In 2018 we celebrated our 40th anniversary. Every day for 40 years we have prayerfully labored to Multiply Disciples and Churches Among the Unreached. Every day, God teaches us something new. Let’s explore where we’ve been and where God is calling us until the Great Commission is accomplished.

We Were Born From Extraordinary Prayer
The idea for Team Expansion was born in 1978, during a small prayer meeting at a Bible college in Eastern Kentucky. There were eight guys in a crowded dorm room and all of them signed their names on a world map. Our president, Doug Lucas, happened to sign beside the country of Uruguay. Four years later, Team Expansion fielded its first team, to Uruguay, by God's grace.
Our Purpose Hasn't Changed Much
We Want Every Person to Hear and Respond to the Gospel
But over the years, God has grown our team and refined our approach. In 2018 we had 300+ missionaries serving in 40+ countries, we are multiplying disciples and churches among the unreached on a huge scale. With strategies like Disciple-Making Movements, Community Health Evangelism, and Media to Movement, we are seeing an unprecedented response.
