TEAMTrek

TEAMTrek  provides an opportunity to serve as an intern while being mentored by an experienced missionary.  The Trekker invests two years working on a ministry team under the supervision of a veteran missionary-coach.  Trekkers will engage in actual ministry while learning both language and culture, growing in their cross-cultural ministry skills, and developing personal spiritual disciplines.

 

  • We want to pray and walk with you…
  • First and foremost, we want to listen as you share your journey.
  • We want to pray with and for you.  And we want to connect you to opportunities to serve that you may never have imagined existed.
  • As you seek His will for you, we want to develop a relationship with you and rejoice at how the Lord may be leading you to get involved in his mission.
  • TEAMTrek offers you an opportunity to serve God overseas for two years. Through a highly relational mentoring program, TEAM missionaries will come alongside you and walk with you as you discover the joys and challenges of overseas missionary service.

Current TEAMTrek Opportunities are:

The Merauke Community Center
Papua, Indonesia

The Indonesian government has enabled the homesteading of its largest island, Papua, by largely Muslim “trans-migrants” from other over-populated cities.

This influx of non-native people’s has provided a unique opportunity for the Papuan Church to relationally demonstrate the Body of Christ to those who have never experienced it. A community center in Merauke, a city of 72,000 on Papua’s southeastern coast, has begun to provide relationship building, HIV/AIDS prevention training, English teaching, computer and business skills training. These activities provide an open door for transplanted Muslims to live in a positive daily relationship with vibrant followers of Christ.

This may be the opportunity to let your life point a Muslim “trans-migrant” to Jesus Christ.

The Asia Minority “Musical” People
North Asia

The “Musical” people are a group of minority people hidden away from much of the modern march of technology. They live a traditional, agrarian life-style in Northern Asia. The Body of Christ is not yet present among them. TEAM is a partner in an effort to see the Body of Christ rooted in the soil of these remote villages. We are seeking people who will invest time into learning the culture and language of these people so that the future songs they sing will be full of praise to the Son of God.

Professional skills and qualifications in all areas of business, industry and cultural anthropology will create legitimate opportunities for workers who choose to live among this colorful people.

Perhaps God has chosen and gifted you to go where His Gospel has not yet been heard – his Son not yet seen.

HIV/AIDS Initiative
Zimbabwe/Mozambique

Because the church, the Body of Christ, IS the answer, TEAM workers serve within the churches of Zimbabwe and neighboring Mozambique…encouraging, enabling, equipping, responding with skill and compassion to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. An alliance of individuals, churches, and small non-governmental organizations is currently forming to help those surviving in the wake of this deadly storm called HIV/AIDS. TEAM workers touch Zimbabweans through educational programs, medical testing and treatment, assisting parentless households led by teenagers, and caring for orphans who have no one to love them. TEAM believes that the church and community represent the best long-term solution for the orphaned generation of Africa.

Perhaps “Zimbabwe/Mozambique” is your answer to the question, “What can I do, Lord! … and where?”

Turkey

With seventy-two million Muslims, and just three thousand Christians, this ministry is located in one of the largest unreached nations in the world.  Despite the barriers to Christianity, some local people are counting the cost and coming to Christ and identifying themselves with the church. TEAM's strategy in this ministry is to provide a permanent place of worship for both expat and national congregations, to nurture believers, and to share the gospel with the unreached. TEAM workers have a presence in the community through a café and tourist center, and reach nationals through ESL clubs.  A camp for third culture kids has the potential to grow into a long-term camping and retreat ministry that could serve youth from national congregations.

Mexico

The Baja peninsula is a booming tourist destination.  Thriving hotels, resorts, restaurants and nightclubs offer secure employment for Mexicans facing a changing economy.  As workers migrate to Baja, they sever family ties, traditions, and values.  Inexpensive drugs and alcohol dull the pain of loneliness for a time but open the door to the deeper problems of abuse, divorce, and suicide.  TEAM missionaries are building solid churches  in the midst of the despair of Baja's tourist towns, such as in the capital of Baja, La Paz, and in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.  TEAM missionaries are also developing a network of cell churches on the mainland of Mexico, in Guadalajara.

Japan

Bringing the light of Christ to an advanced society in spiritual need Japan is a culturally and technologically advanced nation that appears to be upwardly evolving, but remains a land of spiritual darkness. The hopelessness of the polytheistic religion of Shinto and the non-theistic philosophies of Buddhism have consistently resisted the light of the Gospel and thwarted the growth of Christianity.  It has instead created an atmosphere of despair evidenced by one of the highest suicide rates in the developed world, an alarming level of teen sexual activity, and an epidemic of social withdrawal syndrome.

This country, where only .5% of the population is Christian, needs missionaries to preach the gospel alongside their Japanese brothers and sisters in Christ.  We want to connect with you about the purposes God might have for you together with us in Japan for the building up of His church, the glorification of His name, and the salvation of needy souls.

Philippines

In the Philippines, TEAM partners with Asian believers in equipping and deploying Filipinos and Asians to initiate church multiplication movements among the least reached peoples in Asia and beyond. This is an “out of the box” ministry designed to help Asians reach their neighboring peoples for Christ. This is accomplished through the Church Planting Institute (CPI). You can help train church planters capable of training trainers of church planters for church multiplication in Tarlac/Pangasinan provinces, the Philippines and in Southeast Asia.

Come along side current students of CPI as co-workers/co-learners.  Contribute as possible to the process of planting a new church through evangelism, personal discipleship and participation in “bayanihan” evangelism (teamwork evangelism) with the CPI students and graduates, contribute any specific skills the Trekker may have that will enhance the church planting process, take active part in the ministry life of a local Filipino church.  Trekker will learn Tagalog language by immersion in the culture and language, but will also be able to use some English language in ministry.
