Genesis Mission Bible Training Center, A Division of Mission Teens Inc.

Our purpose is to provide hope to the hopeless. It is our goal to direct our residents to the Lord Jesus Christ to find love and a purpose for their lives. The discipleship training program is divided into four phases, each lasting two to four months. As the person proves that he/she can handle the increasing responsibilities of each phase, their privileges will increase. It is a highly structured

program with a rigid daily schedule. Everyone is expected to obey the house rules and follow the schedule. Infractions of the rules or schedule are corrected with writing assignments, loss of privileges, or extra work chores. The first phase of the training is a two month induction period with very few privileges or responsibilities. the person is expected to follow the rules and the schedule and begin to understand how to seek the Lord. The next two phases add some general household responsibilities which will add normal life pressures and cause the person to seek the Lord for help. Privileges in these two phases include: phone calls from home and visits from immediate family (and pastoral or legal counsel) only. No friends are allowed to visit or call anyone in the discipleship training program. in the final phase, the person is in "counselor training". They will counsel one resident each day and make a report to the senior staff. They are expected to be a good example in the house and learn to help others as they were helped.
