美国提摩太国际教育协会(TTi)与恩道出版(香港)有限公司(Inspirata)携手并进, 二者仿佛是铁路的两条路轨,奠基在神的话语上,承载着一列属灵的火车向前方开 行,为国内牧者提供高质量的神学教育, 同时开发各种基督教文字资源。

TTi 的服事有三大版块:香港研讨会、国 内视频课程、在线课程,在线课前目前仍 在研发当中。TTi 学员将来可以从这三种 版块中选择适合自己的方式进行学习。

TTi 的教学理念是建立在“要交托那忠心 能教导别人的人”的圣经基础上,希望借 着香港课程、国内视频课程、在线课程、 并学员们自己在教会的话语服事,将神的 话语一代一代,忠实地传递给神的百姓。

恩道(Inspirata)的服事也由三块组成:纸质 书翻译发行、电子书出版推广和电子图书 馆。这三块服事针对的是华文神学资源匮 乏的现状,恩道盼望借着这些服事,让牧 者和平信徒们能通过方便快捷的方式,获 得更多高质量的神学和文字资源。

TTi 在服事华人教会的道路上已有 15 年的 历史。盼望更多有共识的肢体愿意考虑加 入 TTi 的团队,亦盼望弟兄姐妹持续以祷 告和奉献,来关心和支持 TTi 的服事。

Timothy Training International and Inspirata Publishing (Hong Kong) Limited are joining hands. Founded on the Word of God, they are like the two rails of a train track and as a spiritual train moving forward, providing high quality theological education and various Christian literary resources for Mainland Chinese pastors.

TTi’s ministry has three main components: seminars in Hong Kong, digital seminars in Mainland China, and online courses. (Our online courses are still being developed.) In the future, TTi students can choose from one or the combination of these three components to design their preferred method of theological study.

The educational philosophy of TTi is built upon 2 Timothy 2:2 - “Entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also”. Our goal is to make use of these seminars, and the ministry of the Word by our students in their local churches, to transmit the Word of God faithfully to His people from one generation to another.

Inspirata Publishing also has three ministry components: printed books publishing, electronic publishing, and electronic library. These ministries are set up in light of the present needs in Mainland churches for Chinese theological resources. We hope to enable Chinese pastors and believers to have quicker and more efficient access to more high quality theological materials.

TTi has served the Chinese church for 15 years. We hope those who share the same vision would be willing to join our team. We also hope that you would continue to pray for and support us financially.

Digital Seminars

Lorem Ipsum

Digital seminars are organized in class settings through the sponsorship of local churches and seminaries. Each digital course is 30 hours in length and includes a student manual for taking notes. A small group of local pastors and bible study leaders gather to complete the course with the help of local facilitators over periods of 5 days, 2 weeks, 5 weeks, or a pre-determined time frame.

TTi was founded by Janson Chan who is now serving as the Executive Director of our ministries. In early 2001, Janson was helped by his two former professors, Dr. Duane Elmer and Dr. Grant Osborne to organize seminars, training church pastors and leaders in China.

One distinguishing feature of this training is the use of world-class, evangelical bible scholars. In 2005, a systematic curriculum was established consisting of Bible books for the biannual training. In 2008, we moved to Hong Kong and registered in the USA to become a non-profit organization. By the grace of God, our ministry continues to grow to include two seminars every year held in Hong Kong, with three courses in each seminar.

In 2011, we added the use of digital courses to our training. These digital courses were made from video recordings of our live seminars. They are offered in China in small class settings with the sponsorship of local churches or seminaries. Enrollment for these courses is limited to local pastors and Bible study group leaders.

Board of Directors

We have a board of directors and our executive director is accountable to the board for his guidance and development of our ministries. Our board of directors include Dr. Grant Osborne (board chairman), Dr. Richard Averbeck (Secretary), Dr. George Guthrie, Dr. Hanry Yu, Dr. Martin Klauber and Dr. Duane Elmer.

Statement of Faith

TTi is interdenominational and is independent, with no affiliation to any local church, seminary or missions organization.

Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith *

  1. We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
  2. We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Advocate.
  4. We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.
  5. We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is, therefore, lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
  6. We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God.
  7. We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
  8. We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the Head.
  9. We believe that only those who are, thus, members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church.
  10. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and that every local church has the right, under Christ, to decide and govern its own affairs.
  11. We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this “Blessed Hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
  12. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.

    13. *TTi is not associated with the Evangelical Free Church of America, but we have adopted their pre-2008 statement of faith as expressing well our own convictions of biblical truth.

We have been offering courses on the Masters level. Students are required to complete their pre-course, practicum, and post-course assignments in addition to their attendance at the 8 days seminar. We are building an electronic library that aims to provide electronic resources for reading and research for our students.

We are an Associate Member of Asia Theological Association (ATA). Currently, we are offering the Master of Arts program with two concentrations: MA in Biblical Studies and MA in Christian Studies. Our goal is to receive full accreditation for our Master of Arts program in 2019.
