About Teams to the Nations

Teams to the Nations (TTTN) is

An evangeical, interdenominational, nonprofit organization supported by donations. Honoring Jesus' command to "go and make disciples of all nations," TTTN provides the Church and those with whom we serve unique opportunities to experience God through short-term mission trips around the world and close to home.

The vision of TTTN

The vision of TTTN was birthed in 1999 in the heart of Joseph Sanson (TTTN President) after witnessing the impact that short-term mission trips had on his own children. They returned with a deepened desire to serve the Lord and a passion or reaching the unsaved with the Gospel. Joe wanted to provide others with the same life-changing opportunities.

God has opened doors to this ministry since its inception, making for consistent growth and influence. In the summer of 2000, TTTN launched its first teams, each consisting of about 35 people, ministering in places such as China, El Salvador, Ghana, and Russia. Two years later, Joe's daughter, Rachel, opened an orphanage in El Salvador, ministering to orphaned and abandoned children who, before their rescue, lived in a garbage dump. In 2008 over 200 people will represent TTTN on various mission trips in twelve different countries throughout the world, in the US, and in Cleveland, Ohio, the ministry's home base.

Our teams partner with evangelists in sharing the Gospel through various means, including street evangelism, showering the Jesus film, and, in some places, hosting parties for entire villages. Some teams help build orphanages and minister to children through vacation bible school. Sports teams play soccer, baseball and basketbal to open doors to share the Gospel. Medical teams meet the phsyical and spiritual needs of the hurting and lost.
