The Traveling Team calls students to the Great Commission in a biblical and compelling way. It's that simple! We always appreciate our students hearing this clarion call from another ministry that exposes them to diverse missions opportunities offered throughout the body of Christ.

I was first introduced to The Traveling Team in Spring of 2001 and their mantra and goals have stayed with me since. It was a no-brainer to have them back on campus speaking to this current generation of eager-to-go college students.

I know of no greater vehicle God is using in America today to stir the hearts of young leaders for the Great Commission. As I travel abroad and speak with missionaries, I always ask them, "How did God get a hold of you for the purpose of reaching other countries for Christ?" If I only had a dollar for every time someone said, "Have you ever heard of The Traveling Team?"

We have had The Traveling Team with our ministry with The Navigators at Cal-State Long Beach. I found them to be biblical, inspirational, and relational. I heartily endorse them if you desire a clear biblical presentation highlighting our mandate to go to the nations!

"We make it a priority to get The Traveling Team on our ministry schedule whenever possible. The focused attention on God's heart for the nations throughout the Bible & the great follow-up work with interested students always helps us to grow missions momentum."
JON CHANNELL, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA NAVIGATORS
Mike Buchanan
INSPIRING and ENGAGING... The Traveling Team is not a self-promoting ministry, as they share the need to reach all the nations for Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. They promote the need for missions and various mission organizations to reach our world with the gospel; showing any person how they can use their giftedness to serve on a mission. They are "eye-openers" for people to respond to the Great Commission, which is the duty of all believers.
Rev. Mike Buchanan, Athletes in Action, Campus Director at UCLA
Jonathan Kennerson
"The Traveling Team beautifully serves campus ministries by casting our mission to reach the campus in the larger context of God's heart to reach the whole world. And not only that, they put the larger context of reaching the nations into the even larger meta-narrative of God's purposes throughout human history, namely blessing us to be a blessing to all creation. They are able to tie the campus to the world to God's purposes throughout history and launch into tangible next steps like no other missions presentation I've seen before."
Jonathan Kennerson, InterVarsity, University of Maine
Greg Baker
Our students love The Traveling Team. They were so encouraging, motivating, and challenging. Student after student kept talking about the need to reach those in the 10/40 window. May God continue to use The Traveling Team to motivate and encourage students all over the United States!
Greg Baker, InterVarsity, University of Delaware

The Traveling Team was comprehensive in explaining God's heart for missions as found throughout the Bible while being incredibly engaging. Their after-meeting meeting was hands-on and visual. Every time they come, they get our students thinking and asking how God wants to use them in world missions!
Emily, Cru University of New Hampshire
Jason Morris
The Traveling Team is super easy to work with and a great way to expose students to what is on God's heart.

Jon Saunders
We all know that college students are the key to reaching the unreached peoples of the world. The question is if we will be faithful in mobilizing them to actually go. The Traveling Team is deeply committed to not hypothetically having students go, but to actually seeing them launched into a life of missionary service. I commend them to all who are committed to this same vision.

"The Traveling Team helped provide incredible momentum to our campus ministry and we saw many students respond to the challenge of becoming World Christians. We are so thankful for how the biblical explanation for world missions was creatively and passionately shared."

Dag Sewell, PhD,
No matter how busy I get, whenever we've had The Traveling Team come, I am always glad we scheduled them. The Traveling Team says exactly what I would like to say about missions if I could devote more of my time to studying missions, and its coming from my students' peers!
Dag Sewell, PhD, ENMU BSU Christian Challenge Director

“Every time The Traveling Team comes through our area we are excited to have them speak. We know that we will get a quality presentation that moves us forward as a ministry in the mission of sending students to the world.”
Gerhard Esterhuizen, Marshall University, Cru
Reid Jilek
"Every time The Traveling Team is around Minneapolis we book them. They are relevant, biblical, and winsome as they share God's heart for the world. They also provide practical next steps for students to grow in understanding their place in God’s mission. The beautiful thing is that the Traveling Team comes into what you are already doing and tailor what they do to your setting. They have done a missions night for us, spoke at a weekly meeting, and even had dinner with our team before the presentation. The Traveling Team staff has either been overseas or are about to go overseas, and spend a year mobilizing students outside of that. I am so thankful for The Traveling Team and how they keep missions and the world in front of our students."
Reid Jilek, Campus Outreach Area Director, MN
Karlayne Powars
The Traveling team was a great resource for our campus. They brought lift to our conversations about reaching the world and challenged our students in a way that we could not on our own. And they brought a renewed vision for our staff. An all around wonderful experience.

Jake Mlsna
"There is something powerful about our students hearing about God's heart for the world from someone other than our staff. The Traveling Team does such a good job using Scripture to paint the picture of God's heart for the world and the part we as believers are able to play in the story. Anytime they are in the area we say yes to having them come because it is such an important message and they communicate it with passion and clarity."
Jake Mlsna, Southern Minnesota Cru
Dusty Hoffman
There is nothing else in the Kingdom that I know of that is like The Traveling Team. These guys are like a glorious tornado-they come in, lift high God's heart for the nations, and blow out leaving a big impact in their wake. I never worry when The Traveling Team is around because they are top notch in every way. They understand students, and they understand the heart of God.
Dusty Hoffman, Cru, Sioux Empire, South Dakota.
Nick Peterson
Seven years ago I was exposed to and seriously impacted by The Traveling Team's vision for missions mobilization. It's engaging, powerful, winsome, thoroughly grounded in the Scriptures, and centered on our great God and His glory among the nations. I love every time they come to share with the students I lead and minister to.
Nick Peterson, The Navigators at South Dakota State University
Steven Skalman
The Traveling Team has helped mobilize students involved in my local ministry. I am encouraged how they clearly present God's heart for all the nations and genuinely care for students as they challenge them to go meet needs of the world.
