Who are National Missionary Partners and What Do They Do?

National Missionary Partners (NMPs) are indigenous pastors and ministry leaders who, with training and financial support from Timothy Two Project International, are sent to teach Timothy Two workshops to pastors and ministry leaders in other cities within their own countries and neighboring countries.

What are the Benefits of Training and Sending NMPs?

There are several benefits to sending NMPs to teach Timothy Two workshops…

• Cost – it is less expensive than sending someone from the USA, only an average of $600 per workshop to train 10 or more pastors
• Language – they already know the language so an interpreter is not needed
• Contextualization and Application – they already know the people and the culture so the teaching and the application is properly contextualized

How Many Pastors and Ministry Leaders have they Trained?

To date, NMPs have trained 324 church leaders in 74 workshops in 10 nations

• Number of participants trained: 324. NMPs have trained 324 pastors and ministry leaders who are now able to train others in their congregations. If each of those 324 trains only 10 leaders in their churches, 3,240 others will be trained with the fundamentals of the faith.
• Number of workshops taught: 74. NMPs have completed 74 workshops to date. They teach a series of 4 workshops with each group of pastors and ministry leaders.
• Number of groups taught: 29. NMPs have trained 29 groups of pastors and ministry leaders to date.
• Number of nations reached: 10. NMPs have trained groups of pastors and ministry leaders in 10 nations: Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua, Panama and Peru.
• Number of National Missionary Partners: 15. We currently have 15 NMPs training pastors and ministry leaders throughout Latin America.

How Much Does Each Workshop Cost?

The Cost of 1 workshop: $600 on average.

• The cost to send an NMP to teach one workshop with 10 or more participants averages $600 per workshop. That provides printed workbooks and a lunch meal for each participant as well as travel expenses for the NMP.
• NMPs do not receive a salary for their work. They give of their time and efforts for free so that the Gospel will be spread far and wide.
