The Spirit of the Lord is moving in so many incredible ways as we faithfully and aggressively move on our vision to identify, equip, and release indigenous urban leaders to plant churches and facilitate church planting movements.
Come and See

No Need to Wait

Danny and Martin are both former “lifers” who took TUMI classes together in prison. They served the Lord faithfully inside and led the church, named Pillar of Fire, in their prison yard.
Room at the Foot of the Cross
One of the greatest privileges of serving the men and women who take The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) classes is hearing the amazing ways God has worked in their lives.
