VISION AND STRATEGY

We believe God has given Titus Project a specific calling and strategy to bring Bible training to areas of the world with less resources and greater need. Our goal is to steward this calling.

Titus International Role

  • Promote and pass on the vision and DNA of Titus Project
  • Provide support for the development and strengthening of Titus worldwide (including the development from a 3-month program to a year-round ministry)
  • Set strategic goals and encourage vision for the multiplication of Titus programs

Program Oversight

In order to serve both our participants and the audiences we will be teaching on outreach, Titus Int’l aims to ensure that the Titus Project program maintains a standard of quality, effectiveness, and consistency across each location.

The goal of the 3-week Training/Outreach Preparation time is that participants will be equipped in practical ways so as to make their teaching on outreach as effective as possible.

The goal of Outreach is that our audiences will be encouraged and equipped with tools to be able to study the Bible on their own.

The goal for the Debriefing and Celebration time is that participants will be able to celebrate what God has done and be well-debriefed and ready to head back into life and further ministry.

Titus Project International Role In Program Oversight

  • Uphold the vision of Titus being outward-focused, bringing Biblical training to places of great need
  • Uphold the ministry standards and values of Titus Project
  • Continually evaluate the Titus Project curriculum to ensure it remains effective and culturally adaptable and that it reaches the goal of equipping teachers to be effective in bringing Biblical training to the nations
  • Oversee the development and updating of resources
  • Help the Titus program remain uniform among the various locations (i.e. no matter where a person does Titus, they are getting a similar experience)
  • Help locations understand and be able to work within the U of N requirements

COMMUNICATION AND CONNECTEDNESS

In the earlier days of Titus, our leaders all knew each other, regularly communicated together, and supported one another. We were a Titus family. We want to continue and promote a culture of being a family. We believe that as we support each other and are connected to the bigger picture, we will be more effective in the ministry God has called us to.

Titus International Role

  • Foster a culture of teamwork, collaboration, and support among the Titus locations
  • Connect with leaders around the world to encourage and offer guidance
  • Serve as a central point of contact for inquiries, requests, and information sharing within the ministry
  • Organize Titus consultations (gatherings for Titus leaders and staff to mutually encourage, connect, and receive further training)
  • Interface with SBSes, represent Titus at SBS gatherings, and promote Titus alongside SBS
  • Create awareness and connect Titus with other YWAM initiatives (e.g. EBPN)
  • Encourage prayer support between the locations
  • Maintain a central communication platform

Staff Training and Support

As Titus continues to grow and multiply around the world, we want to make sure all of our Titus leaders feel equipped to oversee the Titus Project program and ministry at their location.

Titus International Role

  • Walk alongside new leaders to ensure they understand the heart, vision, and DNA of Titus
  • Equip leaders in knowing how to run the outreach preparation time and set up effective outreaches
  • Develop staff training resources to further equip Titus leaders and staff

THE INTERNATIONal TEAM

AMY STEVENS

 Home Country: USA

Current Residence: Taiwan

DTS: 1992 / Montana, USA

SBS: 1993-94 / Montana, USA

Pioneered Titus 1996, Montana, USA

After completing her SBS, Amy joined SBS staff in Montana for two years. During her second year on staff, she had the opportunity to go on a teaching outreach to Ukraine. It was during this outreach that she began to realize and experience first hand the immense need around the world for Bible training. God began putting it on her heart to form SBS outreach teams to help meet this need. At this same time, the SBS leaders in Montana came to Amy and asked if she would be willing to start an outreach department for SBS graduates — and thus Titus Project was born. Amy’s heart is to see Bible training be brought to areas of the world where people are hungry for training but lack the resources and opportunity. She loves teaching and creating resources to help meet this need.
