Welcome to Teen Challenge Barbados - this was a dynamic
faith-based year long residential training facility for young
men aged 16 and older with life-controlling addictions. Located
in the South East corner of Beautiful Barbados, This 30
-bed Centre for men once catered to the entire Caribbean region.
At Teen Challenge, these men received
hope for their futures and an opportunity to change their lives
for good with the help of God!
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.
Unfortunately there is no contact information since Teen Challenge closed in 2013.
