What does God have for you next?
TEAMtrek can help you find out.

TEAMtrek is more than a typical short-term trip. Get ready to peel back the layers of cultural barriers so you can see, hear, and love like Jesus. Witness His work around the world and you won’t come back the same. God is in the transformation business, and all it takes is to step out in faith and spend time pursuing Him.

TEAMtrek is an invitation to Experience missions, Discover your calling, and Journey with Jesus.

 

How Does it Work?

TEAMtrek connects you to join one of our teams worldwide for 6 weeks to 12 months on the field. You’ll get the mentoring required for engaging cross-culturally and join established ministries to learn and join in what God is doing in that context. Whether it’s the desert, jungle, or urban environments, we believe Jesus is King and His love transforms. Our team will walk you through the application process, pray for you, help you fundraise, and prepare you for the adventure God has for you.
