THE TEAM
TEAM LEADER: Pat Davis
Be the hands and feet of Jesus as you serve and build relationships with the students and staff at TCM! As a short-term worker, you, alongside the full-time and long-term staff, will serve the Eastern European and Central Asia Christian pastors who come to study at TCM.
Students at TCM come from some of the hardest to reach places of our world today. The pastors and evangelists that study at TCM must overcome many obstacles when they go back to their home communities to build God's Kingdom. They will return home from TCM with renewed strength and a deeper understanding of the Gospel so that they can continue to transform their communities with Christ. Serving them on this trip is a way for us to support the important work they are doing and will be a life-changing experience for those who go to serve!
Areas of service include Guest Services, Grounds and House Maintenance and the kitchen. Much of the work on this trip includes strenuous physical labor, stair climbing, long hours on your feet and a lot of walking. All participants must be in good health. Meals are served family style with no specialized menus for those that may have special food needs. This trip is about 'washing feet' and you will be amazed at how your willingness to put others first will encourage their hearts!

All applications must be submitted no later than 120 days before departure for international trips and 90 days before domestic trips. Please note, applying for a GO Team does not confirm your spot on the team. Once applications are reviewed, you may be requested to participate in an informal interview with a Team Leader. Following review, you will be notified of your acceptance or status on a waiting list. If a team is full you can still apply and be put on a waiting list should a spot become available. Once your application is accepted for any team you will be required to pay a deposit ($100 for international and $25 for domestic teams). The deposit will confirm your spot on the team.
TCM
TCM International Institute develops Christian leaders for significant service through higher learning.
Through the development of strong Christian maturity, servant leadership, involvement of diverse cultures, and the transformation character of Christianity, we promote healthy change both in individuals and communities. By establishing a critical mass of strong churches, agencies, and ministries, not only will individual lives be transformed, but the culture of the European, Central Asian, and African countries and cultures will be strengthened through Christ.
Through practical educational preparation for ministry, TCM International Institute trains and fosters indigenous Christian leaders for the purpose of reaching their own countries, cultures, and churches for Christ. In consultation with key leaders throughout Europe, Central Asia, and Africa, we provide a graduate "field based" learning environment of bi-vocational nationals with a practical focus. It must relate to the needs of adult learners who are already involved in significant ministries throughout Europe and Central Asia.
TCM's holistic preparation for leadership is centrally focused on the whole person: head, heart, hands, and feet. Thus, the educational experiences we provide are designed to develop servant leaders spiritually and professionally as well as intellectually. The challenges these Christian Leaders will face in their post-educational ministry will be great in diverse hostile environments. Having an understanding and ownership of what it means to be Christ-like through their servant leadership will be instrumental in their success.
TCM advocates non-denominational Christianity based solely on Biblical authority. We do not promote any denomination in Europe or Central Asia, but rather work hand-in-hand with anyone who follows Jesus Christ as Lord in obedience to His Word. We recognize and value the diverse indigenous Christian churches, institutions, and agencies already in place throughout Europe, Central Asia, and Africa. Therefore, national partnerships exist in the various countries in which TCM works to provide oversight, counsel, guidance, and direction in all TCM activities for the sole purpose of strengthening their cultures through Christ.
