“If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.” – Matthew 16:24,25

The people listed on this page are the “official” staff of Christian Challenge. However, as with any body of believers, Challenge could not run without everyone contributing, especially in the area of leadership. If you would like to be involved in various areas of leadership, check out our Leadership page or contact any of the staff. WE NEED YOU!!
