“We are continually amazed by the unique gifts David brings to our campus. He listens with genuine care, speaks truth with grace, and helps students and families discover hope even in their most difficult moments. His love for Jesus is evident in the way he walks with each young man, bringing clarity where there is confusion and pointing them toward lasting change. David’s creative, Christ-centered mentoring is transforming lives every day!”
— Bryan & Amanda Rule | Directors of Pine Mountain Boys Academy
“Most people know David as a worship pastor, but one of his greatest gifts often goes unnoticed, his ability to build genuine relationships. David has a way of disarming people and loving them in exactly the way they need. In my darkest moments, he was there, not to condemn me or call me out, but to gently show me the path forward. He never labeled me by my mistakes; instead, he lifted me out of them. To me, David is more than a mentor, he’s a true friend.”
— Joel Guttas | Graduate of Teen Challenge
“Pastor David was a true blessing to our family during our son Joel’s time in the Teen Challenge program in Meansville, GA. His selfless volunteering of his time, unwavering dedication, spiritual wisdom, and compassionate guidance played a vital role in his healing and recovery. The truth and love he spoke into our son’s life brought clarity and strength, and we saw a true transformation in a large part because of David’s influence. We are deeply grateful for the impact he made not only on our son, but on all the young men in the program.”
— Mike Guttas | Parent of Former Graduate
“David has been a pivotal person in my life. If it wasn’t for him I would have no place to stay, my soul still lost, and stuck in my bitterness. But thanks to his “yes” to God’s calling to Teen Challenge, he has coached me through many obstacles and helped me overcome my traumas through Christ. If I could describe David in two words it would be “open” and “obedient” to Gods calling over his life...”
— Jackson Brancato | Graduate of Teen Challenge
“David started coming to Teen Challenge while I was in the program. One thing I quickly learned from spending time with him is that he loves people and that when he speaks, you’d better listen closely because he has years of experience to validate what he says. Even though I’ve graduated Teen Challenge and am now a ministry student, he continues to minister to me and continues to help me grow as a leader. He truly is a friend of the Bridegroom!”
— Cruz Cournand | Graduate of Teen Challenge
“David has mentored and helped many young individuals in their discipleship journey. He listens. Bread is broken. The broken heal. Those healed have hope. Hope leads to the Kingdom. The Kingdom multiplies. Jesus is exalted. David is renewed. He connects with another. Another soul is rescued. The rescue is a violent beauty. The beauty is eternal. The eternal is the reward. The reward is the motivation. The motivation is David’s muse. His heart belongs to Jesus Christ. All glory belongs to Him.”
— Kim Pendleton | Admissions Coordinator of Pine Mountain Boys Academy
“Authenticity in ministry is special. Finding leaders with pure intentions, strong faith and courageous boldness is not always easy. However, the Lord has filled David Rosenblum with these abilities and so much more. The Teen Challenge ministry needs leaders who can help those struggling understand what transformation in Christ looks like. I believe the Lord will use David in mighty ways for this ministry and am excited to watch what God does through him.”
— Gary Blackard | President & CEO of Adult & Teen Challenge
