Empowering Leaders to Fulfill the Great Commission
At TEL International, we are committed to encouraging indigenous pastors, missionaries, and church leaders to pursue a deeper knowledge of God and to faithfully align their lives and ministries with the authority of His Word. Our focus is rooted in the belief that the Great Commission is not merely about sending missionaries into the world—it is fundamentally about sending God’s truth through those missionaries. With this in mind, we are dedicated to equipping our partners with biblical and theological resources that serve as vital tools for studying and rightly handling the Scriptures.
To help support this mission, we provide access to foundational materials that form the core of a pastoral library. These often include a Bible, concordance, Bible dictionary, commentaries, and works on systematic theology. Such tools empower church leaders to teach more accurately, preach more faithfully, and disciple others more effectively within their own cultural contexts.
In addition to spiritual resources, we also supply essential ministry tools and logistical support to help remove practical barriers to effective ministry. Transportation is a major focus—whether it’s providing automobiles, motorcycles, or bicycles—so that missionaries can reach remote villages with relief and medical supplies, often in areas where economic hardship, cultural differences, and language barriers limit access to basic healthcare and assistance.
We also provide media equipment such as sound systems, projectors, and evangelistic films, which help communicate the Gospel in compelling and culturally relevant ways. Furthermore, we supply computers and other office tools to support the administrative work that undergirds healthy, sustainable ministry operations, enabling leaders to manage communications, maintain records, develop teaching materials, and coordinate outreach efforts with great efficiency.
Around the world, countless missionaries are serving faithfully in the places to which God has called them. However, many are hindered by the lack of even the most basic tools needed to fulfill their ministry effectively. At TEL International, we believe it is not only our duty but also a central part of the Great Commission to stand alongside these men and women—supporting them with the resources they need to advance the Kingdom of God and live out the calling He has placed on their lives. This includes not only meeting practical and logistical needs but also fostering long-term growth by investing in their spiritual development, leadership training, and the strengthening of local churches. By equipping them holistically, we help ensure that their impact is not just immediate, but lasting—transforming individuals, families, and communities with the truth and love of Christ.
