Their time proven 12-month training course boasts the world's highest addiction rehabilitation success ratio. Teen Challenge Pakistan is an extension of this global organization.
Since the inception of TCP, the founders of Harvest Field Corners has partnered with TCP in developing vocational training programs that prepares rehabilitated students for workplace re-entry. This started as a vocational training and Micro-Loan program providing the capital for students to obtain a business startup loan. This critical need expanded into a separately funded comprehensive AfterCare Program, providing family counseling, vocational mentoring, monthly alumni meetings, and much more. This post student Aftercare Program has saved several men from relapsing back into drug addiction. Harvest Field Corners provides 100% of the funding for this effective Aftercare Program at a 7/07-6/08 budget of $500 per month.

Prayer Is More Important Than Money
Biblical Discipleship & Stewardship training becomes an awesome challenge in mature strongholds [both spiritual & cultural] not honoring Jesus. Pray for the recipients of HFC finances, as these types of endeavors not bathed in adequate prayer come to naught. Pray that God will give HFC and our Partners, safety, wisdom, adequate resources, and discernment in the distribution of HFC funds. We welcome inquires and contributions and are in need of more USA volunteers.
