TRANSFORMNATION TEACHER-TRAINING PROGRAM

TransformNation (TfN) is a Christ-centered teacher training that equips young men and women to transform communities. Through education, TfN breaks cycles of poverty, fostering growth and hope by empowering the next generation of leaders.

WHY TEACHERS?
We believe that the most effective way to reach out to children, set them free from poverty, and share the knowledge of God is through great teachers. Great teachers don't simply just execute a lesson plan. They spend thousands of hours investing in children to help shape the way they see the world. They are passionate and full of love. They are problem solvers and initiators. They look into the eyes of little children and see future leaders.

THE VISION


TfN links three distinct stages of ministry, connecting them through strategic investment in each stage, as follows:

    EMBRACE

    Embracing vulnerable children who live in communities where care and education are deficient, serving them through MSI's Christian schools and children's homes.

    EQUIP

    Equipping young adults from these communities with skills and knowledge through the 8-year TransformNation program. Many of them come from MSI sites by recommendation.

    IMPACT

    Impacting communities through TransformNation teachers who are ready to serve in new or existing educational settings, expanding the breadth and quality of the work.

    THE GOAL


    TfN graduates are more than just teachers—they are educators, leaders, and catalysts for change. Through an extensive 8-year program, TfN equips trainees with the skills and knowledge to inspire, influence, and transform their communities, society, and culture.

        TfN Curriculum


        TfN trainees pursue their education across two dynamic campuses.

        At the local university, they work toward earning a bachelor degree, gaining the academic foundation needed for skilled teaching. Meanwhile, they engage in a comprehensive training program designed to refine their calling, strengthen their character, and develop impactful leadership.

        Your Support in Action


        Since TfN started in 2011, 109 Indonesian youth have been trained and empowered. They have been serving 32 sites across the Indonesian archipelago and are currently impacting more than 3000 children.

          After completing their bachelor's degree and teaching internships, TfN alumni are empowered to chart their own paths. Many pursue higher education, while others embark on careers in teaching or government service. Some choose to stay connected to MSI by working at our sites, and others return to their villages to establish schools and contribute to their communities.
