“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”

2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV)

At the heart of TnT Ministries is a deep conviction: ministry multiplication matters. As Paul exhorted Timothy, gospel work is never meant to end with us, it’s to be passed on to others who will, in turn, pass it on again. In that spirit, we’re excited to announce the launch of our new online training platform this July.

Designed for flexibility and global reach, the platform allows users to study our comprehensive range of training units at their own pace and equips them to mentor others—applying Paul’s model of multiplication in a practical, accessible way. With multilingual capabilities built in, the site is tailor-made for a global audience and we hope to start rolling out translations as soon as possible.

The content on our new platform also pairs perfectly with our Mustard Seeds material, forming a comprehensive, international hub for children’s and youth ministry resources and training. Whether you’re leading a Sunday School in Somerset or discipling teens in Soweto, we pray this tool will help multiply faithful gospel work across the world.

With over 90 years of combined ministry and training experience, our small team has been working tirelessly to distil everything we’ve learned, often things that have become second nature, into clear, written material that’s easy to understand and translate. The first thirteen units, spread across two modules, are already complete, and have 50 more in the pipeline.

Be sure to visit www.tntministries.org.uk towards the end of July to explore the new online training platform.

As mentioned in our previous newsletter, Jo-Anne Taylor, Director of Siyakhulisa Kids, a Cape Town-based charity, is playing a key role in both writing and road-testing our new training resources. She’s hit the ground running, delivering both in-person and online training in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Her sessions have been warmly received by people eager to grow in their understanding of God’s Word and in their ministry skills.

This partnership with Siyakhulisa Kids is already bearing fruit, but it does require further funding. In November, Rory will be in both Cape Town and Johannesburg to support Jo-Anne in hosting a training day and fundraising event in each city, giving local Christians the opportunity to invest in this significant gospel work.

In the meantime, we’re inviting our faithful supporters to help bridge the funding gap. Please prayerfully consider what contribution you might be able to make, and get in touch with Rory at rory@tntministries.org.uk.

TnT Training

Life since our February newsletter has been a blur, especially for Rory, who has clocked up thousands of air miles conducting training in Hong Kong, Italy, Latvia, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Romania, as well as at various events throughout the UK. It’s been exhausting, but deeply rewarding. Three particularly significant and memorable moments stand out.

Firstly, while in Latvia, Rory had the joy of meeting, for the very first time, the four individuals who formed the chain that led to all our resources being translated into Latvian. It all began in 2016 when Kristīne was introduced to our Mustard Seeds materials at a Proclamation Trust Women in Ministry Conference. Inspired by what she saw, she took them back to Janis in Latvia, who then contacted us about translating the material.

Janis faithfully carried out the work for a time before handing it over to Simona (not pictured), who brought the project near to completion. Anda then stepped in, brought it over the finish line, and played a key role in organising the March training day where Rory had the privilege of teaching.

Secondly, one of the organisers of that training day in Riga shared how powerful it was to see participants from Lutheran, Baptist, and Reformed churches all gathered in the same room. In a country where sectarian divisions still run deep, such unity is both rare and deeply moving. And yet, these believers came together with one shared purpose: to see the next generation well-discipled through faithful youth and children’s ministry. It was a striking reminder that the gospel truly can unite where history often divides.

Thirdly, in Hong Kong, a woman who had initially been reluctant to attend the training offered the following feedback:

Before attending the training, I didn't have high expectations for the training content. After all, as a mom who enjoys reading and learning, I thought I was pretty well-equipped and didn't expect to learn anything new in just a few hours. However, I must admit that changes started happening on Friday night. The first change was a revolutionary understanding of the purpose of Sunday school. I used to think of Sunday school as a kind of nursery on Sundays. The second change was in the teaching content and methods. I suddenly had a new understanding of my Sunday lesson, and I felt at ease.

These testimonies remind us why this work matters—and why we’re committed to making it accessible worldwide.

With much appreciation for your partnership!

Rory, Kim and Hannah
