In order to keep our resources affordable for the poor, we must find sponsors to cover the gap between what we charge them, and what it costs us to produce our materials. We need 1,200 individual partners to commit to give $600 per year ($50 per month). These funds enable us to train indigenous church planters and pastors who will plant and lead churches that transform their communities.
The Problem
|
The Solution
|
| The way we train workers is too expensive, too long, and hard to access. |
The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) |
| "The harvest is great, but the laborers are few" (Matt. 9.37) |
Since 1995 TUMI has equipped leaders for the church, especially among the poor, to advance God's Kingdom. |
- The number of unreached people at home and abroad is astronomical.
- Many countries forbid foreign missionaries or missionary activity.
- 95% of the world's pastors receive inadequate Bible training.
- America's mass incarceration system produces high recidivism and broken familieis.
- US seminaries deploy few Christian workers to America's inner cities or prison systems.
- Urban pastors are shut out of traditional leadership training.
|
- We offer seminary-level leadership programs in prisons, America's inner cities, and 17 countries (over 250 satellites), all affordable and relevant to cultural context.
- We make discipleship curriculum available to the poor in numerous languages around the world.
- We collaborate with ministry partners from varoius denominations and traditions.
- Our prisoner training impacts families (70% restored) and society (6% recidivism).
- We train indigenous leaders to plant churches and pastor new congreations in places traditional missionaries never go.
