A RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF GOD

I am so excited that you have taken the time to discover what it means to passionately pursue God. For the past 25

years God has favored us with incredible growth and enormous opportunities. Teen Mania has been diligently working to touch

the hearts of a young generation. We are convinced that your life cannot only save this broken, hurting and searching

generation, but permanently change the outcome of America for generations. The Honor Academy offers

an intense opportunity to relentlessly pursue God and passionately pursue the people He loves. For

365 days you will embark on an intense spiritual journey of growth in Christ and be apart of a revolution to take back your generation for Christ!

We have seen over 5,000 graduates of the Honor Academy make the choice to live a life of passionately pursuing Christ and making their lives count for something great... something eternal. Over the last 25 years we have seen God awaken a desire in hearts that pushes us to take action to impact a generation. If you want to live a life of passion for Christ, I encourage you to pray about whether the Honor Academy is a place for you. A place to link arms with others from your generation for a 365 day journey or, should we say, a relentless pursuit. I look forward to meeting you on campus.

Consumed By the Call,

Ron Luce

Founder & President

WHAT NATIONAL LEADERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US

› Josh McDowell“If you removed Teen Mania from the body of Christ in the last 15 years, there would be one huge vacuum in the lives of so many young people in the area of their walk with Christ, discipleship, and their concept of world missions.”

› Mike Bickle“It is remarkable what the Lord has done through you. I believe that the team that has come together under Ron’s leadership is making an impact in America on young people that you cannot measure.”

› John Maxwell“One of the most satisfying relationships I have today is coming alongside and serving with Teen Mania. For years you have been making a difference in the lives of kids, and it’s just a joy to be a little part of the team.”

› Joyce Meyer “Teen Mania is a vital ministry, changing multitudes of young people’s lives. Ron Luce’s impassioned call to youth challenges them to live a life that counts; one that is consumed with the cause of Christ.”

› John Bevere“I really believe that God is blessing this ministry and raising up this ministry to be even more effective in the days to come. I just want to thank God here publicly for Teen Mania. We’re just grateful and we’re honored to be friends and lend any strength to them.”

› K.P. Yohannan“One of the greatest challenges for us today as the body of Christ is to somehow touch the lives of young people—they are our hope. Thank you for the way you’ve invested your lives to touch thousands of these young people. So many of their lives are so radically changed and they continue to walk with the Lord.”
