Introducing a new missions initiative
DM TEAMS
What are DM (Diaspora Mission) Teams?
DM Teams are teams of 3-5 college-aged students who are trained and sent out to gateway cities in the U.S. and Canada where there are large concentrations of Unreached People Groups. These teams are trained for one week in Nashville before being deployed for 3-4 weeks in major urban areas to learn about and strategically engage diaspora people and communities that are least-reached. This is front-line mission work which is accomplished alongside our mission partners.
How does it work?
Training Week | Nashville, TN
DM Teams kick off with an intensive training week in Nashville, TN, where they receive hands-on preparation for engaging unreached diaspora communities. This time includes cross-cultural training, evangelism strategies, and practical tools for ministry. Led by experienced missionaries and church planters, the training equips teams to understand diaspora dynamics and effectively share the gospel in diverse urban settings.
Deployment | North American Diaspora City
After training, teams are sent to a major North American city with a high diaspora population for four weeks of on-the-ground ministry. They engage in outreach, community mapping, and relationship-building among unreached people groups. Working alongside local church planters and ethnic pastors, teams focus on connecting new believers to long-term discipleship opportunities, ensuring lasting impact.
