People Groups
World Team is a global mission agency working in a growing number of unreached people groups, cities, countries and regions to plant reproducing churches, with the ultimate goal of reaching the unreached of the world.
Below are profiles of many of the countries where we have ministry opportunities. If you don’t find the people group or country you are looking for, please contact us!
Central Asia – The Uyghur
God is moving in the hearts of people to reach Uyghurs in Central Asia – The Uyghur people are a Turkic people, with a culture and language very similar to other Central Asian peoples. They are a hospitable people, who do not hesitate to invite someone in for tea, naan bread, or an entire meal. Their Muslim faith influences their identity despite their tendency to be less devout.
Chad
Fields Ready for Harvest – There are 24 unreached people groups in the Guera that are all in close proximity of one another. Many of them suffer from a lack of clean water, health facilities, and education, issues that are pervasive throughout the country.
China – Han
One Pastor for Every 10,000 Believers -“Diverse” is one of many adjectives that could be used to describe the church in China. The Body of Christ in China is indeed multi-faceted, a microcosm of the diverse population of China itself.
China – Hui
To be Hui is to be Muslim – Imagine being one of 10 missionaries trying to reach 1.5 million Muslims with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The numbers are staggering!
Chinese – Hidden People of Peru
Chinese – Hidden People in Peru – There are less than 1,000 believers among this first generation Chinese in Peru, and only two Chinese churches in Lima with about 150 worshippers on Sunday. Even at 1,000 believers, less than 1% of the Chinese population in Lima profess Christ. The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few!
France
Sowing Seeds of Hope – A multi-cultural team of North American and Europe-an workers, and French church leaders, form a team known as France V.I.E. This is a play on words, “VIE” which means life, yet the initials stand for “a vision to plant churches.”
Germany
A Nation of Influence – Germany, the homeland of Martin Luther and the Reformation, has become a post-Christian country and a new mission field in Europe. World Team desires to establish four new multicultural church planting teams in Germany.
Haiti
Reaching the Next Generation – Though Haiti is a beautiful nation, poverty and spiritual darkness continues to hold this island nation captive. For those with patience and an open mind, Haiti reveals a rich and unique blend of African, French and Caribbean culture.
Italy
A European Cultural Center – As the heart of the Roman Catholic Church and witness of the birth of Christendom, Italy has deep religious roots.
Italy – Milan
Hope for Milan – World Team has been church planting in Italy since the 1970s. Our team in the northern city of Milan uses creative methods to build bridges for the gospel, like park outreach events, art exhibitions, and children’s programs.
