As a movement and ministry we are always on the move seeking to advance the Kingdom of God by developing new relationships with indigenous church leadership and assist in the work of restoring church unity, encouraging intimacy, empower the believer and reaching the world through love and creative mission. Part of our philosophy is to identify and empower key individuals who the Lord has called and prepared to champion the cause in their own nation and region. We do this in a number of ways, for example this could be through organising a Body and the Bride conference to address immediate regional church needs and where necessary begin the work of reconciliation and healing a broken regional body which can so often prevail. This work of reconciliation provides the corporate foundation upon which empowerment can come and effective mission can take place. Equally we are committed to prioritise the importance of the individual and encourage and empower people to reach their highest potential in God through a lifestyle of intimacy with God and spiritual discipline. It is this two-tier approach which characterises Time Out Mission and positions it as a relevant mission with a significant voice and contribution to make in these turbulent times.

How to Arrange a Visit from the TOM Apostolic Team
We are a missionary based ministry and are open to travel anywhere in the world where the Lord opens a door. We have no outside
funding or support and therefore all of work is done with a total dependency upon God for the provision of finances. Because
the ministry has grown significantly it has been necessary to adopt a specific policy on how mission trips should be arranged, and it is important for anyone wanting to arrange a visit from the TOM apostolic team to be aware of the steps involved. We have
therefore put together a simple outline explaining what to do.
