Since its inception in 2001, Teenhopeline has strived to reach out to hurting teenagers and young adults in ways that are relevant to them. Through a state of the art one-on-one chat system that has been donated to us by Talisma, we provide a safe place for students to talk to an anonymous person and get help and advice for whatever situation they are facing. Teenhopeline.com has reached out to hundreds of thousands of students since it first started six years ago. In 2007 alone, we talked to 55,000 students preventing upwards of 10,000 suicides and seeing approximately 7,000 students come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through the one-on-one chat and the alter ministry of Seventh Day Slumber. Our staff is trained to deal with most any issue that they are faced with in a chat conversation and we are required to report the most serious cases (suicide and all forms of abuse). We feel that God has called us to be the direct line of hope for the lost and hurting and we look forward to what God has in store for this ministry. Each year we wish to increase the amount of students we are able to reach with a message of hope.

Hours of operation:

An online forum is another way that we reach out to students. These forums become communities where students can discuss current issues, get advice from our staff who moderate the forums, find accountability from one another in their issues and build friendships with people all over the world. It is a fun and comfortable way to talk to others about serious issues, but also discuss lighter topics and have a cool place to hang out. The moderators make sure that the content being discussed is appropriate in nature and that the discussions are uplifting, not discouraging.

Our chat, much like our forums, is a place where students can hang out and chat in real time with other students from all over North America and beyond. When the chat site is moderated by our staff it is open for discussion about whatever random topics are desired whether serious or just fun. When the chat is not moderated the students can message one another one-on-one to discuss whatever is on their minds. As with the forums, through moderation we ensure that the content being discussed is appropriate in nature and that the discussions are uplifting, not discouraging.

Another important way that we reach out to our culture is by meeting students at the alter at Seventh Day Slumber concerts all around North America. Joseph shares his story after every concert of how he came through a life of drugs and depression while being raised by a single mom who did everything that she could to share the love of God with her sons and raise them without welfare. By age 21, Joseph had a $400 a day cocaine addiction and had stolen from his mother to the point where she had to file for bankruptcy. He saw the pain he was causing and knew the pain that he was carrying and decided it would be best if he was gone and attempted to take his life with a lethal dose of cocaine. His mother found him as he had a heart attack and collapsed into her arms. She called the ambulance and on his way to the hospital he cried out to God asking that if God could use him to spare him and give him vision. God did so and Joseph has taken every opportunity he can to allow God to use him to touch those in as dark of places as he came from. Since Seventh Day Slumber started in 1996 the band, whose main focus has been and continues to be ministry first, has seen 70,000 kids come to the alter crying out to God to come in and change their lives. Teenhopeline, Inc. has now partnered with Seventh Day Slumber to ensure that those who come to the alter do not fall through the cracks when they head back to their day-to-day life. Through follow up forms and email contact and partnership with local youth groups and churches, we strive to find safe places for those who made decisions to continue growing closer to God by finding discipleship and accountability in a local church body.

Teenhopeline Inc. strives to impact our culture through relevant music, powerful testimonies and insight for today's generation.

Teenhopeline Inc.'s radio ministry is a two part ministry. We have a 24/7 cyber radio station broadcasting from hopeinanguish.com, and also a two hour syndicated broadcast show that airs on FM stations across North America and beyond. The cyber station is a revolutionary station designed to reach teens and young adults. Our main listening demographic ranges from ages 12 to 25 with a monthly listening base of 10,000 to 12,000 teens a month. We also air our nationally syndicated radio show which tactfully faces issues that are prevalent in youth culture today through honest dialogue. The show is hosted by Teenhopeline, Inc.'s President Joseph Rojas. Joseph came to Christ in the back of an ambulance after suffering a heart attack from a drug overdose. He went from a life of drugs and crime to a life and passion to reach hurting people through Christ.

Teenhopeline Inc. desires to provide teenagers with web resources that aid in their spiritual growth. Topical Bible verses, knowing God, witnessing tools and links are provided right here at teenhopeline.com.
