"I very much look forward to when The Traveling Team will be in our neck of the woods! They do an incredible job of communicating God's heart for the lost, the role of missions and how our students need to make this a part of the rest of their lives."
Todd McClure
The course of my life was forever changed when I first heard The Traveling Team talk during my sophomore year of college. Now more than a decade later, I still continue to partner with them, having witnessed dozens of students commit their lives to missions after hearing them speak. I overwhelmingly endorse them, and I personally feel that The Traveling Team is one of the most strategic and most influential mission mobilization groups of our generation.

Keith Holcomb
"The Traveling Team did a fantastic job at encouraging our students to play their part in the Great Commission. God's heart for the nations is expressed over and over again from cover to cover in the Bible and TTT took the time to walk through this with our students. Very impacting! Their ability to connect and follow up with our students has been very beneficial to our university."
Keith Holcomb, Cedarville University, Ohio

"I am so thankful for the ministry of The Traveling Team. Their passion for empowering college students to help reach the world for Christ is contagious. Our students always look forward to having The Traveling Team visit our campus because they do such a great job at connecting with our students and providing a clear Biblical presentation on God's heart for the world. You won't regret inviting them to speak at your campus or church!"

I LOVE The Traveling Team! They do an excellent job of communicating God’s heart for the world which allows us to easily challenge students to World Christian Discipleship, be that reaching out to international students, summer mission projects, considering how to live this out in their future career, or going overseas short or long term! When I was a student, The Traveling Team helped shaped me as a World Christian, and now I have been working in campus ministry with international students and mobilizing for over 10 years!

“I bring in The Traveling Team every time they’re available. They have the perfect experience and platform to challenge and encourage our students. The way they explain what Scripture says about the needs of the world and our call as believers is clear, engaging and compelling. If you want to help your students step from self-centeredness towards Christ-centeredness in His mission, I’d highly recommend The Traveling Team.”

Robert Rueda
"I highly recommend The Traveling Team to anyone seeking to mobilize college students to have a global impact. The Traveling Team is now part of our ministry team, every 2 years they visit us, deliver engaging presentations on the need for missions and what students can do to serve. They also take the time to talk to our students individually to encourage them to be global Christians. The Traveling Team members are well informed on the topic of missions and are great passionate communicators."

Ethan Wiekamp
I love The Traveling Team. Having requested their partnership at dozens of campuses for more than a decade, I can unequivocally say that they are some of the most kind, generous, Kingdom-minded folks that I've ever met in ministry...and they don't mind living out of a van! I absolutely love their mission and their presentations are excellent. I've heard the "students in missions" presentation many times and every time I hear it I tear up and find my heart thanking God that I get to be part of his mission to mobilize college students to reach the nations. Every campus minister should hear that talk, if for no other reason, to renew their vision for reaching college students.

The Traveling Team has been a valued ally and asset in mobilizing students for global missions for a long time. I have had their teams on campuses I have served on many times since they started sending teams out. They have always come ready to inform, inspire, equip, and enable students to find their place in God's great rescue operation. Do not hesitate to invite them to your campus.

"I am so grateful for The Traveling Team. They increase our vision for God's glory and inspire us to live strategically for the gospel. They were the spark God used to ignite my heart for the nations over 15 years ago. I love seeing God use them to do the same thing in the lives of our students today."

We've brought The Traveling Team in to speak to our Chi Alpha groups five times over the years. Every time, their presentation has been well-prepared, on-point, and excellent in terms of expanding our students' view of God's heart for the world, and calling them to obey Him in missions. We recommend them to you without reservation.

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.

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.

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!
