“Your services have aided many in learning how to lead productive and happy lives, while still others have benefited from your programs on how to avoid serious problems. I share your belief that it is vital that we teach our young people about the importance of adhering to traditional values, the dignity of work, acceptance of personal responsibility, love for one’s neighbor, and respect for the Creator. I commend you,for helping to instill such values and for reminding young people that humility and resolve lead to patience and strength. These virtues, by their nature, build self-worth and dignity. Keep up the good work.”
- President George H. Bush
“The Teen Challenge program succeeds when all of the government programs have failed.”

“In my opinion, Teen Challenge is doing the best all-around job of providing the kids with something meaningful in their lives. And that’s what they all need. . .I thank you for your continuing support for Teen Challenge.”
- Art Linkletter
“I’ve believed in this ministry since its very beginning. And I continue to support it. I consider it a real privilege to endorse this work. Thank God for Teen Challenge!”
- Rev. Billy Graham
“We have long been aware of the tremendous ministry of Teen Challenge. I consider it a real privilege to endorse this work. Thank God for places like Teen Challenge that not only understand the problem, but know God, who can set young people free and transform them into whole, useful, caring people.”
- Ruth Graham
“Not only does Teen Challenge help our young people deal with their substance abuse, but is also gives our kids something to live for—a relationship with God, a healthy self-esteem, and a direction in their lives that finally leads somewhere.”
“It’s going to take the all-out commitment of concerned citizens like you and me to help turn the tide of drug abuse among our kids, but for Teen Challenge to help we need your help now more than ever. A wise person once said that God’s reward for a job well done is that He always gives us a bigger job to do. We have that bigger job, and with your generosity we’ll help more of America’s youth than ever before.”
“ I sincerely appreciate your efforts to reach and rehabilitate the many young people who have, at present, no hope in life. The ministry and dedication of Teen Challenge deserve the commendation of every citizen.”
- President Ronald Reagan
“I believe in the work of this great organization. A government funded research project concluded that Teen Challenge has the highest success rate in helping people move from substance abuse, off substance abuse. The ministry of Teen Challenge International, USA has helped countless individuals through its 40-year history. Teen Challenge changes the world one person at a time, by offering hope and direction to those with problems that are ruining their lives.”
- John Ashcroft
What A Blessing!
How can we thank you enough for your generous gift of videos for our ministry? When we wrote several ministries asking for any teaching material that could best teach our men about Jesus, we expected some reply. Yet, your reply has truly blessed us! Thank you for sending your DVDs-amazingly, your entire DVD library! To me personally, this simply confirms that you are truly a man of God, generous and loving! Thank you! While we work on completing renovations and look forward to opening as a residential center soon, our staff and family are enjoying the DVDs. My twelve year old son refused to go to sleep until he could see 'just one more' of your teachings! Our staff, who are living in the building, doing the renovations, and preparing the program for opening, have enjoyed them as well. Our staff is made up of men who have been through the Teen Challenge program, redeemed from a life of drugs and alcohol. Our 'clients' are men from the streets who, just like the men who work with us, are given the chance to be redeemed. It is exciting work and having such great DVDs as you have sent help make the work a joy! We love how your messages cut through the religion and get to the heart of Jesus. It reaches people on so many levels. Thank you!
