In the summer of 1999, Dr. Gabriel E. McCurtis, Ed.D., DSL, sensed a call from God to
travel to the continent of Africa. Dr. McCurtis had never been to Africa and did
not know what he was expected to do once he got there. Nonetheless, he accepted
his call and learned that some of his associates heavily
involved in world missions were traveling to Africa. He made arrangements to travel
with them. Upon his arrival in Nairobi, Kenya, he immediately met Dr. Francis
Kamau, Ph.D., an African-born, American-educated pastor. After becoming
acquainted, they discussed the real reason behind their serendipitous
encounter. During that encounter, Dr. McCurtis and Dr. Kamau committed to a
lifelong friendship and involvement in improving the education and community
economic development of the people of Kenya.
In 2000, Dr. McCurtis founded the Total Man International Network, Inc.
(TMINI), a 501c3 nonprofit organization to enhance the lives of
indigenous peoples of Third World countries, through education and community
economic development.
TMINI is supported by friends, acquaintances, well-wishers, and colleagues of Dr.
McCurtis. Through these contributions, children of Third World nations, preschool
through college, can improve their futures as they are
assisted financially in their educational endeavors.
