TICMI WAS FOUNDED BY HELEN MELAHOURIS WITH A PASSION TO BRING HOPE AND HEALING TO THE WORLD. THE FOCUS OF THE MINISTRY IS THREE-FOLD: 1. IGNITING PASSION THROUGH INTERCESSION AND THE TEACHING OF THE WORD TO SET GOD'S CHILDREN AROUND THE GLOBE ON FIRE FOR HIS KINGDOM; 2. INSTILLING PURPOSE BY HELPING PEOPLE REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL AND WORTH SO THEY CAN BE RELEASED TO PURSUE THEIR DEVINE CALLING; 3. INVESTING PROMISE BY ESTABLISHING TRUST THROUGH A COMMITED RELATIONSHIP THAT CONTINUES BEYOND OUR BRIEF SOJOURNS TO THAT COUNTRY. THE UNIQUE ASPECTS OF THE MINISTRY ARE TO DISCIPLE BELIEVERS, PARTNER WITH INDIGENOUS LEADERS, AND ENCOURAGE EMERGING LEADERS FOR THE GOAL OF TAKING THE MESSAGE OF GOD'S LOVE TO THE PEOPLE OF THEIR NATIONS.
