ATATM LLC Ministry Overview

There are three major prongs to this ministry.

1. Writing/Publishing training material including translation services

 

 


2. Provide Training ATATM material in different forms and for different audiences

3. Foreign Missions Helps via housing and transportation services

Prong 1 - Writing/Publishing Training Materials

Products: We develop and produce lesson modules that can be purchased via the ATATM website. Currently, there are 35 lessons available in .PDF downloadable modules. By the end of the year, there will be 30 to 50 more.

If a group studies all the current modules, the study will take around a year to complete. It is designed to produce spiritually self-feeding, fully convinced, graciously aggressive disciples who have the confidence to engage their world for the Kingdom.

The modules cover such topics as:

  • "What are the current worldviews compared to the Christian worldview?"
  • Why are we Jesus followers and what about His outrageous claims? "
  • Is the Bible really trustworthy? "
  • How do history and prophecy fit together and what do they tell me? "
  • How have real Christians affected the world?"
  • What about this Holy Spirit and power to live?"
  • Where does prayer fit into everything?

The modules include implementation strategies for teaching (team or individual) in a Christian education or small group setting.

Presently, ATATM concentrates on translating training modules into Spanish and Turkish.

Prong 2 - Provide Training Events

Frosh Camps: This is a 2-3 day camp for incoming college freshmen to prepare them for competing worldviews they will encounter on college campuses. It will be a crash course of topics from the modules above and will include guest speakers. Sessions will concentrate on topics such as:

  • "Can I be sure there is a Creator? Has He has made Himself known? "
  • Why are we Jesus followers? "
  • So the Bible Really Is Trustworthy? "
  • History and Prophecy - Where Are We?
  • What is a, even the, real worldview? "
  • What About This Holy Spirit and Power to Live? "
  • How should I approach evangelism with people of different backgrounds? "
  • How do I deal with the tough questions?

Seminars: This is a weekend event for believers in the pew to prepare them to get out of the pew and be graciously aggressive with their co-workers. This follows the same topics as in the camps above. This is also an excellent preparation for new believers to become fully grounded and ready to plant, water, or harvest at any time. Plus it is a good train-the-trainer event.

Prong 3 - Missions Focus: Acclimation Services

ATATM helps foreign missions by providing furnished housing and transportation to foreign students at seminaries and educational institutions around the country. We acquire housing units and vehicles with the help of ministry team members and associates. This includes financial analysis for purchase, income analysis, maintenance and management, etc.

Qualified candidates and their families receive free housing, transportation, and maintenance while they are being prepared to spread the Gospel around the world. This helps them adjust to Western life with the support of family and eases the daunting financial burden that comes with higher education.
