GO TEAMS
CALLED TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOURS.
CALLED TO CALL YOUTH INTO MISSIONS.
WHAT DO WE DO?
Go Teams oversees much of the training and practical preparation that goes into getting our teams ready for ministry, both overseas and locally. We aim to send out teams that are able to hit the ground running, because they’ve already been equipped to overcome obstacles that commonly crop up within teams and in cross-cultural ministry. This equipping takes shape in general outreach education, the facilitation of team building activities, location-specific skills training, and much more.
TRAINING
To train and equip teams of young believers from all backgrounds to be witnesses of Jesus through short-term outreaches at the local, regional and global levels.
This is accomplished through outreach preparation lectures, workshops, facilitating team building activities. We are resourcing short term teams to reach long term objectives as we send wave after wave of young people into cities around the world to partner with the local church and to preach the gospel in culturally-relevant ways with clarity and compassion.
YOUTH
We want youth to see encounter God and gain a heart for missions. Through our Discipleship Camps and Burning Hearts Youth, we serve and walk alongside Australian youth and to empower them to start, develop and grow their relationship to God. To know God and make God known, through our local community, rural Australia and then to the ends of the earth.
LOCAL
To transform our local community, even as we are being transformed by Christ.
Our focus on the nations should never distract from the impact we have the moment we walk out our front door. Serving our local community in Mitchelton and Brisbane is a natural overflow of our love and pursuit of God and inseparable from our pursuit of His Kingdom around the world.
We partner with local churches, schools, organisations and individuals to serve and share the gospel.
