Missions Pulse 15: Todd Ahrend

1024 576 David Joannes

Inspired by the Student Volunteer Movement of the early 20th century (which mobilized tens of thousands of young people for global missions), The Traveling Team crisscrosses North America, encouraging students to find their role in the Great Commission.

Is the goal to get them to become more Christian? “God’s not interested in them Christianizing their lives,” The Traveling Team founder, Todd Ahrend says, “He’s interested in them crucifying their lives.”

Today’s young people want to find their role in the Great Commission. We must point them in the right direction.
