A Biblical Paradigm For Bringing People To Christ

Touch to teach, or “T2T”, is a paradigm for spreading the Gospel message. T2T means touching lives by putting the love of Jesus into action, helping meet people’s real needs for food, water, shelter, and healing. T2T also means teaching the good news of the Gospel message, giving them the eternal hope found in God’s plan. T2T is about meeting people where they are at, and walking alongside them, showing Christ-like love and support. Sometimes this means first feeding those who are hungry. Other times, this means sharing with them the hope that is in the Bible message. Often, it is somewhere in between.

T2T follows the example of Jesus. There are many examples where Jesus first touched the lives of the people he encountered by meeting their immediate physical needs. He provided food, resources, healing and even resurrection. He also taught people directly. In most cases He established a relationship with the person first, and he met them where they lived. WCF follows Christ’s example through the T2T initiative.

How T2T Operates

The T2T initiative’s purpose is to provide guidance, funds and/or missionary workers to support projects conducted primarily by other Christadelphian organizations such as ecclesias or mission organizations or individuals. We do not generally directly run any initiatives ourselves, but instead partner with projects and rely on the experience and expertise of those directly involved in the project.

We currently support work in places such as India, South Africa, the Philippines, Vietnam and North America.

We are always open to receiving funding proposals for T2T partner projects. There is a formal submission process that involves providing us with key details about the project. We evaluate each project keeping in mind the general T2T principles as described above.
