OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIVING
NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Thank you for joining us in prayer this summer during our annual Together We Pray campaign. We are so grateful for your commitment to bringing the requests of our brothers and sisters around the world before our holy God.
This year, we were joined by over 90 churches across America and thousands of individuals around the world as we prayed for TMAI students, graduates, faculty and ministry partners. If you would like to view the prayer requests from that week, you can visit tmai.org/togetherwepray/prayer .
Our ministry would not exist without the faithful prayers of people like you. We praise God for giving us the privilege of prayer and for how we have seen him work through your prayers since TMAI’s inception.
In addition to praying, one way that you can continue to support the ministry of our Training Centers is through your financial support.
As the desire for training grows, our Training Centers are constantly looking for ways to meet that desire. For some of our schools, that looks like purchasing or renovating property to accommodate more students. Others are seeking to translate biblical resources into their native languages to better equip their students and church congregations.
In every case, our Training Centers would not be able to meet the growing demand for training without the generosity of churches like you.
This booklet highlights a few, specific projects from our Training Centers and developing training ministries that are in need of financial support, as well as general funds that help all our training ministries. We ask that you would prayerfully consider giving towards one of these projects.
Thank you for the role that you have already played in supporting training ministries worldwide. We look forward to the ways that we can continue to partner with you for the sake of the gospel of Christ.
Until they all hear,
Mark Tatlock President
