Company Profile
Company Overview
At World Team, we're just ordinary people serving an extraordinary God.
Our hope-filled future is bound up in sharing the story of Jesus, in discipling others, in bringing those disciples together into communities of believers, and in developing and releasing those believers to create other communities Öuntil Jesus comes again.
World Team is an interdenominational mission agency with sending centers in Australia, Canada and the US. Our 350+ members serve in 28 countries among 59 distinct people groups.
Our strategy is to focus on those areas with the least access to a culturally-relevant gospel witness. We are committed to the spiritual and physical wellbeing of the communities where we serve, and include business and community development efforts as part of our overall church planting ministry where needed.
Our passion is to see new believers discipled and brought together in community; to develop and release leaders to lead those communities, and to see those communities multiply throughout their region and the world. Simply put, to see church multiplication become the norm so that whole societies and cultures are transformed by the gospel.
One of our greatest joys has been providing assistance to newly forming missionary sending organizations in the Caribbean, Romania, Indonesia, Africa, France and the Philippines.
Company History
Our Story
The man who beats the drum does not know how far the sound will go. - Congolese Proverb
In 1995 two mission families, with a combined legacy of 200 years of missionary service, fused to become the World Team we know today. Generations of faithful saints have gone before us, carrying the gospel message to all who have ears to hear. We will never know how many listened, but we believe God blessed the effort.
Jesus invites us, "Go, work today in my vineyard." And so we continue the legacy, carrying the banner into the dark places of the earth, trusting Christ to call out His own from among the nations.
In the years since merger, God has opened wide the doors for new ministries among the working class in Taiwan, Cambodia's Khmer people, 10/40-window Internationals in NYC, and minority group peoples in Central Asia and Africa. And God is mobilizing a dynamic new missionary force from places like Indonesia, Suriname, the Philippines, and West Indies.
RBMU International traces its roots to Harley Bible College in London, founded in 1873 by the Irish revivalist H. Grattan Guinness.
Worldteam was formed in 1928 as a small Bible Institute in central Cuba by Elmer Thompson and B.G. Lavastida.
