Read TeachBeyond's 2023 Annual Report!

A Story of Growth

I am pleased to present to you TeachBeyond’s Annual Report for 2023. The reports include distinct themes from each region as we highlight strategic developments and stories of transformation. A unifying thread that you will read in your tour around the world, is that we saw a surge of growth in nearly every facet of the mission this year. This has been central to our organization’s story over the last decade. 

Our leadership made a key decision 15 years ago to transition from Janz Team Ministries to TeachBeyond, resulting in explosive growth. As we celebrate 70 years of ministry this year, we look back at these moments and recognize God’s clear hand in providing wisdom and discernment. I would like to take a moment to thank the many donors, prayer partners, and other contributors for their faithful, unwavering support throughout these years. My prayer is that, like those who came before us, we continue to press into God’s heart for His world as we pursue our mission of delivering high-quality, Christ-centered education around the world.  

As you’ll see in the global highlights, this year we saw many areas where God opened doors to do a new work, as we continue with our strategic plan: Embracing the Vision, but in addition to this external growth, we completed a Member Wellness survey in 

2023 that told us a lot about our mission. One of the areas that struck me as I read through the hundreds of surveys, was how essential our partnership is with churches, donors, and like-minded organizations in carrying out our mission. The support network goes far beyond the employees, to the thousands of people who come alongside our members and projects, enabling them to respond to God’s calling so we can join Him in His work of transformation. 

As we turn the page to 2024, I have been personally challenged to trust the Lord in new ways. How can we increasingly become more reliant on Him? I sense that God is calling us to be on the front lines of sharing the Gospel in places where there is no voice to proclaim the Good News. Simply put, we need to increasingly be more creative in our approach to a Christ-centered education where we see both an enlarged demand for this kind of education and an increased hostility to the Gospel. Our work in education is opening doors, and we want to be prepared to say “yes” to every opportunity God provides.
