Our Mission

Reaching the peoples of the world by equipping local church leaders.

We are passionate about seeing Jesus worshipped among all nations. The local church is God’s chosen means for raising up His disciples. However, most pastors are shepherding churches without access to theological or pastoral training. We exist to meet this great need for deep discipleship, pastoral preparation, leadership training, and theological education around the world so that the gospel is spread to all peoples.

What We Do

Sending missionaries to partner with local churches.

Short-term <br>Training Trips

Training Trips

around the world.
Long-term Missionaries

Long-term Missionaries

Church Partnerships

Church Partnerships

We seek to train and mobilize churches across the North America and beyond to share in the work of Christ’s Great Commission. Partners provide theological education to local church leaders around the world so they can effectively reach their communities
with the gospel.

We seek to advance the gospel by making mature disciples, establishing healthy churches, and training local leaders around the world.

My family and I are grateful to be part of a mission organization committed to the very things that we are passionate about—strengthening the local church through theological and pastoral training and deep discipleship.
AJ Gibson, Missionary in Mexico
Through my RTIM internship, I learned so much about everyday missionary life, living in another culture and context, working with the local church, and about God’s character. I am so thankful for this opportunity!
Grace Steele, Intern in Cordoba, Argentina
I have traveled several times to Honduras to team-teach a group of pastors and church leaders the curriculum of RTIM. I've been blessed by the eagerness of the pastors and leaders to learn God's Word and gain pastoral skills.
Mike Williamson, Training Trip Participant
Our partnership with RTIM has awakened a heart for missions in our members. We have learned a great deal about serving & teaching cross-culturally, and we look forward to contributing at another teaching site as God opens the opportunity.
