To be a Vagabond is to be bold, to be real, to be a part of a community committed to loving and serving the forgotten. Do you sense the call to be a Vagabond Missionary?

Rooted in Mission

Inner-city teens confront a cycle of neglect, violence, and broken family life. Vagabond Missions introduces them to Jesus and a loving community by sending out missionaries. Through outreach, every inner-city teen can be known, loved, and experience hope for their lives. For some, for the first time in their young lives.

Win Souls

Having previously worked with FOCUS, Santonio realized he wanted to share the gospel with those on the margins. He found a home with Vagabond and now helps lead the recruitment effort to draw others to the mission.

Live Freely

When Mary stepped out in faith to become a missionary, she wasn’t sure what to expect. Surprisingly, she experienced a freedom in Christ that was the result of living in community and learning how to let go of less important demands. Through daily prayer and Mass, Mary finds abundant grace and strength to bring the joy of Christ to all of those she encounters through the mission.

Proclaim the Gospel

Nothing is won unless souls are won. Convicted to proclaim Christ crucified, Andy oversees our missionary teams to ensure the gritty and authentic Gospel is not only proclaimed but lived out in the daily lives of our missionary staff.
