Each study is written in two forms: (1) for noviceleaders of new cells and congregations, and (2) for children’s workers.Each T&M translation hasprofessionally-drawn art that is adapted to its culture region.Pictures in P-T studies remain scarce and generic. Theseshould be replaced by those who translate the studies.The T&M menu is keyed to suggested trainingand mentoring methods, as well as to booklet titles.The P-T studies present very little on training andmentoring methods. Earlier versions of T&M were writtenprimarily for nominally-Christian populations, whereas the 2001 andlater versions are more widely adaptable.P-T studies assume a non-Christian population andnovice workers from a non-Christian background.T&M materials focus on reproduction: (a)for pastors and missionaries training new leaders, and (b) for youngcongregations birthing new congregations.Some P-T studies deal with reproduction, but mosthelp novice “shepherds” plan their weekly activities and congregationalworship times.T&M is available under license from ProjectWorldReach.
