Brenham Center Director

Jonathan Mitchell Brenham Men’s Director I was born in New Iberia, Louisiana. My father was in the military, so from birth throughout my young adolescence years my family moved several times. We returned to our home state of Louisiana after my father retired from the Navy in the mid 70’s. I graduated high school, and attended McNeese State University on a football scholarship, where I majored in business administration. I played two years of professional football and later attended the State of Louisiana Law Enforcement Academy. I received a state commission and worked as a narcotics agent for several years before I resigned. I entered Adult & Teen Challenge of Texas in February of 2000. On February 28, 2000, I received Christ as my Lord and Savior.  Several days later I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, at which time I knew that my life had been changed forever.  I completed the program in March of 2001 and completed an internship a year later.  I then went to work for Cardell Cabinetry and became a production manager and worked there until 2007.  In 2009 I returned to Teen Challenge of Texas as a general staff member in the admissions department and over the past five years I have worked at several different department head positions at the San Antonio men’s campus while receiving several training certificates through Teen Challenge. In September of 2014 I transferred to the Brenham men’s campus as the program coordinator to assist in the birthing of our 3rd phase-re-entry program. On January 1st of 2015 I become the campus Director of the Brenham program. I am currently in the process of acquiring my ministerial credentials through Global University. My lovely wife, Mary and I met some 13 years ago at 1st Assembly of God in San Antonio, Texas, and confirmed our love for one another with the exchanging of wedding vows before God and man on April 11, 2009. We have one son, three daughters, and one grandson. We consider it a privilege and an honor to serve our Lord and to be instruments used by Him in the process of transforming the lives of men that were without Hope. jonathan.mitchell@tctexas.org
