MATTHEW 25:40
Matthew 25:40 is an interdenominational, non-sectarian social service agency dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals and families in need.  It is committed to promoting self-sufficiency among the people it serves, and is further committed to fostering a sense of community responsibility among its clients.  Matthew 25:40 believes that those persons who have a better understanding of themselves in relationship to others have the best chance for becoming useful and productive citizens.  It recognizes the right of all individuals in need to be treated with dignity and respect.  Information for this and other United Way ministries can be found at www.unitedway.tn.org/counties/Dyer . 
MEN’S GROUP HOME
These special men between the ages of 25 and 65 live under one roof in Dyersburg, TN.  They participate in government-created workshops during the day and enjoy time together in the evenings and weekends.   A team from TSC provides a worship and activity time each Monday evening at their home.  They attend TSC on a rotating basis. 
NEW TRIBES MISSIONARIES (NTM)
NTM coordinates missionaries, sent by local churches, to take the Gospel to tribal people. Missionaries then plant churches, disciple believers, translate the Scriptures, and train teachers and leaders, who in turn reach out to their own people and to neighboring tribes.  Steve and Linda Rosengren work in Canada and travel through Indonesia twice annually to promote the word of God through the translation of the Word in the Wana language.  The website is www.ntm.org .
NAVAJO INDIANS
These Christian Navajo Indians are strong believers living in dire circumstances.  Tucker Street Church has been several times to New Mexico on Youth Mission Trips.  TSC has provided the materials and labor for building a church facility with a concrete floor (an upgrade from a dirt floor), restroom (previously an outhouse was used), and a safe electrical system (opposed to a wire strung with a light bulb dangling).  On a subsequent trip, a children’s playground was provided and installed.  A yellow school bus filled with computers was also donated to the Navajos.
PIONEERS
