FAITHFUL (adjective)" "...continuing to support someone despite difficult circumstances; continuing to do or believe something.  The faithful:  the people who support someone or something;  people believing in religion."

At Springboard, our ministry to girls ages 12 to 17 is dependent upon two things:  (1) the Lord who gives us the strength, wisdom and ability; and (2) you, the generous individuals who continue to support us despite the difficult economic times we face.  Addiction does not know when the economy is strong or when we are in a recession.  The abused and neglected teen girl does not know the impact of a low stock market or record foreclosues.  What she does know is that she is in crisis and without help, she could lose the most precious thing she has... her very life.

The young people in our country are one of the most precious resources we have, but we are losing them at an incredible rate to drugs, gangs, suicide and the streets.  Every day of our three to five-month program, the girls and their families are provided with the counseling, curriculum and the ministry they need to become healthy, whole and complete.

This year, Teen Challenge of Arizona is celebrating 45 years of faithful ministry to men, women and teens that are addicted, abused and hurting.  Without the faithfulness of the faithful, we wouldn't be able to do this.  Thank you for your faithfulness.
