SOCIAL JUSTICE MINISTRIES

The little slave girl in South Asia needs Christ’s deliverance urgently — and we are called to be His hands and feet. The trafficked sex work-er in Austria desperately needs to know about the love of the Father. But who will take it to her? HIV orphans in Lesotho need the hope of Jesus. And that’s exactly what the Church is called to embody.

At TEAM, we believe in justice for the oppressed because we serve a God of justice. When we right the wrongs in our human systems, we are showing God’s love and intention for the world in a concrete way. If your heart longs to see social justice permeate the earth, we want to help you pursue God’s call.

FROM THE FIELD

“Helping the whole person with education, water, food or a skill is the way to build relationships. Then, through that friendship, faith kernels can be planted. ... People are open to hearing about faith if they’ve seen you care and demonstrate concern for the needs in their lives.”
