I was hopeless and had lost all direction. I had abandoned myself, my loved ones, and God. Even simple tasks felt impossible, and reading His Word seemed out of reach. I want to regain a hunger for God’s Word, renew my mind, and grow a relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit that nothing can break.

I came to ATCOT after losing my mother and several close people in my life within a short period of time. I became depressed and found myself trapped in addiction. I am hoping to rebuild my life, grow stronger in my faith, and return to teaching again.

I came to Adult & Teen Challenge because I want to be myself again. I used to be an upbeat guy happy, with no issues, always ready to help anyone in need. But after many years of feeling run down and depressed, things began to go wrong. Now I’m seeking renewal.

I came here to reconnect with our Lord and become whole again. After years of depression, I lost the will to live and have struggled in many areas of my life. I’m ready to move forward by healing and helping others. I want to become the happy person God created me to be and start a real family. Ultimately, I hope to start a food truck where I can help and feed people who are homeless.

I came to ATCOT because I needed stability and support. I’ve been through a lot growing up, including losing my dad at a young age, and I want to move forward in a better direction. I’m hoping to gain structure, personal growth, and the tools I need to build a better future for myself.

I came here because I am tired of starting over in life. I am sick and tired of always being sick and tired. I believe God’s plan and purpose for my life is greater than the person alcohol has made me. I want to use my experiences and testimony to help others overcome addiction and refocus their lives on Christ. If I can help even one person overcome addiction, I feel that all of my trials and tribulations will have been worth it.

I came to ATCOT to rebuild my relationship with God, and to find forgiveness within myself, with the help from God. I hope to gain the knowledge to help those who are struggling with addiction and to help them understand that Jesus loves them no matter what they have done in the past. I want them to know that He has a place for them in heaven when they come to believe in God and Jesus Christ.

I came here because my life was getting way out of hand, and I knew the next level for me could have been jail or who knows what may have happened. I had lived in darkness most of my life and was enticed by my sinful ways, but God pulled me out of my mess so He could get the glory through what He will do with my life. I am hoping to regain the dignity and identity that the enemy stole from me, and I know I can gain that and more as I continue to trust in Jesus.

I came to ATCOT because I have been struggling to remain clean, and I realized that the more I grow closer to God, the stronger I can be. I hope to spend time reading the Bible, learning how to live by it, and putting what I learn into action.

My life came to a turning point where I had to make a firm decision to follow Christ and invest in the Kingdom of God. By fully committing my walk to Him, I believe the challenges I’ve faced will not be in vain but will become a testimony of His faithfulness that when you surrender and welcome the Holy Spirit, God makes all things possible.
