My role at Global Teen Challenge is to serve Adult & Teen Challenge leaders in Canada and around the world with staff training and personal development, strategic planning and implementing accreditation standards.
Current Projects
As Covid-19 restrictions allow, we are working to establish strategic planning and accreditation intensives in each of the seven regions served by Global Teen Challenge.
How Can You Partner?
1. There is power in united prayer, and my number one request is for prayer coverage!
2. If you’re interested in serving on a short-term missions trip at a Teen Challenge centre, please connect with me and let me know your preference of country/region.
Vision and Future Plans
The mission of Global Teen Challenge is to put hope within reach of every addict. There are approximately 27 countries currently looking for new discipleship programs and we continue to seek God’s direction to expand our reach. A personal burden of mine is to see a Teen Challenge centre established in Canada’s far north.
Resources to Share with Others
Adult & Teen Challenge is enthusiastic and intentional about sharing resources with other ministries, including discipleship curriculum, staff training material and a support network. Find out more at https://staff.teenchallengeusa.org and let me know if you have any questions.
