T-Net International (Training Network of Disciplemaking Churches) in partnership with TOPIC (Training of Pastors International Coalition) and BTPC (Basic Training Centre for Pastors) is a catalyst, fulfilling the Great Commission by addressing two strategic, yet complimentary needs:

• Revitalizing and empowering overseas churches for evangelism and discipleship

• Facilitating US churches’ need for hands-on world mission impact.

What We in the West Can Do Empower local churches to finish the Great Commission in their countries and reach out to their neighbors.  Our strategic target is the 2-3 million pastors overseas with no formal training.     T-Net International’s Objectives:

• Healthy Churches – Train pastors to be able to raise up mature Christians and then train other pastors the same skills.

• Stable Churches – Develop self perpetuating Micro Economy module helping people plan and develop their own businesses.
• Sending Churches – Develop self perpetuating Support  Raising module for indigenous missionaries.

How Is The Training Accomplished?

US churches reaping incredible first hand missions exposure by sponsoring and training groups of pastors three times a year for two years. Overseas churches are equipped to make fully devoted Christ followers and reach their country for Christ. Strong overseas churches send highly effective missionaries at a fraction of the cost of Western missionaries.
