"As a member of the U.S. Center for World Mission which is a mobilization organization, my concentrated trust with this web site is to encourage, direct, and organize those who are called to become active participants with Mission Team Opportunities all over the world.

I have been a career missionary in the Amazon of Brazil for 20 years. I began my missionary career over thirty years ago. Back when we were taught how to write a one page prayer letter. (they said that nobody would want to read more than one page!) Now, 30 years later, we publish newsletters with multiple pages that are able to challenge the most uninspired into inspiration with missions activity and opportunities that are taking place all over the world. When the uninspired become inspired some of them will go the the web sites for their knowledge and direction. That is why Mission Teams.com will be there to "put the wheels in motion."

Working on the U.S. Center for World Mission in Pasadena, CA for the past three years has broadened my vision even farther as a career missionary. Being the voice at William Carey Library for the last two years, I have heard the "waking world" of potential missionary candidates desire to know more about how they can become directly involved with missions. As I would talk to them, I could hear the "heart cry of the Father" saying to the church - "SEND THEM FORTH as I sent my own Son to you." The final goal of reaching a harvest field can take many months and sometimes years. I would like to assist them by a click of the mouse to a field and organization where they can become involved.

Now stationed in Raleigh NC at the U.S. Center for World Mission Southeast office I will be working with alumni of the Perspective on the World Christian Movement classes. This site is dedicated to the alumni who are reaching out in action to the harvest fields in their Jerusalem, Judea and the to Uttermost parts of the earth."
