SEND’s Ministry

Muslims in this part of Southeast Asia—over 10 million people—have been ignored for centuries by messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Team Hope is our answer to this need. Team Hope aims to be the physical presence of Christ in the midst of a large Muslim community, and to bring the message of our loving Lord, Jesus Christ. This multinational team ministers through education, community engagement, development farming, and community health.

Spiritual Climate

Team Hope focuses on a Muslim group we call the Miga, who were first introduced to Islam by Arab traders nearly 1,000 years ago. They are disadvantaged and poor, often living on the fringes of land taken from them by immigrants from the north. The team builds bridges to Jesus while meeting this community’s significant needs through agricultural training, literacy development, tutoring, community health, and more. We have open doors to minister at a local university and in three unreached communities.

Team Goals

Team Hope needs followers of Jesus to help:

Communicate a culturally relevant biblical message in the heart language of Muslim peoples.
Share the gospel by telling biblical stories.
Develop leaders in ways that fit the local context.
Cultivate healthy families of faith that initiate Disciple Making Movements.

Life in Southeast Asia looks like:

Members of Team Hope love Jesus, enjoy investing in relationships, like to tell a good story, and have a passion to serve Muslims. If this is you, consider:

Do you maintain a close walk with Jesus?
Are you committed, hard-working, and resilient?
Are you open to lifelong learning?
How do you act on your desire to see more Muslims following Jesus?
Are you willing to live simply in order to identify with the local community?

Members of Team Hope should demonstrate genuine love for people and intentionality in their time, skills, and conversations, in order to bring a Kingdom perspective of holistic ministry into the context of daily life and trusting relationships.
