Thank you for your gifts to TCM. We are grateful for your partnership in equipping Eastern Europeans and Central Asians to reach their own people for Christ. Here are short stories from TCMI Institute students sharing how their lives have been transformed by the training received at the TCMI Institute and a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Ioan from Moldova

First of all, I would like to thank you for the support you are offering me, which enables me to continue my preparation for the ministry. What I have learnt at TCM was and is of great value for me, because professors and students at courses are always dedicated and eager to learn and prepare more. At this moment, my main ministry is being a pastor-teacher in our church and my main responsibility is preaching. I am also a leader of a group of non-Christian students, where I try to help them to give their lives to Jesus. I also prepare new leaders for our church.

Pavel from Czech Republic 

I began men’s ministry by weekend retreat in mountains. We could share with each other, study and pray together. I am encourage from these men who want to follow Christ even if some of them do not live in easy situations. I can see their growth toward maturity. I was invited for another men’s retreat with Ostrava fellowship. They asked me to teach about mans spirituality. My main challenge was to follow Christ faithfully in real world. We practically spoke about real life situation and how to deal with them. It was very good time with them. 

Student from Central Asia

Youth ministry in my country is going well – there are weekly meetings on Friday. Please pray for the youth! Lord is blessing us with such young people. Many of them have unbeliever parents, who do not like that they attend to the church! You understand, that they come from Muslim background. Mostly they are first generation Christians. They are our hope and potential for the future ministry, future  leadership,  etc...

A seminar for children's workers was held in January. A second seminar was held for the leaders from south region at the end of 2007. Please pray for them! In South region people are more strict in their religion, traditions, and culture. But the Lord is bringing people to salvation  here more than in the north.  So please  pray for South  leaders!

A separate seminar was held in late 2007 for our northern students. Thanks for prayers!
