Jim Tollar, a TCM board member, currently serves as the Executive Director, chairing the director meetings and liaising with the TCM board. Most of the leadership responsibilities for TCM are handled by the other directors.
Ben Anderson, the International Director, is in charge of TCM’s overseas missionaries and fields. Ben helps each field develop their strategy for reaching their own country while looking at new countries to reach with wonderful message of God’s saving grace. Ben and his wife Joyce, TCM’s Member Care Coordinator, are based in Singapore.

Bob & Beth Xavier have dedicated decades of their lives to working with young people and families. Bob is Director of Grace Martial Arts based in Bradenton, Florida. http://gracemartialarts.org
In response to God’s love, grace and truth, the purpose of Grace Martial Arts is to glorify God through teaching the Life-Changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to youth and their families and to assist the church in evangelizing and discipling a sea of lost, destitute souls in our own Nation’s communities. Our youth and family programs foster growth in Biblical competence, spiritual formation and ministry leadership skills, with special emphasis on Biblical authority, authentic Christian living and world evangelism.
