Greg & Abigail Dill are graduates of Teen Challenge Bible Institute (1981) and former employees of Teen Challenge of Louisiana, Inc. beginning in 1981. With God’s direction, in September 1987, they founded and incorporated Greater New Orleans Teen Challenge, Inc. in the former Teen Challenge of Louisiana, Inc. building. This location is the heart and soul of the organization, and today it serves as an induction campus for men and the corporate headquarters.
Over the next 35 years, Greater New Orleans Teen Challenge became known as Louisiana Adult & Teen Challenge and has expanded across the entire state with seven campuses, two corporate offices, and three well-established businesses.
Greg and Gail Dill are the incredible parents of three children, two amazing daughters-in-law, and the cutest two grandchildren. With over 40 years in the ministry, it is clear this is God’s calling on their life. Greg and Gail live by the idea of “we get to do this” and lead this ministry with immense love and compassion.
