Ray and Carol Boltz (yes, that Ray Boltz) were huge supporters of Teen Mania in the 1990s. Their four children went on a combined 12 mission trips with Teen Mania, one graduated from the Honor Academy, they regularly hosted the ministry team in their home, and volunteered in Garden Valley and Miami (way back in the day!).
I remember back at the very first Day One Event in Michigan (Teen Mania’s first HUGE stadium event), my job was to take care of the VIPs, including Ray Boltz and his band. I spent a lot of time hanging out with his band in the green room between sets and they were some really neat people who were enthralled with what Teen Mania was doing.
In the aftermath of the MSNBC documentary, Carol Boltz shares on her blog how Teen Mania has impacted her family.
The fact that Carol finds Teen Mania a dangerous place after all of her and her family’s involvement with Teen Mania over a period of many years should cause great concern to anyone considering sending their child on a Global Expeditions Mission Trip or to the Honor Academy program.
