Know they have decided to stay and shepherd their churches through this difficult time. They’ve told us it’s their “privilege” to do so as they serve Him.
Now’s the Time to Pray for Ukraine
As you’ve probably heard, Russia may soon invade Ukraine. In light of these reports, TMAI’s missionaries in Ukraine have told us that they plan to remain in-country to “help during what could be Ukraine’s greatest time of need.”

Every pastor wants to learn God’s word, but none of them want to have to leave their people—much less their country—to do so. By helping to develop new TMAI schools in new countries, you can help entire congregations to mature right alongside their pastors, week after week.
