Every interested person and church must be trained by TMCI to ensure consistency of the program’s mission and values. Upon completion of the training, the TMC Program becomes a certified TMC Licensee. TMCI maintains an ongoing supervisory role with the Licensee to provide support, resources, and new training tools. Our vision is to have 5 more TMC’s in 5 churches across NWI in 5 years. Anew will partner with churches to fund their own TMC program in their local body so generational cycles can be broken, lives be restored, and break the chain of poverty all in and by the local church living out the mission of Jesus to a young mom.
