Teen Challenge
International divides its ministry into five phases.
Delmarva Teen Challenge is accredited by the national office
to operate one or more of these phases. The Delmarva Teen
Challenge men's program consists of “Phase III.”
Phase I:
Basic Confrontational Evangelism
The purpose and method of this phase is to conduct
evangelism outreach directly to the people through street
meetings, jail and prison service, help-line, substance
abuse programs, drop-in counseling, literature distribution
and other outreach efforts.
Phase II: Short-term Residential Care, Crisis
Intervention & Referral
Persons with life-controlling problems are provided a place
to stay long enough to meet the immediate crisis, to receive
a clear witness of the gospel, and to evaluate whether they
need or desire the long-term discipleship training offered
by Teen Challenge.
Phase III: Induction This is the beginning of the
discipleship process.
It involves three / four months of Bible Study and character
development. Individuals are provided opportunities to
develop new habits and attitudes. Students graduate from
this phase and go on to phase IV.
Phase IV:
Training Center: The individual is now prepared to start the
nine-month residential phase. The student continues to
develop Christian growth by strengthening attitudes and
habits in commitment, daily living, honesty, responsibility,
and respect. Emphasis is placed on good work habits.
Wholesome relationships with family, the local church and
community are stressed.
Phase V:
Re-entry commonly initiated by another phase, this phase
often involves one or more of the following: temporary
housing, personal and family counseling, assistance in
finding suitable employment and church fellowship.
 If
you are looking for an organization which has a proven track
record of providing life transforming programs which have
been tested over time,
If you
are looking for long-term residential care for yourself or
for a loved one who is struggling with life controlling
issues,
If you
or your loved one need to be separated from the distractions
of the world in a disciplined, warm, loving Christian
environment…
Then Teen
Challenge is for you! The Adult Programs are successful in
assisting individuals to find hope, freedom and lasting joy.
Review the information you find on this web site, take some
time to pray and ask God for guidance, and then if you
believe we can assist you, pick up the phone and give one of
the centers a call. We are here to serve those who are in
need of life transformation.
