Team Jesus | Serving the Least of These

On this episode of the Faith Horizons podcast, Nathan Sack and co-host John Losh visit the Team Jesus headquarters in Independence, Missouri, to talk with founder Brian Carline. Brian shares how Team Jesus was birthed out of three years of prayer, grew into an international ministry across 43 states and multiple nations, and now serves the unsheltered, trafficked, and traumatized through “mission equipment” – mobile showers, food, clothing, disaster relief, and trauma support trailers – all to make Jesus big and help other find His love. Hear powerful stories from the streets, third-world nations, and disaster zones, and discover how Team Jesus equips everyday believers to step into bold, practical outreach.
