LOUIE GIGLIO
PASSION MOVEMENT, AUTHOR

Since 1999 The Traveling Team has been circling the U.S. challenging college students to live out of the box for the Glory of God among the nations. I cheer them on as they are one of the most strategic mobilization movements of this generation.

 

DAVID PLATT
PASTOR, AUTHOR, FORMER PRESIDENT OF IMB

I distinctly remember when I first read The 10 Modules and God gripped my heart with His passion for His glory in all nations through it. I praise God for its influence on my life, and I pray that God will continue to use The Traveling Team to mobilize multitudes to live for His fame among all peoples.

TOM LIN
InterVarsity Vice President, Director of Urbana, and Lausanne International Deputy Director

Passionate about both students and God’s mission around the world, The Traveling Team is one of the most effective organizations doing missions mobilization on college campuses. I highly commend them to you.

Executive Director of Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization

I love The Traveling Team!  Their passion for connecting every Christ-following university student with their unique role in Global Mission is infectious and strategic.  Too many laborers are on the sideline.  The Traveling Team is challenging them to get in the game as Givers and Goers.  Praise God!

DAN ALLAN
CRU, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF MISSION EXPANSION

The Traveling Team's heart for God, vision for the Great Commission, and love for students shine through every time they join local groups. They humbly seek to learn the sending interest of the receiving ministry and work that into their presentation so that every time they present, they are supporting and strengthening local ministries.

STEVE MOORE
president of nexleader, former President and CEO of Missio Nexus

I don’t know of any organization that engages more university students more effectively with God’s heart for the nations than The Traveling Team.  I’ve drawn on the expertise of their leadership to help our network better understand next generation leaders and commend their ministry to you.

Crystal MARTIN
Cross-Cultural Missions Director CHI ALPHA

"I cannot think of a better ministry than The Traveling Team. XA missions would not exist without their work. They offer the Word and that’s how you mobilize students.”

 

SCOTT MARTIN
NATIONAL DIRECTOR CHI ALPHA

The Traveling Team has been and continues to be the most effective communicator of God’s heart for the peoples of the world to the collegiate population. Their model of excellence in presentation, cooperation, and servant leadership has effectively served the vision of campus ministries across the United States in a significant manner. Only in heaven will we truly know the depth of global impact TTT has made for the Kingdom of God.

MARK GAUTHIER
VICE PRESIDENT CRU NORTH AMERICA, OCEANIA

The Traveling Team has been an excellent partner for Cru as we continue to challenge students and faculty to consider what God is calling them to do and where God is calling them to go in light of the Great Commission.

 

PAUL BORTHWICK
MOBILIZER AND AUTHOR

“If you are looking for a modern day version of the Student Volunteer Movement, look no further than The Traveling Team.  The strength of these young adults is their passion for Christ, their passion to mobilize the church to reach the unreached, and their life-example which invites others to join them as they prepare to go to the ends of the earth”

ROGER HERSHEY
VETERAN CRU STAFF FOR 40 YEARS

Staff with Cru love having The Traveling Team come to their campuses. The vision and heart for the world are communicated with such Biblical clarity, power and compassion that students walk away thinking about their role in God's global purposes more than ever. TTT gives our local movements a huge boost by reinforcing what we want to inflame their hearts with and offering practical direction to help them take the next step. I am convinced that the Lord has raised up The Traveling Team at this time in history uniquely to cast the vision, educate and help thrust out the laborers to finally finish the Great Commission in this generation. We eagerly partner with them. No other ministry I know casts the vision, motivates and challenges students better than TTT. Really!

DR. MARK YOUNG
PRESIDENT OF DENVER SEMINARY

The Traveling Team is passionate about mobilizing students to engage in God's mission in the world. They communicate clearly from the Scriptures and connect with students in a way that motivates them to seek God and his purpose above all else.

JEff Lewis
Author, National Missions Speaker

The Traveling Team captures the global context of God's mandate given to every follower of Christ, and clearly articulates His truth to an audience that is paramount in the advancement of Christ's Kingdom to the ends of the earth.

STEVE HAWTHORNE
SPEAKER, EDITOR OF THE PERSPECTIVES ON THE WORLD CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT READER

...they help reengage everyone in the significance of becoming God's greatest accomplishment: a world entirely evangelized.

DR. BILL JONES
Chancellor AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF COLUMBIA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY

For the last decade, The Traveling Team has served as a passionate voice for calling college students to make Christ famous among the nations. During that time, they have gained a reputation as a strategic force for mobilizing university students to reach the unreached with the message of God’s love and forgiveness.

DR. RALPH WINTER
FOUNDER OF U.S. CENTER FOR WORLD MISSION

They are invading campuses with real impact. I know of no other approach that is that serious. This kind of activity was the very essence of the famous Student Volunteer Movement. Welcome Back!

