Discovery Teams are 2-3 week cross-cultural trips that allow you to experience a Word Made Flesh community in person.
Because Word Made Flesh is deeply committed to facilitating stable, long-term community and ministry around the world, our short-term Discovery Team experiences are a little different from a typical mission trip. We invite Discovery Team members to explore what long-term missional engagement looks like while getting to know the culture and people of the country they visit.

- Send an updated resume and photo of yourself to opportunities@wordmadeflesh.com (your resume should include education, work experience, skills and references)

Discovery Teams are excellent opportunities for groups of university students, church members and more. If you’re interested in initiating a Discovery Team for your group, let us know! We will work with you and the Word Made Flesh communities to sort through the details and logistics, including establishing the budget and the overall cost of the trip. (* Discovery Team members must be at least 18 years old.)
