Erica overcame an addiction at Teen Challenge. Combining her innate skills with her personal perspective as both a participant and graduate of the program, Erica now walks alongside women as they journey toward recovery and healing. She is deeply grateful to pour into students’ lives daily.

Hospitalized and on life support from drug use, doctors said Katilyn only had three days to live. But God had other plans. She survived and jumped at the chance to gain lasting sobriety through Teen Challenge. “I had tried secular programs before," Katilyn says, "but something here was different, and better.”
The program helped her realize a crucial truth, that ultimately she is not in control. “The only way to win is to surrender everything to God—my kids, heart, life, and plans.” Now, Katilyn proudly uses her past to help and encourage other women as they seek their own healing and recovery.
