In 2009, VTS was awarded a Partners in Global Mission grant from Trinity Wall Street to bring over four MTC students over two January terms to experience the VTS cultural context and outreach in the Episcopal Church. In 2010, Stephen Mnubi, Daniel Fweda, Venuce Mazengo, and Daudi Manase were the first visitors.
