Credentials

TEAM has been a member of CrossGlobal Link (formerly IFMA) since 1945

In 1917, seven faith mission agencies came together to form the Interdenominational Foreign Mission Association (IFMA), now known as CrossGlobal Link. This charter meeting took place in Princeton, NJ.

From that small cluster of East coast mission leaders, CrossGlobal Link has grown into a vast North American-wide association of mission agencies and churches that together field over 15,500 missionaries around the globe.

Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (EFCA)

TEAM, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, has been a member in good standing of ECFA since April 2005.

The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability is an accreditation agency to promote fiscal integrity and sound financial practices among member organizations. Founded in 1979, it comprises over 2,000 evangelical Christian organizations which qualify for tax-exempt, nonprofit status and receive tax- deductible contributions. As of the end of 2010, the total income of ECFA member organizations is reported to be approximately $15 billion.

TEAM is a member of the Christian Leadership Alliance (CLA), an association that serves more than 9,000 members working in more than 4,500 organizations worldwide. The former Christian Management Association and the former Christian Stewardship Association joined together in April 2008 to create Christian Leadership Alliance—the nation's leading resource for enhancing the organizational effectiveness of churches and para-church ministries.

CLA seeks to build the body of Christ by building people—enhancing the effectiveness of Christian organizations and large churches. We recognize that organizational effectiveness begins with individuals, and that the role of the leader as a faithful steward belongs to all who are called to serve through governance, leadership, management or resource development.

Generous Giving is a privately funded ministry that seeks to encourage givers of all income levels to experience the joy of giving and embrace a lifestyle of generosity, according to God’s word and Christ’s example. It was launched in 2000 by the Maclellan Foundation to stir a renewed, Spirit-led commitment to generosity among Christians. Generous Giving does not solicit donations.
