Our Core Values - International VersionTime has been taken in this book to define in detail the TC core values as a model for any TC program around the world. Dr. Nance has carefully presented the principles and practical truth surrounding each of the core values in such a way that they can be applied to any TC context. Questions have been included at the end of each chapter for evaluation and reflection. There are also many insightful thoughts from experienced Teen Challenge Directors as to what each value means to them.
This book was written to be a part of the Teen Challenge staff training program (called Emerging Leaders Program) for the Teen Challenge (TC) centers in Florida/Georgia, USA. While preparing this training program for their Directors and staff the TC leadership of Florida/Georgia realized that there was a need to define, in length, the core values of the TC ministry. Out of this process seven core values were defined.
Soon after this book was published, TC staff in other centers in the USA and around the world expressed interest in using this book in their ministries. Consequently this international edition of the book has been prepared.
