We want you to understand fully the impact your support has had thus far and the potential for impact your support could bring in the future.<\/p>\n

Our Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mission Generation\u2019s vision is to give students, parents and teachers the tools they need to make quality life decisions based on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit, allowing them to succeed in spirit, soul and body.<\/p>\n

The program is designed to guide students through the lessons in such a way that they discover their purpose. Once purpose is discovered, direction and motivation follow. Good grades and behavior are just a by-product of a life in Christ once young people have encompassed the paradigm of education shifts. School campuses become a body of Christ, where Godly things are openly discussed.<\/p>\n

How It Started\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1995, the founders Rocky and Joske Malloy traveled to Santa Cruz, Bolivia with a calling from God to see entire nations receive the good news of Jesus Christ. In 1996, they started a church and within six months the average weekly attendance had grown to over 1,000.<\/p>\n

However, there was a problem. Rocky felt called to disciple all the nations. At a growth rate of 1,000 people every six months, it was going to take over 500 years just to reach the small country of Bolivia, let alone ALL the nations!<\/p>\n

Rocky began to seek the Lord for a new strategy. God led him to the book of Acts, chapter 19:9-10 where it says that Paul taught the Gospel to ALL of Asia from a school. That was it! The public school system is the largest network of any country because all of society passes through the school system. By teaching Jesus in the public schools, we have the potential to see entire nations transformed!<\/p>\n

In 1999, God opened the door for our first pilot program in the public schools of Bolivia. Since then, Chile, Panama, the United States, Paraguay, Guatemala, Equador and the Netherlands have been sustained through Mission Generation and third-party organizations.<\/p>\n

We are grateful for the growth Mission Generation has seen since its founding!<\/p>\n
