Our Mission
Welcome to Arizona’s premiere discipleship program for at-risk teen boys. DMI is one of the very few faith-based programs for troubled youth that offers true one-on-one mentoring and horsemanship with an exposure to the true west of Arizona. We believe in offering the highest standards to the families that we serve. DMI is a 10-month residential program that establishes character in the addicted teens we serve by biblical based teaching. We have been helping families and at risk teens for over 10 years in Flagstaff. We have found that it is a better investment to offer help to the entire family rather than focusing only on the troubled boy that enters our program. Therefore we provide spiritual coaching to the parents so that when the son returns home, they too will be able to further his progress and character of being a young man in today’s society.
We believe in bringing the troubled teen to the foundations and simplicities of the cowboy way of life and the western culture of Arizona through working on ranches with horses, livestock and cowboys. We have found that young men desire the attention that comes from a job well done. We will provide them with opportunities to work hard, whether it be on a working ranch, our ranch, or daily chores. We believe that every young man must learn how to work and receive the reward of having his work affirmed as a job well done. A good work ethic and integrity of Godly principles gives these young men a chance to learn leadership skills through submitting to the authority God has put over them. We have 3 different location of facilities, the ranch, the classroom and the home.
