We are so proud of Jeremy Phelps, who graduated from Teen Challenge today. Jeremy is a long-time friend who we first became acquainted with while living in Georgia. His sister, Kristen was attending our youth ministry there and asked me to visit her brother who had been arrested. When I showed up the next morning, Jeremy had just prayed and asked God to send him a sign that He loved him and would answer his prayer. We prayed together, he rededicated his life to the Lord and began attending our youth group.
From there, Jeremy went through our Master's Commission program in Atlanta, accompanied us to Romania on one of our mission trips there and really felt a calling to that country. Over time, he backslid and allowed drugs to get a stronghold on his life. Last year he called me about the Teen Challenge program here and God opened a door for him to go through the program. I am so proud of him. It's been awesome to watch God move in his life. This summer he will do a three month internship at our Master's Commission School in Romania! God's calling is truly irrevocable!
