Overheard
Hear what these Christian leaders say about International Teams . . .
Brian McLaren
Pastor at Cedar Ridge Community Church, author, senior leader in Emergent
"IT pays attention to "the big issues" - it's concerned with being culturally sensitive and showing respect for the indigenous church and its leaders. It's an organization of reflective practitioners - people who work AND think about what they do. Yet IT is also an organization with a heart. Its people - from board members to administrative staff to missionaries - have always impressed me as being sensitive to the value of each individual person - each child, each woman, each man - and each missionary too."
Dave Livermore
Executive Director of the Global Learning Center at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, Co-Founder of Intersect
"In the mission world, it's en vogue to talk about missional living, holistic ministry, community, and serving missionary movements from the developing world. But the more I encounter the IT family in different pockets of the world, the more convinced I am that these are the things embedded in the very DNA of International Teams. Everywhere I go, I find myself unabashedly referring people to IT. IT isn't an American organization cloaked as an international one. It's truly an international family, led and shaped by its 800+ missionaries FROM
32 countries TO 53 countries."