Steve Shadrach
FOUNDER AND GLOBAL AMBASSADOR FOR VIA (formerly Center for Mission Mobilization)

Since its inception, I have watched God use The Traveling Team ministry on over a thousand campuses and in tens of thousands of students' lives. Today, the legacy and influence of The Traveling Team’s world vision extends to virtually every country on the planet. Only eternity will reveal the ultimate impact Todd Ahrend, Claude Hickman, and their sacrificial teams of world changers have made. The body of Christ will forever be indebted.

PAUL VAN DER WERF
FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, GOCORPS

Day in and day out, mile by mile, student by student, The Traveling Team does the hard work of going to students and giving them biblical truth and a new perspective about  this world and where they’re headed.  They are the best there is at erasing complacency and igniting vision and involvement in the Great Commission.  As a leader of an organization that sends recent grads to the least reached, I’m so thankful that The Traveling Team has consistently and unapologetically been sowing seeds of World Christian lifestyle and mission involvement over the last 15 years.  We in North America owe a great deal to The Traveling Team for their excellence and effectiveness in cultivating and mobilizing the emerging generation.

RICHARD Nelson
Missions PastOR

I have witnessed the birth and growth of The Traveling Team and have gotten to know many of their staff. What I like is their fruit of informing and inspiring college students with the life and mission of Jesus Christ and His work globally. As a missions pastor at Fellowship Bible Church their work of mobilization helps us and any local church to move our people into the world Christian highway. Students are impacted and are making decisions to become workers in the harvest. We invest in these dynamic speaker teams who travel our country helping our college kids gain vision and passion for Jesus mission to the nations. And there is such a need for our college students for a clear, simple, and compelling vision to give their life to that is significant and eternal. All Kingdom workers benefit from this.

Michael Mehaffie
Cru area director

As the CRU Director at North Carolina State University and Meredith, it has been my pleasure to invite The Traveling Team regularly to address our movement on being challenged to join God on helping to fulfill His Great Commission. They enthusiastically, selflessly, and with biblical integrity call us to Christ's mission.

Andrew N. Knight
Pastor Table ROck, Campus Outreach

Anytime I hear of The Traveling Team coming through our area I do all I can to get them in front of our Campus Outreach students. They are relevant, missional, careful, nuanced, and inspiring in all the right ways.  They are there to serve and put together a talk or weekend retreat right-fitted to the audience and preferences of the ministry they are serving. They offer excellent follow up materials and meetings with your students and seek to influence them in ways that correspond to a student's desires and maturity and the specific opportunities that particular ministry is challenging its disciples towards. Sign them up. You won't be sorry. 

Alan Marsh
Campus Outreach

Over the years, I have had The Traveling Team come through our ministry 5 times and each time has proved incredibly encouraging and profitable to our work! TTT challenges our students to think about what it means to be a World Christian, while also reinforcing many of the truths about evangelism and discipleship that we as Campus Outreach are trying to pass on to our students. Many of our students have felt spurred on to love and good deeds through them, and even a few have ended up overseas!  Hosting the team is a special joy, as our family and fellow staff are refreshed by any time we have with their staff. You will not regret an opportunity to come alongside them in ministry!

Ken Jones
Baptist Collegiate Ministry, Georgia

The Traveling Team is freeing up college students to be obedient to Jesus!  Inspired by the lives of the committed team members, taught to know the heart of God through His Word, awed by His work through collegians in the past, and challenged to be the ones to live out His story now, my students are being mobilized to touch the world for their good and the glory of Jesus.  The Traveling Team is a partner with North Georgia Baptist Collegiate Ministry to disciple students and bring joy to the world!

Walt Baker
Associate Professor Emeritus of World Missions, Dallas Theological Seminary

I have been on the missions team of our church for about 6 years and we had a breakthrough when The Traveling Team presented their one-day seminar. It was refreshing and challenging engaging all that attended to come to an understanding that missions comes from the heart of God and is for the whole church for the whole world.

Partnering with The Traveling Team has helped motivate and inspire my students to share the Gospel throughout the world! They have helped our BCM desire to reach the nations!

CAMPUS OUTREACH, TENNESSEE TECH 

The Traveling Team came to one of our weekly meetings and God Showed up! There are believers and non-believers alike at this particular meeting and through The Traveling Team sharing about being on God's mission for the world, we had a student realize that he was not all in with Jesus and decided to go all in a few days later.  I would encourage everyone to expose non-believers on their college campus to The Traveling Team because an understanding of God being a God of all the nations and a desire for us to be a part of his mission is a great way to start a relationship with Jesus Christ!

Max Barnett
BCM Colorado State Director

I am so grateful to God for The Traveling Team and how they help collegiate ministries focus on making disciples in all the nations. 

Neil Walker
USC Christian Challenge

The Traveling Team has set the pace the past 15 years in mobilizing college students to join God in making His name known among the nations. They are a joy to work with as they preach what they practice, living as World Christians and laboring to fulfill the Great Commission.

Joe G.
Pioneers USA

Every World Christian should have The Traveling Team's website bookmarked and visit it often. It is a feast for all who would understand God's global agenda and for discovering their role in the Great Commission.
