For overseas partners, financial commitment is required to do short term hands-on ministry. Should one of Dale and Ann Little's supporting churches want to become an overseas partner, they will be encouraged to make the same financial contribution to TMCC as required by other overseas partners.
In order to launch this project, 30 partners giving the monthly minimum will be required. If partners give more than the minimum, then less partners will be required to start the project.
