The Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ is a Charismatic Franciscan Religious community. We make public profession of the vows of Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience, and a Promise of Fellowship in the Spirit with all members of our
Institute.

We are a contemplative community with evangelistic apostolates. Prayer and praise are the substance of our lives, through the Liturgy of the Hours, Eucharist, Charismatic prayer meetings, personal and communal prayer, along
with the practice of silence and solitude. Our evangelistic outreaches include Retreats for youth and adults, Children's ministries, Parish missions, Youth ministry, Pre-Confirmation retreats, Foreign missions, Radio ministry and so on. The Church exists to evangelize and so do we.

Jesus said, "If a man wishes to come after Me, he must deny his very self, take up his cross and begin to follow in my footsteps" (Mt. 16:24). We willingly embrace a life of ongoing conversion, in loving commitment to one another.

We were erected as a Religious Institute of Diocesan Right on April 7, 1991 by Most Reverend Leroy T. Matthiesen, the sixth Bishop of Amarillo, Texas. We follow the Rule of the Third Order Regular of Saint Francis of Assisi and
the Constitution of our Institute. Currently we have a motherhouse in Prayer Town, Texas and a mission house in Monterrey, Mexico.

Applicants must be between 18-40 years of age and in good physical and emotional health, with a willingness to follow the Lord wherever He leads, whatever the personal cost.
