During their stay here, they will experience (some for the first time in their lives) a strict schedule, personal structure, accountability to authority, individual mentoring relationships, and one-on-one counseling. They will also participate in Biblically-based Life Skills Training classes along with supervised work details which enable them to learn new patterns of thinking and behavior in personal relationships.

🔥ROOTED | 2026 ELP Summit🔥

What an incredible blessing to be part of the 2026 Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) Summit!

This year’s theme, “Rooted,” was a powerful reminder that before God calls us to greater influence, He calls us to deeper roots. Strong leaders are not built on talent alone. They are built on a firm foundation in Christ!

Fort Myers Teen Challenge was honored to bring 13 interns and students to this year’s summit. Over the past few days, they’ve been challenged, encouraged, equipped, and inspired through powerful worship, fellowship, leadership development, and impactful messages from our Executive Leadership Team.

There’s something special about gathering with men and women passionately pursuing the Lord and seeking His direction for their lives. We watched our students connect with leaders from across the region, grow in confidence, build lasting relationships, and gain a greater vision for what God can do through their lives.

The future is bright when leaders are firmly rooted in God’s Word, grounded in their identity in Christ, committed to serving others and ready to change the world!🌎

Please join us in praying for these men and women as they return home and continue walking out God’s purpose for their lives.

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” — Colossians 2:6-7

IMPORTANT UPDATE! HELP US REBUILD!! 💪

At Fort Myers Teen Challenge, we believe true recovery is holistic… spirit, soul, and body. Every single day, men walk through our doors broken by addiction, hopelessness, trauma, and years of destruction. They are fighting for their lives, families, and their futures.

Our current workout area is old, rusted, broken down, and honestly no longer reflects the dignity these men deserve. We believe they deserve better! 🙏

That’s why we are raising $100,000 to completely renovate and rebuild our men’s workout facility!

A new space where confidence is rebuilt, discipline is developed and where healing continues.

This is bigger than a gym.
This is part of life transformation!❤️

Your generosity is helping ‘Put Hope Within Reach’ for men choosing freedom every single day.

This Sunday we get to celebrate Erich! We are so proud of the diligence, perseverance, and growth he has shown throughout his program at Fort Myers Teen Challenge. He has faithfully done what was asked of him, faced and overcome personal battles with courage, and continued pressing forward in God’s strength.

We are excited to see all that the Lord has in store for his next season as he steps into an internship here in Fort Myers. Erich, your story is a beautiful testimony of God’s faithfulness, and we are cheering you on for all that’s ahead! 🎉🙌🏻

🌍✈️ ANNOUNCING OUR 2026 MEN’S HONDURAS MISSIONS TRIP! 🇭🇳

We are thrilled to announce that a team from Fort Myers Teen Challenge will be traveling to Honduras August 5–12, 2026 to serve, evangelize, build, and disciple—and we are especially excited that our very own Pastor David Hunter will be leading this team.

This mission is about far more than a trip. It is about bringing the hope of Jesus Christ to people in need and partnering with what God is doing in Honduras.

During this mission, our team will:

🤝 Serve through practical acts of kindness, meals, and outreach
✝️ Evangelize by sharing the Gospel and bringing hope to the lost
🔨 Build through construction and renovation projects
📖 Disciple by investing in lives through teaching and encouragement

At Fort Myers Teen Challenge, our mission is to put hope within reach. This trip is an opportunity to extend that mission beyond our local community and into the nations.

We invite you to partner with us through prayer and financial support. Every gift helps make this mission possible and has an eternal impact.
