TEE traditionally stands for Theological Education by Extension, but is more easily understood as 'Tools to Equip and Empower'- tools for local churches to equip and empower all their members to grow in Christ and serve him actively. Across Asia and the Middle East today, churches use TEE learning groups to make disciples and grow leaders in their own contexts. TEE is growing in 21st century Asia and among its diaspora. Increase is at its innovative cutting edge.
