Graduates of Teen Challenge International of Mid-America know that the program works wonders.

They will be singing its praises during a spring banquet Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Show Me Center.

The banquet includes special music by the New Creations, a choir of Teen Challenge students and testimonials from men who have been students at the center. Choir members tour a 17-state region, singing at churches, civic centers and conventions.

There is no cost for the banquet, but guests will be given an opportunity to offer support for the ministry. For more information contact the Teen Challenge at 335-6508.

Teen Challenge was founded more than 40 years ago by David Wilkerson. The Cape Girardeau center is one of 280 worldwide; there are 130 sites in the United States.
