This is such an exciting time to be in urban ministry. That isn’t to say that it is an easy time, but it is a time when opportunities are endless.
TUMI’s stated purpose is to equip leaders for the urban church, especially among the poor, to advance the Kingdom of God.
All of history is moving toward the consummation of the Kingdom of God, expressed in Jesus’ Great Commission.
TUMI partners with ministries who want to train their Christian leaders, including men and women in prisons and jails. We would like to offer TUMI’s training to every inmate who desires to be more effective in ministry.
My wife Cathy and I recently traveled to Wichita, KS, to participate in The Urban Ministry Institute’s 2015 Summit, which was inspiring, motivating, and encouraging.
At TUMI (The Urban Ministry Institute), we have seen examples of this “principle of reversal” time and again, so we expect the Lord to continue to do great things among the students in our satellite program, particularly among the more than 1000 who are incarcerated.
One of the blessings I have in connecting with a wide variety of churches around the country is seeing the ways they are making a difference in their surrounding communities.
Recently, my wife Cathy and I visited historic Folsom Prison and heard amazing stories of transformation from the student-inmates.
Recently, we had the opportunity to lay hands on a new group of leaders for Iglesia Del Maestro in Dallas, TX. All of the new leaders have been or are current students of The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) and have been faithful members of Iglesia Del Maestro.
One of the most exciting events of the year is the annual international TUMI Summit taking place in Wichita, KS this weekend (May 15-17).
