Job Details
**Team Leader for Refugee Ministry Teams in North America Dallas, TX**
* ,
GoTEN was established in 2009 with the mission of sharing the Gospel among people who have NO chance of hearing it.
GoTEN helps the church meet refugees immediate needs while introducing them to Jesus. When refugees become disciples, GoTEN will help them introduce people in their home countries to Jesus. Put simply, our desire is to give people who have never heard of Jesus the opportunity to meet him.
In 2014, GoTEN made a strategic shift to begin engaging legally resettled refugees living in the United States. English centers were established in refugee communities to serve the local refugees and help build relationships to share the Gospel. The GoTEN team lives in these respective communities and regularly invites churches and individuals to serve at the centers.
The English centers in Arizona and Texas allow the opportunity to minister to thousands of people who come from unreached nations. GoTENs vision is to return with them to their home country to share the hope of Jesus with millions who have never heard it.
