Lifechanging Impact

About

VALUES

We operate with these values at the forefront of all we do.

  • Biblical

    We exist to carry out Christ's Great Commission. This is the focus and heartbeat behind what we do, the decisions we make, and the impact we strive to achieve.

  • Strategic

    We focus on the most urgent needs with opportunity for the biggest impact. By prioritizing our mission, we can be more successful in achieving our goals.

  • Exponential

    We concentrate on growth in the areas that will have a massive impact and that can be replicated. We believe by focusing on what can be exponential, we will achieve our goals faster and more effectively.

  • Relational

    We connect & relate with others where they are. Both locally and globally, we know people and lives are what matter. We build our relationships on love and grace.

Matthew 28:18-20 – The Great Commission

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Ephesians 4:11-13

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

2 Timothy 2:2

And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.

LEADERSHIP


Bruce Wilkinson

Founder and Chairman

International ministry leader and award-winning author Dr. Bruce Wilkinson founded TEN as the culmination of four decades of proven global ministry and training ‘best practices’. Bruce founded TEN in 2013 because he believes that “nothing is more strategic to fulfilling the Great Commission than the training of millions of pastors and church leaders who cannot access or afford traditional academic institutions.” Since its founding, TEN has trained more than 100,000 students at 3,700 TEN Training Centers in dozens of countries, and thousands of students on its 2,500-acre beautiful training Campus on a game park in South Africa.

Bruce has given keynote addresses at major national and international events with stadium audiences of 80,000 or more. His breakout book, The Prayer of Jabez, was the fastest-selling book in history with worldwide sales exceeding 20 million. He has written more than 70 books that have been translated into 30 languages, including several books that reached the number one spot on the bestseller lists of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.

In addition to being in demand as a speaker and writer, Bruce is a gifted leader and trainer. He built the largest religious seminar organization in the world, Walk Thru the Bible. He trained 100,000 professional teachers in Teaching for Life Change, and launched and led the global initiative WorldTeach which recruited and trained more than 30,000 indigenous leaders in 83 nations to conduct life skills courses. He also chaired CoMission, a movement in which 87 national organizations joined together to train Russian teachers on ethics and teaching methodologies.

Bruce has been a featured guest on major television and radio shows and has held private meetings with foreign presidents, as well as key leaders in the U.S. government.
