text: My friend “Papa” Troy Collier, founded Youth Challenge, that works like 85% of the time.  See http://www.youthchallengehope.org  Papa died two years ago, but his ministry continues.  He sends his charges somewhere in Pennsylvania after their initial intake.  His methodology is Christ-based in prayer, which is why it works.  Jesus is the alternative strong enough to take on the opioid crisis.  His ministry is a proven track record of over thirty years.  Based in Newport News, Virginia, t is worth checking out.
  
  “and to send them (Youth Challenge) to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, who have dedicated their lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (Acts 15:25-26).  Recognizing Youth Challenge, “I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Lord” (Psalm 57:10a).  Always remember, “that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you” (John 15:16).
