Almost all of our staff are graduates of the discipleship training program.  They do not receive any salary, but work as missionaries, giving back their life to serve the Lord by reaching out to others.  The Assistant Executive Directors at each center work directly with the Executive Director to train the staff, oversee the general condition of the buildings and raise the necessary support, as well as teach, counsel, etc.  Each center also has an Overseer who is in charge of daily operations.  Anyone seeking admission into a center needs to call the Program Overseer at that center.
