“Lost & Found” is associated
with Teen Challenge Interna-

Teen Challenge began in
1958 as a ministry to teenage
gangs and was started by David
Wilkerson in New York City.
Since that time it has spread all
over the world.
Teen Challenge of West
Texas began in 1971 when the
film, “The Cross and the Switch-
blade,” came to Odessa. Chris-
tian, godly, men who had a desire
to reach people moved a trailer to
the back of the theater. After each
showing, there was an invitation
given which resulted in men and
boys coming to the trailer for
salivation and prayer. As more
and more people came to the
trailer, there was the realization
of a need that had to be fulfilled.
This became the embryonic stage
of the ministry ofTeen Challenge
of West Texas.
Teen Challenge has grown
from 12 students to around 62
men in the Midland area.
The purpose of Teen Chal-
lenge is to evangelize people who
have life controlling problems
and initiate the Christian disciple-
ship training to the point where
theSndividual can function as a
Christian in society, applying
spiritually motivated, Biblical
principles to relationships in the
family, locak church, chosen vo-
cation and community.
