International work team in Ghana.

Work Teams

Work teams support the vision of international church partners by providing physical and financial resources to help them construct needed facilities. More importantly, work team participants walk alongside international partners, building relationships that can serve as the beginning of future mission partnerships.

Work teams have helped construct churches in rural Ghana, a Bible institute facility in Benin, and college and seminary facilities serving African-Initiated Churches in West Africa. They come to work for Christ. But they find Christ already at work through local Christians.

Construction experience is not necessary. Participants mostly interact with fellow Christians, visit ministry locations and worship in local congregations. Work team members cover their travel costs and give additional money to cover the local church's construction costs. Although a few trips are self-funded, most participants raise the funds through their congregations, family and friends. The experience allows congregations to participate in global mission in ways that weren't possible before.

Accommodations are simple, in accordance with local settings.
