Our International Bible Training is a reproducible resource that allows missionaries to easily develop local training programs for church planters.
The greatest impact Western missionaries and churches can have in the world is through the strategic and effective training of church planters. There has never been a greater need for culturally-relevant, biblically-based resources for church planters.
Tentmakers Bible Mission is committed to developing quality training resources for missionaries and local pastors involved in training church planters and cross-cultural missionaries.

Storytelling is an important part of communication in every culture. In Peru, carved gourds like this are used to tell stories. These "story gourds" have progressing pictures that reveal key parts of a story as the gourd is turned. Our training is designed to adapt both content of teaching material and style of teaching in order to more effectively communicate the most important story to those church planters in different cultures.
Our initial vision for training church planters is to begin training programs in five mission fields where TBM missionaries are or will soon be ministering. These five fields also happen to be on five different continents.
While these materials will have a larger impact through many organizations, the primary reason behind the development of our international Bible training is to resource our own TBM missionaries.
