Tim Bisagno is the founder of MXTV.
He grew up in Houston TX, the son of a prominent pastor.
Tim took the traditional path of acquiring a classic ministry-education by graduating from Baylor University, and attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, but his heart was not in it.
Calling and mission.
Still feeling a call to ministry, he used drugs and alcohol to unsuccessfully quieten his calling. Humbled, Tim discovered his desperate need for God. As a result, Tim not only grew in knowing Jesus, but also grew a deep desire to make Him known.
Then, Tim studied sanctification at the L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland for one year. Returning to Texas, he completed a Discipleship Training School and a School of Evangelism through Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Following his call, he then served with YWAM in Amsterdam, Holland for three years.
“Speaking their language”
Tim longed to see a ministry that would reach young people and could effectively speak their “cultural language.” So in 1992 while in Amsterdam, he founded his evangelistic rock band “The Friendlys” – which later evolved into a TV show.
MXTV
Tim was ordained into ministry in 1994. Continuing to reach the global youth culture, he founded “Mission X Mission Inc” – a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry. Within a few years M X T V (Mission X Television) was born.
M X T V is a weekly 30 minutes evangelistic TV program offering an eclectic menu of music videos, short films and relevant teaching.
aSafePlaceOnline
In January of 2020, Tim founded “A Safe Place Online.” Through a 24/7 live chat and text service, aSafePlaceOnline is a nonjudgmental place for hurting young people to come, share, and hear about the saving grace of Jesus. aSafePlaceOnline.com

Desire
“As creator of MXTV and aSafePlaceOnline and StandUpDude – It’s my desire to see these ministries be the best evangelistic communication tools on TV and Internet reaching unchurched young adults between the ages of 15-30.
With God’s help, M X T V and aSafePlaceOnline will make an unprecedented Kingdom-impact upon this Media Generation by effectively presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ in today’s language, resulting in their salvation.” – Tim
