E-TEAM
E-TEAM is a life-changing, short-term summer missions experience for students who have just completed grades 10, 11, or 12. The program provides a week of intensive training and two weeks of hands-on cross-cultural experience where students learn from and serve with Free Will Baptist missionaries. The experience wraps up with a time of debriefing and closing ceremonies.
Groups consist of seven to nine students led by an adult couple. Destinations have included Japan, France, St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Chicago, Mexico, Spain, Uruguay, Panama, Brazil, and Cuba.
Former E-TEAMers may subscribe to the E-TEAM Alumni e-news. A group of alumni gather annually at the National Association of FWB.
History
E-TEAM stands for Eagleton-Teens Equipped and Active in Missions. Originally, it was just TEAM. Ken Eagleton, a former missionary to Brazil, began the program. After his death, the "E" was added in honor of him and his vision.
