Our campus ministry at Kansas State University has been deeply impacted for the world wide mission of taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth through The Traveling Team. Their powerful presentation, commitment to serve our ministry, and the humble Christlike character of their staff has greatly supported our local ministry.
Joel Johnson
"We have been privileged to have The Traveling Team help serve in our campus ministries over the years and to have several of our graduates continue to work with such an amazing ministry! These men and women have a deep heart for Christ and a passion to help this generation of college students learn about God's heart for the world and to see how they can help be a part of the completion of the Great Commission! You will be greatly encouraged to have them speak with the students on your campus!"

I am excited about what this Traveling Team is doing and think that their cutting edge idea will be strategic in getting students mobilized into global missions.

Roy Baker
The Traveling Team has one of the best presentations on global missions that I have ever heard. If The Traveling Team is in the area, we will reorganize our plans to fit them into our schedule because every time they speak our students catch God’s heart for the world. Every year we send dozen’s of students from our campus into the mission field and The Traveling Team has helped to fan that flame.
Roy Baker, Missional Team Leader, 16 years on staff with Cru
Steve Shadrach
Since it’s inception, I have watched God use The Traveling Team ministry on over a thousand campuses and in tens of thousands of student’s lives. Today, the legacy and influence of The Traveling Team’s world vision extends to virtually every country on the planet. Only eternity will reveal the ultimate impact Todd Ahrend, Claude Hickman, and their sacrificial teams of world changers have made. The body of Christ will forever be indebted.

It's so easy to stay focused on what is in front of our eyes. The Traveling Team elevates our vision to consider what role we can have in the world. I have consistently been impressed by their passion, humble service and openness to feedback.

Matt Kirby
We invite The Traveling Team consistently because they do a tremendous job casting vision for world missions. They are incredibly engaging and funny and our students walk away from these meetings with a bigger picture of what it means to be a World Christian.

Ken Jones
The Traveling Team is freeing up college students to be obedient to Jesus! Inspired by the lives of the committed team members, taught to know the heart of God through His Word, awed by His work through collegians in the past, and challenged to be the ones to live out His story now, my students are being mobilized to touch the world for their good and the glory of Jesus. The Traveling Team is a partner with North Georgia Baptist Collegiate Ministry to disciple students and bring joy to the world!

Alan Marsh
Over the years, I have had The Traveling Team come through our ministry 5 times and each time has proved incredibly encouraging and profitable to our work! TTT challenges our students to think about what it means to be a World Christian, while also reinforcing many of the truths about evangelism and discipleship that we as Campus Outreach are trying to pass on to our students. Many of our students have felt spurred on to love and good deeds through them, and even a few have ended up overseas! Hosting the team is a special joy, as our family and fellow staff are refreshed by any time we have with their staff. You will not regret an opportunity to come alongside them in ministry!
Alan Marsh, Area Director Jacksonville, Campus Outreach

The Traveling Team has set the pace the past 15 years in mobilizing college students to join God in making His name known among the nations. They are a joy to work with as they preach what they practice, living as World Christians and laboring to fulfill the Great Commission.

Mike Elsner
The Traveling Team does an excellent job explaining God's heart for the nations through Scripture. This team connects well with students and encourages them to go to the world in the context of your particular ministry. I have witnessed them sharing with both small groups and large ones with great ability to motivate young people to be on mission!
Mike Elsner, Oregon State U, Athletes in Action
Josh Johns
The Traveling Team is committed to seeing students live a life on mission for God. I have yet to see a group share the Father's heart for the world in a more compelling way. We're grateful for this ministry and the ability to partner with them in reaching and mobilizing the university campus.
Josh Johns, Kansas City Metro Cru
Melissa Swalla
I love the Traveling Team! They bring such a comprehensive Biblical lens to God's heart and mission for all people that engages students who have never thought about world missions, to those who have already served. It's deeply theological and practical. It gives me such a good framework for further conversations with my students. I so appreciate TTT and their work.
Melissa Swalla, Intervarsity in Wyoming, Laramie County Community College
Tom Ryan
The Traveling Team has been coming to the University at Buffalo for over 10 years and sharing the message of missions and God's heart for the Kingdom to ALL NATIONS with BASIC (Brothers and Sisters in Christ). In a world trying to push God out of everything, it is even more crucial that the message of the gospel and God's saving grace is shared with ALL NATIONS. The Travelling Team does an incredible job sharing God's heart on missions as well as equipping college students with resources to step into God's mission field. With the nations literally coming to our doorsteps at universities, the Traveling Team provides a clear message and plan on how to reach the Nations. BASIC Buffalo is proud to have a partnership with this incredible ministry.
Tom Ryan, BASIC at U of Buffalo
David Sheehan
One of our leadership students has been very faithful to serve God and his people in our ministry. One thing she was unwilling to do was take the Gospel elsewhere--her parents don't know Jesus and fundraising was too high of a hurdle. At the end of the spring semester The Traveling Team arrived on her campus. Hearing about God's heart for the world from a fresh new voice and meshing it with her own experience of Jesus lit a fire in her to take the Gospel to the nations. She quickly landed on a summer trip to the 10-40 window, tearfully jumped into the fray with her folks, and got on a plane. I highly recommend allowing The Traveling Team to serve your ministry by pointing out again the biblical truth that we are blessed to be a blessing.
David Sheehan, Cru Director at RPI
Erik Lettner
As a Team Leader with Cru, I have enjoyed having The Traveling Team come onto several of our universities in the Milwaukee Metro area for nearly two decades now. They are a fresh new voice to our students; speaking on God's heart for the world and the need for missions and missionaries. My wife and I personally enjoy housing the team and getting to know them while they are with us.
Erik Lettner, Milwaukee Metro Cru Director
Gary Stidham
The Traveling Team consistently provides clear and engaging Bible teaching to grow our students' heart for the world.
