The Call:
In December, 2005, we went to the Pastors To Missionaries Conference  in North Carolina.  Very
early in the conference, God revealed to our hearts that this is what He has been training us for and
now is the time to begin this new ministry.  
The Answer:
In order to do this properly, Rick resigned from St. Matthew United Methodist Church in June and
Janie finished out the school year and resigned her teaching position in May, 2006
Timothy International was created in March of 2006 by Rick and Janie Burkhalter.  

Purpose:

To pastor missionaries and pastors.
To hold up the arms of those that give tirelessly.
To encourage a  freshness and deeper intimacy with our Lord Jesus Christ
To promote missions to advance the Kingdom of God.
