Short-term Teams

Why are short-term teams important to a ministry that seeks to facilitate church planting movements? Primarily, these teams provide important ministry assistance to a Czech church plant. Short-term teams can help a Czech church plant build relational bridges and share the Gospel with non-Christians. They also provide much needed encouragement to Czech Christians laboring in hard soil.

Short-term teams are not just a benefit for the Czech church, however. The reality is that such teams almost always present a win-win scenario for both parties. It is a win for the local church plant in that teams provide ministry assistance for churches working hard to see people come to know Christ in a country where less than one-fifth of one percent (.17%) of Czech inhabitants are members of evangelical churches. It’s also a win for the incoming teams in the sense that rarely do people return home exactly the same. Ministry in the name of Christ in another culture has a way of changing people.
