The idea for Team Expansion was born in 1978, during a small prayer meeting at a Bible college in Eastern Kentucky. There were eight guys in a crowded dorm room and all of them signed their names on a world map. Our president, Doug Lucas, happened to sign beside the country of Uruguay. Four years later, Team Expansion fielded its first team, to Uruguay, by God’s grace.

For the next 40 years, Team Expansion continued to send out teams to unreached parts of the world. As we learned more about disciple-making movements and multiplication, Team Expansion evaluated and shifted strategies and tools. But our goal was always the same: to take the Gospel to people who had never heard it before.

But over the years, God has grown our team and refined our approach. In 2018 we had 300+ missionaries serving in 40+ countries, we are multiplying disciples and churches among the unreached on a huge scale. With strategies like Disciple-Making Movements, Community Health Evangelism, and Media to Movement, we are seeing an unprecedented response.
