The Refuge Staff

Amanda Fisher, Executive Assistant

Amanda says, “In January 2013, I moved to Indiana to work for Teen Challenge–my dream job! Someone suggested that I consider Teen Challenge and read The Cross and the Switchblade when they heard about my degree in college. After struggling much of my first year of college with drinking, thoughts of suicide, and being so lost, I ended up getting saved and started my relationship with Christ. One thing I learned while doing an internship was, I never wanted to work at a place where I could not share hope with those I worked with. It is a blessing to be able to restore hope, and joy and share Christ’s love, just as someone did for me during my first year of college.”

Latoya Fleming, Academic Coordinator 

Latoya shares, “I came out of a lifestyle of abuse, drugs, and prostitution, as well as homelessness, and the Lord used Teen Challenge to restore my life. I completed the Teen Challenge program and graduated from Teen Challenge Ministry Institute. Since September of 2020, I have had the privilege to work with women and adolescent girls struggling with addiction and other life-controlling issues and have helped lead them to the freedom that is found only in Jesus Christ.”
