For the 20 years that ITMI has been in Tempe, volunteers have been a vital part of the ministry. All of our mailings are processed by these faithful workers. They come once a month to process and send the mission's Newsletter and at different times, as needed, perform other duties.

They come with smiles and eager hands. They come when needed and are slow to leave. These willing soldiers are a blessing to the permanent ITMI staff.

ITMI, from its inception, intended that the mission's primary thrust would be that of a service ministry, that is: supplying material needs, bringing Bibles, and going to foreign countries to help with and evaluate medical, building, and spiritual needs.

Initially, ITMI was not to be a sending mission (having personnel permanently stationed in a foreign country). However, in recent years, people have come to us, wanting to serve in countries where ITMI has a presence. The mission began by sending Ron and Jane Dissly to Poland for 5 years to minister while teaching English as a second language. Since then others have candidated to go to Poland and other countries.

Missionary candidates may go on a short term basis (two months to two years) or for periods of two to five years or longer.
