Teaching Repair & Maintenance Skills

Equipping indigenous Christ followers with essential repair and maintenance skills to address mechanical needs in their communities.

In various corners of the world, small engines play a vital role in sustaining life and livelihoods, from boat motors to chainsaws. In developing countries, people heavily depend on these engines for travel and survival. However, like any tool, these engines may encounter issues and require repair.

ITEC's mechanical training is designed to empower Christ followers in developing nations with the knowledge of small engine repair and maintenance. This training enables individuals to meet the needs of their communities. A seemingly simple task, such as helping repair a broken generator, becomes a unique opportunity to share the love and Good News of Jesus.

Our mechanical training establishes a foundational understanding of small engine care. Trainees learn maintenance basics like oil changes, filter replacements, and spark plug swaps, as well as critical skills to fix or replace engine components, ensuring an extended engine life.

While we've had the privilege of providing this training in various countries, our ultimate goal is to equip others to do the same. Imagine the impact of your next short-term trip, leaving a lasting impression by training others to serve their community through small engine repair.

We are on the lookout for highly skilled professionals who are open to traveling and collaborating with our team for training purposes. Should this opportunity spark your interest, we warmly invite you to connect with our team for further details.
