Our History
In 1958, Reverend David Wilkerson founded the first Teen Challenge ministry in New York City. David Wilkerson reached out to drug addicts in New York City by proclaiming the gospel message of Jesus Christ. Gang members and prostitutes heard the gospel message and experienced the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Multiple independent studies have shown that approximately 80% of Teen Challenge graduates are successful citizens after completing the Teen Challenge program. Today, there are residential Teen Challenges all across the world. The name of Jesus Christ has been proclaimed for over 60 years through the Teen Challenge ministry. There is over 200 Teen Challenge residential programs in the United States. teenchallengeusa.com
