Pit Crews

Every driver in the Indy 500 depends on a team. A pit crew. The pit crew knows the driver and the car well. They are in constant contact, lap after lap. And when it is time for a pit stop, the crew springs into action. They know exactly what to do — working in harmony to get the driver back on the track to finish the race, striving to win. Together.

We want that kind of team for our Missions Partners — teams of specialists who are familiar with and passionate about a partner’s work. A pit crew who will pray for and communicate with their partner while they’re on the field, and know exactly what to do when they come home. A small group community, working in harmony to support their partner in ministry — to help them finish their race, striving to win others for Christ. Together.
