National Missionary Partners in Latin America

Daniel L. Sonnenberg, Regional Director for Timothy Two Project International in Latin America

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 leaders in other cities within their own countries and neighboring countries.

What are the Benefits of Training and Sending National Missionary Partners?

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

  • Cost – it is less expensive than sending someone from the USA, an average of only $600 per workshop
  • 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

  • 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.

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.
