The pandemic is resulting in many changes to Adult and Teen Challenge's (ATC) routine. Instead of working their thrift store, going to churches, or even receiving visits from family members, the women in their Brandon residency are staying on their property. 

"They just really are doing amazing work with the help of the Lord."

Kim Lowes, the Director of Women's Ministries for ATC in central Canada, has noticed that while the women in the shelter are feeling the effects of isolation, they are leaning on each other and God to lift their spirits.

"We are celebrating things. We are celebrating every day that we have made it through."

Despite not being able to do any outside programming, ATC is seeing God's work in their home.

"God has got us in all of this. He is sustaining us. No matter what is happening in the outside world, the truth of what happens at Adult and Teen Challenge, the restoration of truth, the restoration of lives, is still happening."
