Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The Timothy Initiative believes the best way to fulfill the Great Commission is by making disciples who make disciples and planting churches that plant churches. Through TTI’s training, local leaders equip Christians with the necessary tools, resources, and strategies to reach their nations for Christ. These churches meet in homes, on mountaintops, under trees, and in river beds. We don’t focus on building structures, so it is sustainable, reproducible, and cost-effective.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

TTI exists to advance Christ's Kingdom by mulitplying disciples and disciple-making churches around the world.

We train church planters to plant multiplying churches, which in turn become training centers to continue the mission.

We have seasoned church planters and teachers that train the next generation of church planters to minister effectively in their target areas. They receive 2 years of training and mentoring, during which time they are actively engaging in evangelism and discipleship. They plant a minimum of one church, and train at least two others to do the same. Multiplication is the DNA of TTI, and is passed down to those that work with us.

Thus far, we've seen more than 70,000 churches planted with roughly 43 new churches being established every 24 hours. Over 1,500,000 lives have been transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
