TIMO brings teams of 3 to 12 new missionaries into places of engagement with Africa's unreached people groups. With the guidance of an experienced team leader, and at times, working with national church partners, each team sets out to learn language and culture as they work through TIMO\u2019s specialized curriculum. With an emphasis on church planting, TIMO provides practical hands-on training while engaging in real, transformational ministry: what you learn in the books you read and the papers you write is reinforced in your day-to-day life as you engage with your community. COMPELLED BY CHRIST\u2019S LOVE for Africa\u2019s Unreached People Groups, TIMO trains gospel-centered teams from the global church to plant reproducing churches. TIMO is about training cross-cultural workers in context. Some teams are in towns, some are in cities, some are rural, and some are really off the beaten path.
