Downtown Winnipeg was full of energy last night and it wasn't because of the Jets' game.

It was the Buntain Chapel at Calvary Temple where friends and family filled the room to celebrate the graduation of four men from the program.

Each man shared their personal stories of struggling with addiction and how they found healing through Jesus and with the help of Adult & Teen Challenge.

Two of the graduates are moving into ATC's Surge program. Surge is a leadership program which trains those called to ministry within Adult & Teen Challenge.

And the celebrations will continue for Adult & Teen Challenge of Central Canada.

The women's centre in Brandon will be having a graduation of their own at the end of March, and two more in April.
