Training Tomorrow’s Leaders — Organization Profile
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders, often abbreviated T.T.L., is a 501(c)(3) Christian missions organization registered in the United States. The ministry exists to facilitate the planting of new churches in western Africa by financially supporting indigenous church planters, training indigenous church planters, and facilitating projects that enable new churches to be planted. Its public materials describe the work as “Expanding the Kingdom together” through church planting and missions in West Africa.
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders is based in McConnelsville, Ohio, and its ministry work is focused in northern Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso. The organization serves unreached people groups, local churches, indigenous church planters, pastors, evangelists, lay leaders, children, and communities in areas where gospel access and basic social resources may be limited. The ministry states that it works among unreached people groups, including groups in Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso.
The organization’s core ministry is church planting among unreached people groups through trained indigenous leaders. T.T.L. reports that it has planted churches in multiple regions of Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso and that its workers include college-trained church planters, college-trained preachers, and lay helpers. Its history traces the work to 1991, when the first church planter was sent out after training and financial support through partner churches.
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders also emphasizes training and discipleship for pastors, evangelists, church planters, lay leaders, and helpers. The ministry organizes seminars and provides training in both literary and non-literary methods of evangelism and discipleship. Because some communities include high levels of illiteracy, T.T.L. uses oral methods to help communicate the gospel and disciple believers. The organization also identifies Charis School of the Bible and Missions as part of its effort to develop future church planters and missionaries.
Beyond church planting and training, T.T.L. works through community development and children’s ministry. Its public materials describe assistance with school fees, medical costs, small-business grants, agricultural projects, schools, clothing, and wells for safe drinking water. The ministry also trains children’s ministry leaders, organizes Vacation Bible School programs, provides materials for children’s ministry, and starts Christian schools in West African communities with the aim of raising students who can serve their communities.
People can engage Training Tomorrow’s Leaders by praying, giving, volunteering, fundraising, contacting the ministry, or helping share its work with churches and families. The organization states that it depends on partnership to support church planters, training, community development, and children’s ministry efforts. Supporters can give through the ministry’s website or contact T.T.L. directly to learn about volunteer opportunities, events, and ways to help expand the work.
