The Method
Disciples Making Disciples.
Churches Planting Churches.
Leaders Developing Leaders.
The Timothy Initiative believes the best way to fulfill the Great Commission is by making disciples who make disciples and planting churches that plant churches.
Through TTI’s training, local leaders equip Christians with the necessary tools, resources, and strategies to reach their nations for Christ.
These churches meet in homes, on mountaintops, under trees, and in river beds. We don’t focus on building structures, so it is sustainable, reproducible, and cost-effective.

3 Phase Process
TTI’s training has three phases that center on spiritual multiplication, obedience-based discipleship, and mentoring. During the two-year training, each church planter is expected to plant at least one multiplying church in their region.
Initiate
A local, seasoned church planter and trainer leads a group of disciple makers through TTI’s introductory book, Disciples Making Disciples.
This phase takes approximately four months and has a strong emphasis on evangelism, disciple making, and church formation.
01
Establish
Disciple makers go through the entire Bible using TTI’s ten-book training materials. During this phase, they share their faith, plant churches, and raise up other believers to make disciples and plant churches.
This phase takes 12-15 months.
02
Expand
The church planting trainer continues to walk alongside disciple makers as they grow in their leadership, maturity, and move their churches towards sustainability.
The church planting trainer also identifies disciple makers who have the calling and competencies to become church planting trainers.
This phase of intentional leadership development lasts at least six months.
