Our Speaker: Lady Gloria Chassie
A graduate of New Life for Girls and wife to a Youth Challenge of CT, Inc. graduate, Lady Gloria and husband Bishop Duane Chassie attended Youth Challenge International Bible Institute in Sunbury, PA. Under the leadership of Bishop Raúl González, they returned to Hartford, CT in 1981 and became the first directors for the Youth Challenge Mission for Women, a residential facility for women. Lady Gloria is a licensed minister with Youth Challenge International.
In 1984, Lady Gloria and Bishop Duane accepted the commission to open Youth Challenge of Florida, a men’s residential center in Wildwood, Florida. A few years later, they were led to establish a church in Florida, Glory Chapel Cathedral, where they currently serve as the pastors.
Lady Gloria has been married for 34 years and is a mother, grandmother, and a great grandmother to a beautiful family that is a testament to God’s sustaining power.
Join us and celebrate the transformative impact Youth Challenge has had in the lives
of men, women and their families into the third and fourth generation.

Youth Challenge Community Day
December 3, 2011 was Community Day at Youth Challenge and we had over 50 volunteers working together at all the properties in Hartford. The day was a huge success and without the support and collaboration of these volunteers we could not accomplish so much. We are truly grateful! On behalf of the students, staff and board of directors of Youth Challenge, we want to thank all the volunteers from Urban Alliance, Valley Community Baptist Church, Hartford Job Corps and South Central New England Regional Urban Ministry Network (SCNE RUMNet) for their hard work. Also a special thanks for the contributions from Woodland Pizza, Star Hardware and Dave Toor, a local Hartford business owner. Keep checking the website for future events.

The testimonies and thankfulness of graduates, friends and family inspired all those in attendance to join in the celebration of God’s saving grace.
The Rev. Hernán Alamo was honored as the Alumni of the year for his dedicated service to the Lord and his work in the Youth Challenge ministry. Pastor Jason Alvarez of Love of Jesus Family Church rounded out the evening with a stirring message of encouragement and motivation. The energy from the evening has not fizzled, but continues to carry us into this year, as Youth Challenge of CT moves forward to a new level in the ministry to help the lost and broken.
We encourage you to join with the Youth Challenge Alumni, Seed, Staff and Students in proclaiming “Moving Forward to Help the Hurting ” in 2012!
