Is God Calling You?

Is God calling you to leverage your life overseas? Are you challenged at the thought of people groups who have not heard the hope of Christ? Do you believe this hope is for all people and should come in a form and context that fits their culture? Are you willing to sacrifice your own comforts and culture in order to bring this Good News to the unreached? Are you prepared to be bi-vocational to become part of the communities you are called to reach?

If this is you, bring your gifts, talents & vision to join a global team from many nations living their faith within communities without access to the Gospel, in such a way that new believers don't leave their culture to follow Jesus.

What Could You Do?

Available platforms include TEACHING, SAFE WATER, HEALTHCARE and more. A major portion of your ministry will be prayer walking and learning language and culture while looking for open doors and bridges for the Gospel in this people group. You will be following the lead of the local field partners. As relationships are established, discipleship can begin even before people have come to follow Christ, and as people learn about Jesus you can encourage them to share what they are learning with family and close friends. You will look for resources, networks and opportunities for partnerships with other organizations and individuals as you develop strategies for multiplying movements.


Are We a Good Fit?

Global Teams is led by multi-cultural leaders from five different continents. We send Field Partners from both the Global North and the Global South. Our international composition positions us closer to the least reached, enabling proximate (nearby) sending while the diversity of cultures, languages and experience combine to enhance our effectiveness.

OUR MISSION:  We equip and send field partners from many nations to multiply disciples of Jesus within cultures least familiar with the Gospel.

Our vision comes from the example of Jesus. John writes, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” God became fully human in Jesus, leaving the privileges of heaven and taking on the culture and language of a first century Jew. He is both model and mandate for our vision to pursue mission strategies and lifestyles that are intentionally incarnational among the cultures we seek to reach.

 

Who we are. Three women dancing

In Revelation 5, every tribe, language, people and nation are gathered before the throne in worship. Diversity in culture and language are clearly part of God’s redemptive plan. In like manner, Global Teams pursues a diversity of languages and cultures among our Field Partners and we implement strategies that honor the cultures we serve.

OUR VISION: To See the Heart of Christ in the Skin of Every Culture.
