Many of you know that I serve on the district advisory board of Teen Challenge of Oklahoma. Most of you have heard of Teen Challenge, either through The Cross and the Switchblade, or you have been to one of the services when students come and give their testimonies of God's wonderful transforming power in lives that are really messed up. Many don't know, however that there are now four Teen Challenge centers in Oklahoma. The first and best known is the men's program located at Cache, Oklahoma, called Sonrise Ranch. There is an adolescent boys program near Jay, Oklahoma called Brush Creek Ranch, and there is an adolescent girls facility near Disney, Oklahoma, called New Life House. But the newest news is that after years of praying and waiting, Teen Challenge of Oklahoma now offers a facility for women in Sapulpa.
We also have a new state executive director here in Oklahoma. You know that Bill Everitt, who founded Teen Challenge of Oklahoma went to be with the Lord last fall after a battle with cancer. Wayne and Mischa Gray, along with their two boys moved here from Orlando, Florida, where Wayne ran a men's center for many years. We are blessed to have them here in Oklahoma.
Please join me in prayer for Teen Challenge of Oklahoma. They are reaching out in love and changing lives through the life changing power of Christ. They have quite a few financial hurdles ahead, but as we say at Lakeside, "My God will supply all of Teen Challenge's need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
