Part 2: Reasons 4-7
-
Obedience to the Great Commission
Matt 28:19-20 ” Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Team Expansion helps you obey the great commission by going to all nations, baptizing and teaching them to obey as you obey.
-
Kingdom Bringing
Matt 24:14 “And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.”
Rather than continuing to go where the Gospel has already been taken, Team Expansion is helping to bring about His Kingdom, by taking the Gospel to the unreached nations.

Meets the needs of the poor
Matt 25:40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me.”
Team Expansion helps our workers empower the poor and teach them how to be self-sustaining both physically and spiritually.
Most unreached people groups are in remote places where people are poor and life is difficult, which is one of the reasons they are unreached. So, in these cases, the poorest of the poor physically are also the poorest of the poor spiritually.
Team Expansion helps our workers empower the poor and teach them how to be self-sustaining both physically and spiritually, while giving all glory to the One true God.

Hands-on Mission Field
Matt 25:20-21 ” And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Psalm 90:17 “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!”
The traditional check-writing approach to mission is very important. However, it can often become unfocused and divided among many workers that a church may not have a relationship with or even know and limits the growth that can come from actually being part of the work.
The church is capable of so much more!
Through our PACE program, Team Expansion helps you start your very own disciple-making movement among an unreached people group from scratch!
This provides opportunities to exercise all the talents God has given your church body into a fruitful investment.
This provides opportunities to exercise all the talents God has given your church body into a fruitful investment. It allows everyone in your church to get involved, to become permanent or short-term workers and enables you to see the Lord moving through your efforts up close and personal.
This can become a field that you can frequently visit over the life of the work and see it grow. It will be an off-shoot branch from your own church body.
