Dyllan

My name is Dyllan and I come from Leeds. I was told about a 2nd chance for me to sort my life out in Teen Challenge Rehab centre in Wales. I had been addicted to various drugs for 15 years. I tried all the programmes without success.

God has done a marvellous work in my life, he has renewed my body, mind, spirit and soul. I used to have a passion for the things of this world but now have a passion to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hi I am John and I come from Leeds. I got told about Teen Challenge, about a 2nd chance for me to sort my life out in Challenge House in Wales. I was on a roller coaster ride to hell with years of drug and alcohol abuse, which nicuded numerous overdoses and kidney failure. But Jeus had other plans for me and He heard my cry for help.

Through the addiction to drug and alcohol my head was in a real mess living from one day to the next but now I have purpose to live.

God has done a marvellous work and continues to do wonderful things in my life; he has kept his promise to restore the relationships with my family. I now have the opportunity to put something back where in the past it was all take. My vision going forwards is to help those less fortunate than me, which involves spending 6 months in Swaziland helping those with H.I.V
