We’re spending the next few weeks highlighting Team Expansion’s support staff, International Services (IS). You’ll learn who they are, what they do, and how many people it really takes behind the scenes to keep missionaries successful, healthy, and on the field!

Some of our workers need to remain anonymous due to security concerns in closed countries they visit, but we still want to tell you about them, so we’ll use pseudonyms and won’t show their faces.
