Founded in 2013
The idea for Teach to Transform came from an ER doctor, who for over 25 years embraced the new philosophy of short-term mission trips to “go and teach” rather than “go and do”. Dr. Tom has several years of hands-on experience teaching others to perform medical procedures in third world countries. By teaching local pastors and leaders to perform basic medical skills, Dr. Tom has witnessed the impact that teaching others can have on the health and strength of a community.
