Unreached People Groups Ministries

Since the beginning of the modern missionary movement, believers have preached Jesus among the unreached. Some of us live in places so saturated with Christianity, it seems unthinkable that many of these people groups remain unreached. However, less than 10 percent of the global Church’s mission efforts go to unreached people groups. And while we wait, many people are losing their chance to ever hear the Gospel. These people live in remote villages and sprawling cities. Some are open to outsiders, while others ask outsiders to earn their trust. But all have one thing in common: a desperate need for a Savior. Reaching them will require a special determination — the kind that’s willing to explore new cultures and experience failure. Is God calling you?

What We’re Looking For:

  • Passionate desire for Christ to be exalted among the nations 
  • Perseverance of spirit and willingness to be poured out for the sake of the gospel 
  • Recognition of God’s sovereignty and a robust prayer life 
  • Understands the importance of humbly submitting to others and engaging with a likeminded team 
  • Resourceful and pioneering personality

What You Should Know Before You Join

Here are some things you might want to know before you take the next step.

Connect with a Missions Coach

Why do I need a missions organization?

As a missions organization, TEAM will train and equip you as a global worker (missionary) to serve. We also support you and your family each step of the way, and provide an infrastructure that will maximize your effectiveness in missions and your partnership with local, indigenous churches.

What does training look like?

Our goal is to help you become the cross-cultural worker God made you to be. But every mission field, ministry, team, and life stage comes with unique challenges. That’s why our Learning and Development and Member Care teams work with you to create a training plan to prepare you for missions, and to continue to support you throughout your service and beyond. From the day you become a member of the TEAM community, we’re here to walk alongside you.

What do finances look like?

Depending on your length of service, ministry role, and geographic factors, the financial aspects of missions work can vary greatly. In all cases, TEAM provides financial guidance, as well as helpful tools, resources, and training for support raising.

What is the first step?

Whether you are just beginning to feel a call to something bigger than yourself, or you’ve had a destination and ministry in mind for years, the best first step is to connect with a missions coach to start the conversation. There is no pressure, no obligation, no defined timeline, and no need to have it “all figured out.”
