Campaign Summary
This year has been extraordinary. We faced great challenges and God was faithful every step of the way. Here are a few of the major moments in 2008 and our goals for 2009.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
2008 Milestones.
1. Relocated from Texas to California. In early 2008, we completed the move from Texas to California. We were able to settle our family and establish our home office here in Murrieta.
2. Reached 4,489 troubled teens in four states. Through our testimony and the power of God’s love 910 troubled teens accepted Christ — we give the glory to God.
3. Began work on the new training module. We’re planning to expand our work to prepare others to reach troubled young people so that more can hear the good news.
4. Completed my book, With God All Things Are Possible, The Victor Marx Story. As a way of continuing to connect troubled teens with the wonderful message of God’s love and power, I wrote a book! It’s my story and testimony. My dream is to give a copy of this book to every at-risk kid who hears my message.
5. Began phasing out the Waco Campus. After much prayer and discussion with trusted advisors, we made the tough decision to close the Waco office. The facility cost more to operate than we could fund. Keeping the campus running distracted us from our primary mission as a national evangelistic outreach. We made the choice to stay focused on what we are best at. To maximize our impact and be the best possible stewards of your gifts, we are centralizing and streamlining our operations here in California.
2009 Goals.
1. Prayer. We can’t do this without your prayers. I would like to have at least 100 people praying weekly for troubled teens in America and for our outreach to them. Would you commit to pray once a week for me and our efforts?
2. Preaching. We dream of preaching the Gospel and giving our testimony to incarcerated teens in every single state. So far we have been in 11 different states. We have invitations and opportunities. All we need are friends like you to help fund the events.. With your help, we could go to 10 new states in 2009!
3. Preparing. Time after time, I’m asked to talk to a kid in a church or a youth pastor asks for help reaching neighborhood teens. I can’t be in as many places as I want to be. So I’m developing a 3-Day Training Curriculum to teach others to connect with troubled teens. The first module is nearing completion. I need your help to finish, test and produce it.

Victor Marx
What a powerful tool of ministry you have created in this website!You have my prayers for the precious younger generation behind the walls.
May God Bless this ministry. Thank you Victor for your obedience to the Lord and His faithfulness to you in doing a mighty work for His glory!
I worked behind the walls for 3 years at the Max Custody level and have wanted to work with troubled teens for years. I thought that maybe a gentle ear or someone to just listen to their troubles and maybe give them some advise could help. Many of the fellons that I came across could have possibly been helped if they would have had Christ in their life. May God Bless Mr Marx and all his efforts and I hope to hear from hear in the near future to try and help his Ministry in Colorado.
Victor we are praying for GOD to enlarge your territory and bless you and your beautiful family mightily. We love you and appreciate the heart that GOD has given you for people who are otherwise forgotten and thrown away. To GOD be the glory.
Love you and miss you much,
The Carmouches’
