Vagabond Missions exists to introduce inner-city youth to Jesus Christ and his Church through evangelization, outreach, and community building.  The VM Missionary life is, at its core, relational as it is friendship and discipleship that are the primary conduits of the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the inner-city youth whom Vagabond Missions is privileged to serve.
 We have young people from across the country answer the call to be missionaries in some of the most challenging neighborhoods in our cities.  In many ways, our missionaries leave behind a lot of comforts of familiar life to invest their hearts into teens living in the inner-city. Our missionaries are disciples of Christ themselves - and from that relationship, they step forward to journey alongside teens in their own relationship with Christ.   It is in giving that we receive… and it is in giving of ourselves that our missionaries uncover a radical life in His LOVE.
 
Missionaries report directly to Area Directors for ministry guidance.  Missionaries are stationed at any one of Vagabond Missions’ eight area locations throughout the United States for a minimum, 2 year-long commitment:   Pittsburgh (PA), Steubenville (OH),
Philadelphia (PA), Mobile (AL), Oklahoma City (OK), Wichita (KS), Indianapolis (IN), and Baton Rouge (LA).   Final decisions regarding the stationing of missionaries involves discernment of both the preferences of the missionary as well as the ministry needs of Vagabond Missions at the time.
