Daniel Blackwell

Hello, my name is Daniel and I’m twenty-two years old.  I’ve been saved by the grace of God, but I haven’t always walked this path.  Before coming to Teen Challenge, I was addicted to pain pills and alcohol.  My life was going nowhere fast.  Between incarcerations and rehabs, I was wrapped up in a life of sin.  Teen Challenge opened my eyes and my heart up to Jesus Christ who came and died for my sins, so that I may live in eternity with Him.  I recently gave my life over to Him after returning to Teen Challenge.  Initially, I was unwilling to change my ways and was ultimately kicked out of the program.  Now I’m back with a new outlook on life and living for my Savior, who rescued me from a deep, dark place.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  My future is looking bright and I’m happy to say, “I am redeemed!”
