They then both graduated from Central Bible College in 1989. From there, the Lord led them to establish Long Island Teen Challenge. Their passion to restore broken lives has inspired thousands of men, ladies and children to have faith in God, to embrace their purpose and fulfill their God-given calling for their lives.

Jessica Mclean is a passionate singer, songwriter and musician who longs to be open and honest about her own struggles and experiences.  Jessica learned to play the guitar at thirteen years old and began writing songs after receiving a call from God to share her experiences and testimony as an encouragement to others.  Through worship, Jessica learned how to truly connect and have a relationship with God.  That connection is where Jessica finds the inspiration for her music mission.

             Jessica’s mission is to tell the world who Jesus is and how much He loves them.  Jessica especially has a heart for young girls who are struggling with the pressures to fit into this world.  “My dream to spread the love of God through music is coming true and I want to encourage every person, young and old, to seek God’s will for their lives.  If you give the Lord your heart, He will allow you to live your dreams, shine like stars, and carry the light into the darkness.”
