We are dedicated to helping people who struggle with life-controlling problems by ministering the love of Jesus and true identity to them. SUCCESS RATE
Since 1969, over 25,000 people have come into the various Mission Teens centers. In our annual review, we hear from about 57% of our graduates and, of those, approximately 87% are doing well. In addition, approximately 40% of the non-graduates we h
ear from are doing well. Many have gone into Christian ministries and some have stayed on to work in our centers.
A DAY AT THE MISSION
We treat each person in our center as a member of the family. Junior and Training staff members teach the "younger" residents. Senior Staff and directors handle the major problems and decisions. Each one is expected to do his or her part to make the "family" run as smoothly as possible. There are 5 1/2 hours of a combination of worship, teaching, bible study, journaling and reading per day. The training amounts to approximately 1 year of ministry school. There is a comprehensive study of the New Testament and a general study of the Old Testament. Our dynamic staff cover a multitude of spiritual topics and teach various classes throughout the year. Our program is non profit and free of charge. Our center is open to both men and women. All we ask is that the person is willing to seek God for the answer to all life's problems and be willing to follow the schedule of the program. Prospective residents should call the Overseer during our business hours M-F 9am - 6pm PDT. A preliminary interview will be done by phone. FUNDING & EXPENSES
Mission Teens, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501 (C) 3 faith ministry. We do not charge for our services, and we do not receive any funding from the government. All of our support comes from concerned individuals and a few churches who are sensitive to the type of work we do. We do not receive any denominational funding (We are non-denominational). Each of our centers is expected to raise its own support from local sources. We do not charge anyone for the services we provide. Our goal is to help people who have life-controlling problems, such as drug or alcohol addictions, by ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. We believe that the Gospel should be free to all. ONCE YOU’VE CALLED
We do require some initial blood tests (and a pregnancy test for women) before accepting a person. The incoming resident is required to have return ticket fare. It is important to know that the program is highly structured and if a person is incapable of adhering to program rules and guidelines they may not be permitted to stay. The return ticket is used in the event that we must ask a person to leave. Any serious health or legal problems should be taken care of before coming into the center. Only emergency medical care will be sought for the person while in the training program, and any medical expenses are the responsibility of the resident. Typically, only non-addictive, non-narcotic medications will be permitted at any center. OUR STAFF
Almost all of our staff are graduates of the discipleship training program. They do not receive any salary, but work as missionaries, giving back their life to serve the Lord by reaching out to others.
