About

PURPOSE

Teen Missions is a pioneer of the concept of providing short term missions experience for teens with confidence that as young people saw the mission field first-hand, they would see the pressing needs of the world. The first team went out in 1971 and since that time over 42,000 North American youth have assisted with a variety of evangelistic and building projects with over 200 established missions in over 110 countries. We exist to launch youth into lifetime missions involvement by training, discipling and mobilizing them to impact eternity around the world NOW. A large number of our alumni are in full-time Christian ministry serving the Lord worldwide as pastors, teachers, Christian authors and missionaries.

Teen Missions has grown from one base in Merritt Island, Florida to a worldwide ministry with bases in over 25 countries. Each base runs at least one annual short-term mission program similar to the one in the United States, enabling native youth to be able to serve in their own countries.
