Rochester Adult & Teen Challenge is our Mission of the Month for April. They will attend and participate in leading portions of our service on April 21.
Rochester Adult & Teen Challenge is a faith-based solution for the drug epidemic. Taking a holistic approach, they provide services designed to help with the spiritual, mental, emotional, social, and physical wellness of those struggling with addiction. Through proven solutions for life-controlling issues, the hope is for lives to be transformed, where graduates flourish as contributing members of a family, church, workplace, and community—free from addiction.
The Rochester facility at 160 Northaven Terrace provides 12 months of care and support. The benefits of the long-term residential, discipleship program are many. The students enter a loving, supportive, Christian community and are mentored by others who have walked the same path to freedom. They are given the opportunity to cultivate the life practice of personal prayer, daily devotions and so much more.
When the team visits our service, there will be between 20 and 25 participants who will provide personal testimonies, special music, and a scripture-based message. Afterward, the Fellowship Committee will offer a special lunch where we can speak with the participants and get to know them better.
Our church supported Teen Challenge in Rochester many years ago, and now we are back providing financial support in the Evangelism and Missions budget. The Rochester program is offering tours of their facility. We may be organizing a trip to visit and see the facility.
