You graduated. Life was good. Until it wasn't. Heartbreak crept in. Disappointment settled. Offense took hold. Bitterness grew a root. The fade was slow. Until it wasn't. Now shame has you. And the light feels far. But Jesus reaches into the deepest graves. No pit is too dark. No story is too broken. Come back to where everything changed. Spiritual Emphasis. Let the waters of His grace, freedom, and mercy make you new. You are not too far gone. Come home. We saved a seat for you.

Here at San Diego Teen Challenge, we all know and recognize on a daily basis how well and how far our Lord provides for us. And then He goes and does something that completely surprises and reminds of how great His provision really is.

Yesterday, our center had a brand new AC unit installed over our Glassroom and Staff offices because the orginal unit (about 35 years old) broke. It was installed by Air Temperature Specialists and the unit was donated by AC Pro! Our students and staff members are rejoicing as of this post being published-- this AC is rock'n!

We want to deeply thank Tony Poggione, who is also a Teen Challenge Alumni, who oversaw all of this from beginning to end and to AC Pro for donating the entire unit to us.

Please check out the video below highlighting the pretty epic install process!

We would like to thank everyone who joined us for our annual Silent Auction on March 28th! It was a total success and we had so much fun watching everyone bid on so many cool items that were donated to us this year! From the student testimonies, to the choir, to the live auction element, we saw so many smiles and impacted hearts.

Thank you again for investing into the lives of our men here at San Diego Teen Challenge!

Now check out this short, but awesome recap video highlighting the night's events!

It's not too late,... you can still give towards the Auction! Click here:
