take a message of love and freedom into their communities.
This was the birth of Teen challenge. Teen Challenge has grown
to more than 80 countries worldwide and approximately 475 centers.
