Church Partnership


from Your Church to the Nations.

Partner with a TMAI Training Center through prayer and financial support—and make your church’s missions investment count where it matters most.

Maximum Impact. Eternal Return.


We exist to serve the global church.

That’s why we pour into the training of local pastors. We are committed to seeing local churches strengthened and planted around the world by equipping local leaders to exposit God’s Word that they might preach the gospel among their own peoples in the remotest parts of the earth.

Your church can actively partner with TMAI to provide these local leaders with biblical training and resources. Rooted in our common commitment to the Great Commission, we encourage like-minded churches to participate by building relationships with our Training Centers. Not only does this strengthen their ministry for generations to come, but it extends the reach of your local church as fellow gospel workers with the truth.

Invest in our Training Centers through prayer, giving, and encouragement – and multiply your church’s resources for the greatest gospel influence.
