Support Duane's Effort
My name is Duane Avila, and I’m a living testimony of God’s power. I struggled with addiction for over 15 years, and for a long time it felt like there was no way out. But today, by the grace of God, I’ve been clean for 4 years.
When I came into Teen Challenge, everything began to change. God didn’t just take away my addiction—He restored my mind, my family, and my purpose. What I thought was broken beyond repair, He made whole again.
Today, I stand here to say that God is real, He still restores, and recovery is possible. If He can do it for me, He can do it for anyone.
