As extremist groups actively recruit young, vulnerable men into their schemes, pray that God would bring them into contact with faithful believers who will show them in Christ the grace and acceptance they have been seeking.

 Many Team Expansion workers live in situations that make schooling for their children VERY difficult. Ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up tutors and teachers for missionary families

The Japanese is only one of over 6,500 people groups who do not know Jesus. Ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up workers to take the Gospel to over 2 billion people who have not heard about Jesus. Pray for God’s mercy, for revival, and for spiritual awakening worldwide. Ask God to help Team Expansion to multiply disciples among the unreached.

Please join in praying for the safety of  field workers and national believers, some of whom are living daily in the midst of threats to their lives. Praise God that He is their Protector. Pray that , as an organization, might be successful in implementing security measures and training that will enhance the safety of workers around the world.

Team Expansion exists to multiply disciples and churches among the unreached. Ask God to empower this organization, by His might and His power, to do just that as we aim toward 24 disciple-making movements by 2024. Ask God to instruct us and teach us in the way we should go.

Pray for 24 Disciple Making Movements by 2024. Gor several years, Team Expansion has been asking God for 80 Biblical church planting movements among the unreached by the end of 2015. God answered by setting up the environments for 77 such movements among unreached people groups! A new goal is set to see 24 DMMs among unreached people groups by the end of 2024. Lift this goal up to the One who is more than able to accomplish it.

Since Team Expansion’s vision of 80 Church Planting Movements by 2015 wrapped up this year, we began asking God for what we should work toward in this next season. The result was a new Vision Statement: “24 disciple-making movements by 2024, or more simply referred to as 24 4x4s by 24”. We are defining a Disciple Making Movement (DMM) as being 4 streams that have grown to the 4^th generation (4×4). A stream is essentially a relational network or series of links. A ‘generation’ is one link to another person. Pray for these 24 DMMs by the end of 2014.

Ask God to raise up professionals in veterinary medicine willing to give themselves to helping Mongolians mature in their walk with Jesus.

Praise God for the progression in translation of the New Testament in the TD language. Pray for this project to be completed and that it would be used to get the Word of God into the hearts of many TD people and lead them to Jesus.

The work in Taiwan is overwhelming. Ministering in the 10/40 window, where the most unevangelized people on earth exist, the numbers break down to 1 missionary per 500,000 lost people. First of all, pray the Lord would raise up more full time workers to join in the work. Secondly, pray that short term teams would be willing to help just a little in the work. And then pray that more people would pray for the people of Taiwan and for the missionaries laboring to reach the lost.
