Developing Christian Leaders for Significant Service

TCM students serve in heroic ways, often in difficult circumstances with meager financial resources. They are asking for training to serve more effectively, utilizing what they do have: national networks, language, and cross-cultural influences, proven track records of service, bi-vocations, self-support, and a lifetime commitment to their countries. They bring experience from their backgrounds serving in areas such as the medical field, ministry, education, business, social services, engineering, and IT. They are leaders already positioned to serve in their countries, churches, and cultures. TCM helps provide the competence, confidence, and credentialing to serve even better.
