Inspirational Video #3: Challenge Day

These powerful clips of an Emmy-award-winning documentary are from an inspirational video which depicts the amazing Challenge Day story. Challenge Day has transformed the lives of countless teenagers and even entire schools across North America. Thousands of testimonials every year describe in glowing words how this one-day program dramatically improves teenagers' lives. Some had even been contemplating suicide before Challenge Day, yet now see meaning and real possibilities in their lives. Because of this most empowering work, the transformational Challenge Day program has even been featured several times on the Oprah Show.

Challenge Day is a one-day program offered in hundreds of high schools and junior highs every year which opens students to seeing their common humanity in a way that is simply miraculous. It is not uncommon by the end of the day to find rival gang members hugging each other and saying I'm sorry, even with tears in their eyes. "I am truly sorry to the millions of people I have picked on," commented a former school bully as he hugged a gangly boy he had tormented for several years. Watch either the 4-minute or the 15-minute clip of this video and see if you aren't moved and inspired by this life-changing program.
