We are located in the beautiful city of Louisville, KY. Wanna learn more about this city? Check this out!

Our young adult urban missionaries are taught through a variety of sources including: LTN’s handbook, training specifically related to your Service Site, Safety and Street Smart training, one week of orientation, weekly training sessions throughout your term and ongoing support from the Program Staff, Alumni and your church.

Love Thy Neighborhood has several terms available. We accept applications on a rolling basis.

For our LTN Institute urban missionaries, you can either stay on your current health insurance plan or sign-up to be on Medicaid health insurance. Health insurance is not available through LTN for any young adult urban missionaries serving with us. However, all LTN Institute & LTN Intensive urban missionaries are required to have health insurance.

All applicants have the opportunity to share their service site preferences during the admissions process. Urban missionaries are placed based on their preferences, skill assessments, needs of our Service Site Partners, team formation and dynamics. Lots of prayer goes into this decision.

Please contact us and we can set-up a time for you to visit. You can contact our Program Director, Anna Johnson.

LTN Institute & LTN Intensive urban missionaries are provided with a significant amount of time away and flexibility.

• LTN Intensive urban missionaries are provided with 3 floating days off that they may use as desired.
• LTN Institute urban missionaries are provided with 7 floating days off that they may use as desired as well as 12 days away around Christmas.
• Mondays are ALWAYS Sabbath days and yours for rest and rejuvenation! Absolutely NO program responsibilities that day!

LTN uses Collaborative Funding to care for those that serve. Our unique approach to funding allows people from all walks of life and financial backgrounds to participate in urban missions. This approach ensures that your fully-furnished housing, groceries, in-town transportation and living allowance will all be covered. Our urban missionaries all support each other by generously compiling the money they raise into one pile to care for each other.

The cost for the LTN Institute year is $11,900. The cost for the LTN Intensive summer is $3,900. Every urban missionary is guided step by step through the fundraising process – making raising funds achievable even for a fundraising novice. Our staff provides a fundraising guide, ideas, resources, and encouragement for this process, walking with you from start to finish. The LTN Institute & LTN Intensive urban missionaries work together to raise enough funds to meet all needs collectively. There are no additional financial responsibilities during your time of service. Donations cover housing, utilities, groceries, transportation within the city, curriculum, program expenses and a monthly stipend.

If you have questions about support raising contact our Program Director Anna Johnson.

Definitely! Just call us or write Anna Johnson to set-up a date to visit.
