45 years ago a group of ministers had a vision to bring the ministry of Teen Challenge to the great city of Chicago. Together with the help of David and Don Wilkerson, their vision became a reality, and Chicago became the second Teen Challenge center developed in what is now a world wide ministry.

Over the years, thousands of men have been set free from the bondage of drug and alcohol addiction and have gone on to live productive lives because of the ministry of Teen Challenge in Chicago.
