Why TEAM?

dotThe choice of a mission board is crucial for a missionary. Mission boards provide supervision, structure, and support to workers on the field. They keep missionaries accountable in theology, finances, and general ethics. After much prayer and research, Kyehee and I felt God's leading to serve with The Evangelical Alliance Mission (TEAM).

dotTEAM was founded in 1890 by Frederick Franson, a missionary sent out by Dwight Moody's church in Chicago. This was in response to Hudson Taylor's call for 1000 missionaries to reach China. On the way over to China, TEAM workers went through Japan. Some of them stayed, and so TEAM has had a presence in Japan since 1892.

dotWhile there have never been enough missionaries to reach Japan, TEAM has continued to proclaim Christ faithfully, and has planted over 200 churches. Today, they have around 100 missionaries working in eight regions of Japan (and over 650 worldwide).

dotNote that TEAM does not send missionaries, the church does. Our sending church is Shades Mountain Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. We are a part of their 2010 VISION to reach the world with the gospel. Read about it here.

dotWe wanted a mission board that was biblical in theology and flexible in approach to ministry. TEAM JAPAN is trying many different styles and types of outreach to share the gospel in Japan. TEAM JAPAN has a strong working relationship with three major evangelical Japanese church associations and a good reputation throughout the evangelical community.
