The college campus is one of the greatest mobilization hotpots on earth! Imagine the potential as students are discerning their future and they learn how God invites them to join Him in the mission of reaching every tribe, tongue, and language with the good news of Jesus. The Traveling Team capitalizes on this unique opportunity, by sharing with students from the Bible about God's heart for the nations, showing the need in God's world, and inviting them to take a next step. I've seen their presentations be used by God as a catalyst for students joining in with God's mission!

The Traveling Team was a fun and friendly breath of fresh air for our young adults (20s) ministry; their exhilarating commitment to this call that is so much bigger than all of us was an encouraging challenge - issued not by a heavy-handed script, but rather through the testimony of their own lives.

It was through The Traveling Team when I first heard through God’s Word, from Genesis to Revelation, about God’s heart for the nations. I loved how they were able to show from a big picture what God thinks of reaching the lost all around the world. I am grateful for their ministry and for the time they spend with our students. Always a great inspiration and encouragement to them and myself.

The Traveling Team does an excellent job explaining God's heart for the nations through Scripture. This team connects well with students and encourages them to go to the world in the context of your particular ministry. I have witnessed them sharing with both small groups and large ones with great ability to motivate young people to be on mission!

The Traveling Team is committed to seeing students live a life on mission for God. I have yet to see a group share the Father's heart for the world in a more compelling way. We're grateful for this ministry and the ability to partner with them in reaching and mobilizing the university campus.

I love the Traveling Team! They bring such a comprehensive Biblical lens to God's heart and mission for all people that engages students who have never thought about world missions, to those who have already served. It's deeply theological and practical. It gives me such a good framework for further conversations with my students. I so appreciate TTT and their work.

The Traveling Team has been coming to the University at Buffalo for over 10 years and sharing the message of missions and God's heart for the Kingdom to ALL NATIONS with BASIC (Brothers and Sisters in Christ). In a world trying to push God out of everything, it is even more crucial that the message of the gospel and God's saving grace is shared with ALL NATIONS. The Travelling Team does an incredible job sharing God's heart on missions as well as equipping college students with resources to step into God's mission field. With the nations literally coming to our doorsteps at universities, the Traveling Team provides a clear message and plan on how to reach the Nations. BASIC Buffalo is proud to have a partnership with this incredible ministry.

One of our leadership students has been very faithful to serve God and his people in our ministry. One thing she was unwilling to do was take the Gospel elsewhere--her parents don't know Jesus and fundraising was too high of a hurdle. At the end of the spring semester The Traveling Team arrived on her campus. Hearing about God's heart for the world from a fresh new voice and meshing it with her own experience of Jesus lit a fire in her to take the Gospel to the nations. She quickly landed on a summer trip to the 10-40 window, tearfully jumped into the fray with her folks, and got on a plane. I highly recommend allowing The Traveling Team to serve your ministry by pointing out again the biblical truth that we are blessed to be a blessing.

As a Team Leader with Cru, I have enjoyed having The Traveling Team come onto several of our universities in the Milwaukee Metro area for nearly two decades now.  They are a fresh new voice to our students; speaking on God's heart for the world and the need for missions and missionaries.  My wife and I personally enjoy housing the team and getting to know them while they are with us.

God used The Traveling Team when I was a student at the University of Northern Iowa to give me a picture of how big He is and how much He loves the nations. Their stories of missionaries who trusted a big God for big things forever changed my life. Now, I love having them come and pass on that same vision to our students as we ask God to raise up world-changers in our ministry!

Thank you to The Traveling Team from the Navigators at Oregon State.  For over a decade, as I have worked on campus with the Navigators, The Traveling Team has played a key role in helping us mobilize students with a vision for the world, as well as helping me personally sharpen my ability to point Jesus loving students toward God's heart for the World.

From the time of their arrival to when they leave, The Traveling Team is a blessing.  They seek to not only be a blessing to your students but also your staff team.  They encouraged our vision for the nations and were a breath of fresh air to host.

It was a pleasure to have The Traveling Team come to Syracuse University.  They did a great job connecting with our students and sharing the Biblical vision of the heart of God for all nations.  In addition, the follow up time was effective in explaining practical ways of how to translate knowledge into action.

We continue to have The Traveling Team come back regularly and speak with our students.  They share God's heart for ALL people in a way that compels the students to believe that they have a part in the Great Commission.  Each time, we have had several students participate with us in global missions and gain such a valuable perspective.  We are very thankful for The Traveling Team!

We always look forward to The Traveling Team coming to visit College City. We get so "busy" it can be so easy to forget to pray for or even think about the nations. Every time they visit, we are encouraged and challenged to love then nations in very practical, easy ways. I have even began praying for an unreached people group daily through a suggested app. God is doing special things through The Traveling Team and we are so thankful we get to partner with them.

ETBU Athletics had the opportunity to host The Traveling Team during the Spring 2019 semester for FCA. Their unique presentation and encouragement to college students to use their God-given talents and abilities to share their faith with others, aligns perfectly with our mission at ETBU. We strive to enable and allow our student-athletes to use sports to reach the world for Christ through our Tiger Athletic Mission Experience (TAME) and The Traveling Team drove this home to our students.
