Teen Challenge Columbus
Girls Academy Announces
October 2010 Graduation

Teen Challenge Columbus Girls Academy has the honor of announcing four October graduates. We were blessed to have in attendance Teen Challenge students, staff, and families. Also attending were several board members, a guest youth pastor from World Changers Church, representatives from Global Teen Challenge Headquarters and Directors from Russia Teen Challenge. Thank you for sharing this special day with us and witnessing with us the beautiful testimonies of each of our October graduates.

All graduates received a completion certificate recognizing their completion of the Teen Challenge Program as well a certificate acknowledging their achievements in our Bible/Life Skills Curriculum, PSNCs. One graduate also had the reward of being presented with her high school diploma on graduation day; two others will earn their high school diploma before they complete their internship. Three of our October graduates have enrolled in our Emerging Leaders program and will be serving our students in an intern capacity, working alongside the staff. One graduate will be returning home to complete high school and intern at her church with youth.

In addition to the testimonies and presentations, the Columbus Teen Challenge choir performed "Thou O Lord." Our talented graduates performed a beautiful human video/drama that they put together to the song "He Wants it All" by Forever Jones. The closing remarks were given by Dave Batty, Chief Operating Officer of Global Teen Challenge.

What we have seen develop in our October graduates is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. It required integrity, commitment, an honest transparency and willingness to grow to complete this task. We are proud of our October graduates, job well done. We know that this is only the beginning.
