WHY SHORT-TERM TEAMS?: Team are designed to help meet the physical and spiritual needs of our missionary partners and the communities in which they serve. We believe that command of Christ to go into all the world has not changed but we are certainly aware and respect the many challenges that exist nationally and globally. We will absolutely do our best to take all the necessary precautions and work with our missionary hosts to adjust to the local guidelines but where there are needs and requests from our missionary partners and hosts, we want to provide an opportunity for those who are willing and able to go and help meet the needs.
