Each team follows a structured discipleship programme. On your own and with the team, discover what it means to be a Christ-centered disciple, how to develop Christian character, how to have victory over sin, and how to grow toward maturity in your daily walk with God.

Living with others in the team can be challenging, but it is one of the best ways to learn Christian servanthood and experience being a part of the Body of Christ. We have a strong focus on prayer, and encourage you to spend a lot of time with God on your own.

Each TEA participant sets goals for their growth during the team. Weekly evaluations help you refocus on the goals and come up with strategies to achieve them.

Your TEA leaders are experienced in evangelism and discipleship training, and are there to share their skills and support you as you grow.

For those with English as a second language, spending 10 weeks in an English-speaking environment will help you gain confidence and skill in speaking, reading and writing in English. Operation Mobilisation can arrange for you to study in English classes with qualified teachers for as long as you like before joining the team.
