Team Expansion was born out of prayer and continues to be sustained and strengthened through conversations with the Father. Pray that He would add committed prayer partners to the Prayer Force so we might reach our goal of 1000 intercessors.

Pray for the 6,900 unreached people groups to hear the Gospel, believe, repent, be baptized, and share with others. Pray for 1000 baptisms mission wide.

Rejoice in the Lord for prayer partners who persistently intercede for unreached peoples. Ask God to insure these 80 church planting movements are underpinned and circled in prayer.

Praise God for the 340 Team Expansion workers dotted across the globe creating environments for church planting movements. Pray the Spirit would move mightily through these workers to start 80 such movements among unreached people groups this year.

International Services is Team Expansion’s home office in Louisville, KY. Give thanks for 30-40 individuals who serve daily in tasks from doing background checks to designing prayer cards, from interviewing applicants to stuffing envelopes, from holding pre-departure interviews to circling up in prayer around those workers on home service. Pray for diligence in the small tasks which daily contribute to making an impact among unreached people groups and achieving the goal 80 church planting movements by the end of 2015..

Team Expansion has 14 Field Coordinators that oversee 73 field teams and 300+ workers postured to launch 80 church planting movements by the end of 2015 – praise God! Pray for each Field Coordinator to improve communication and resources for the benefit of teams to be fruitful in creating an environment for a church planting movement to spring up among unreached peoples.

Today is reserved for Team Expansion’s Day of Prayer and Fasting. As the staff members gather,  may they be focused on God’s heart for the nations, eager to participate in worship and intercession for the lost, the persecuted, their fellow laborers in the field, and organizational goals.

Give thanks for an outstanding Training Team.Team Expansion believes that training in fruitful practices for life, ministry and church planting will yield success for cross-cultural workers.  A dream and desire we have longed for is a Discipleship Training School. Ask God to orchestrate the details to launch a DTS and bring together trainers and mentors to make this happen.

The Connections program helps link churches and short term volunteers with Team Expansion field workers in order to advance the Great Commission among unreached people groups around the world. Participants primarily serve the field team, pray for the area, and advance the work of the existing ministry. Pray for the planning and implementing of three Connections trips this year.

God is so gracious and has an unending collection of resources to thrust out new workers and maintain servants for years to come. There is a plethora of wealth in our churches, yet many workers struggle to stay in mission work due to lack of funding. Ask God to open up the hearts of His people to give generously and sacrificially to their favorite Team Expansion worker(s) so that more unreached peoples may hear the Gospel because of that worker.
