Manuel Villarreal

Hi, my name is Manuel and I’m currently a student at the Ministry Institute of Teen Challenge Southern California. Before coming here and going through the initial program I was lost in my addiction and trapped in the cycle of going in and out of prison. Before I had lost my way as a young adult I knew God had a calling me but I had chosen a different path for myself. God used Teen Challenge as that place where I could heal and find my way back to Him. Now that I’ve come to surrender my life to the calling of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I work hard be equipped through my studies here at TCMI to be effective in the field of outreach to help others like myself. I hope and pray that whoever comes across this would be willing and have the heart to support TCMI by sponsoring me in our annual “Walk For Recovery” fundraiser which goes to keeping the doors open and saving lives.
