Truth Centered TransformationTruth Centered Transformation (TCT) is a discipleship program for churches, which teaches Christians to bring all areas of life into alignment with biblical truth and to serve their communities with loving actions. The goals of the program are to see churches strengthened, communities move out of poverty, and God glorified. In FY2022 we continued in person trainings. As the work returned to pre-covid levels, we focused on building capacity, especially on our team in Africa. We hired several new team members who are serving in regional and national roles.Churches StrongerChurches Stronger is a practical Bible-based lessons that are delivered via low-data platforms. We launched the Churches Stronger program in April 2020. Many churches faced serious challenges brought on by COVID-19 and lockdowns. The goals of the program are to (1) offer affordable, accessible discipleship tools to Majority World pastors, (2) bring biblical teaching with practical application to believers daily concerns, and (3) strengthen churches during a time of crisis. The program has been very successful reaching 50,000 churches. In FY2022 we launched a new curriculum via Churches stronger based on the TCT curriculum. The materials continue to be sent each week to pastors and church leaders throughout Africa and Asia.
