We use the Power of Story to Reach the Nations
Issa had never heard the Gospel. He had never met a Christian. His entire family followed Islam. That all changed when a church started praying for his people.
Issa is a real person who was born in a Muslim tribe in Tanzania. He has shared the Gospel with many of his people. By giving people a name and a face, the Unreached become more real and the Church gets more engaged in taking the Gospel to them!
Tell Their Story is the partnership of Team Expansion and The Williams Family, uniting the pursuit of multiplying disciples among the unreached (groups who are still without direct access to the Gospel). with a passion for storytelling, design, marketing, and communications.
Jesus gave his followers a Great Commission, “Go and make disciples of all nations....” Today, over 3 Billion people still need to hear the Good News. Team Expansion has been helping missionaries multiply disciples and churches among the unreached for over 45 years. Today, over 350 workers serve in 75+ locations. Whether someone wants to become a missionary, send missionaries, pray, give, or volunteer, Team Expansion helps them every step of the way. Learn More About Team Expansion >>
JC and Carla live in Granada, Spain where they use their gifts in storytelling, design, marketing, and communications to help the Church engage in the Great Commission. Simultaneously, they come alongside missionaries and train and equip them to become better communicators. By equipping the Church with amazing stories of God at work through missionaries, more people get involved with sharing God’s love with the nations.

in 2024 Our Team
Moved to Spain!
We want to live in the most strategic place to tell God’s story of reaching the nations. For many years, we’ve done that from Louisville, KY. Now we live in Spain! This move will allow us to regularly visit missionaries throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia, so we can tell their stories and empower them to be effective communicators.
Our Process
What’s stopping the fulfillment of the Great Commission? We know WHO still needs to hear the Gospel. We know HOW to share the Gospel and multiply disciples. We just need more workers!
WE MOBILIZE
We create stories and resources that move people into prayer, worship, giving, and going. God designed us to respond to stories. Jesus taught through stories. Stories lead us into action. If we can get more people engaged in reaching the nations, the work can be completed in our lifetime!
WE TRAIN
By empowering missionaries to be effective communicators, the stories are multiplied. We help workers learn how to share their mission and get more people excited about their work to reach unreached people.
WE EQUIP
Our team provides a full menu of services to missionaries: writing, editing, graphic design, videography, photography, strategic planning, and more! We want workers to look and sound professional and maximize their impact on the field and to their supporters.
