What We Do
TEAM partners with churches to send missionaries and establish reproducing churches among the nations, to the glory of God.
It starts with movement.
Before the gospel could sink roots into the soil of an unreached land, someone had to go. Before a doctor could pull a boy’s life from the jaws of malaria, someone had to go. Before an orphan could finally feel the warmth of a human embrace, someone had to go.
There are lots of ways to do good. We believe none are as bold and none echo as loudly as God’s call on the church to go, to be physically present amid the heartbreak of our world and bring hope. We exist to help the church live out that call.
Our passion is to see God worshipped by all peoples. We partner with churches in the United States and around the world to send out workers and plant churches that will do the same. We work holistically to see churches have a broad impact across societies and cultures, with initiatives in evangelism, education, health, anti-trafficking, community development, agriculture, disaster relief and creation care. You will find our people serving in businesses, orphanages, tribal groups, urban jungles and dusty ranches.
Mobilizing disciples from anywhere to serve everywhere, we focus strategically and collaboratively to plant churches where the most need exists. We employ technology and other material resources to help us be the hands and feet of Christ, but we are unashamedly incarnational, because we believe there is no substitute for real hands and feet on the ground.
However the needs and the strategies change over time, one thing will not. We will go.
Our Values
God Dependence
We subject our lives to the truth of Scripture, and we rely on God through prayer. God provides what is necessary to carry out world evangelization. While only God can save, we speak His words, use His gifts, and reflect His love. Without constant reliance on God through prayer and obedience to His Word, we can do none of these things.
Church Focus
Our work is focused on the church from beginning to end. We engage existing churches in cooperative efforts to establish new churches worldwide, and then encourage those churches to establish even more new churches.
Vision
Christian visionaries see the immediate future in light of eternity. We see the day when the people of God from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation will be gathered around the throne of heaven, worshipping Him. Keeping our eyes on this vision, we are adaptable and flexible, gladly changing methods when appropriate.
Passionate Service
Because lost people matter to God, they matter to us. We go to serve, not to be served. We work where the Gospel is least known because we have been commanded to do so, and because people’s ultimate need is to find eternal life through a personal relationship with God.
Lifelong Learners
Character and competence are both indispensable. None of us starts with complete maturity or fully developed skills. Through lifelong learning and development, we increase our effectiveness and become what God already knows we can be. We seek to empower everyone at TEAM to reach his or her full potential.
Caring Community
People are our most valuable asset. We at TEAM relate to each other in a community characterized by unity, trust, acceptance and diversity, linking arms with God’s people wherever we find them. We are accountable to one another, evaluating ourselves regularly. The more we are a caring community, the more we demonstrate peace and brotherhood to a world torn apart by divisive hatreds.
TEAM's Purpose and Vision
Purpose: Help churches send missionaries to establish reproducing churches among the nations to the glory of God.
Vision: From everywhere to everywhere: We will establish reproducing churches wherever the most people have the greatest need in collaboration with churches anywhere.
