Lighthouse Mission

Each day our team from Adult & Teen Challenge prepares and serves over 600 meals for the Lighthouse Mission. This provides a great environment of trust and respect and we are able to ministry, pray and help the community there. We have seen many lives like Charlotte’s impacted, and are honoured to be apart of this ministry.

Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

1 John 3:18

Charlotte's Story

My life was out of control because drugs brought me to my darkest and lowest moments, becoming a meaningless black hole. I used to go to Lighthouse Mission a lot and one day I climbed up onto the roof to get some sleep. As I sat there, a fellow from the mission came up to speak with me. He was able to encourage and pray for me. He told me there was hope and how Adult & Teen Challenge could help. We came off the roof and soon I was on my way to Brandon.

The moment I walked through the door, I knew I was taking a huge step to a better life. The journey has not been easy but God is teaching me to trust in Him as He truly loves me. I just graduated from the program and have started the SURGE leadership training. I am not sure what my future holds but if I keep walking toward Jesus, I don’t need to fear for He is with me all the way!

The Lighthouse Mission located in the heart of Winnipeg, continues to meet crisis needs when they arise. They believe a person is created both physical and spiritual and strive to meet those needs. With over a century of service, the Mission provides over 600 daily meals, along with hampers, small group support, and prayer those in need.

When I was introduced to crystal meth my life spiralled completely out of control and sadly this went on for years before I finally came to the end of myself and knew I needed help. I entered the Adult & Teen Challenge Manitoba Women’s Campus and everything changed. God met me there and showed me a new meaning and purpose for my life.

At age 13, I experimented with ecstasy, marijuana and alcohol. I felt worthless and hopeless and the next 17 years my drug use escalated into crack cocaine and fentanyl. I had been charged with many criminal offences and my lawyer told me about Adult & Teen Challenge. I was accepted to Thunder Bay men’s program and a month later I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and was baptised. I have learned how God loves me and has a plan for my life, discovering my true identity in Christ. He healed me, giving me joy, peace and purpose.

Before I entered the Adult & Teen Challenge program I used and sold drugs. I was a violent person and did things that landed me in jail. I believed I was coming to the end of myself with my only options being death by drugs, violence or spending the rest of my life in jail. But God had a different plan. During my last time in jail I committed the next year to ATC because of the love of my family and Robby Ahuja. Getting to know Jesus has changed my life. Slowly but surely he is growing inside me. I sing and I dance because He lives in my heart. Now I have love and forgiveness and am committed for life
