Timothy Petersen

Timothy Petersen was born and raised In Merritt Island, Florida. He grew up as a missionary kid as his parents, Steve & Gay Petersen, have been serving full time on Teen Missions staff since 1984 & 1995 respectively. Timothy has had the privilege of traveling all over the world while his parents lead teams every summer.  As a staff kid he has been to Poland, Australia, China, Malawi, Zambia, and Russia.  Then as a team member he traveled to Haiti, Nepal, Fiji and Canada.

Entering into his senior year of high school, Timothy knew it was time to make a decision about what he wanted to do after graduation. He felt called to ministry, but wasn’t sure what specific avenue he wanted to take.  After much prayer and checking out various Bible schools and mission agencies, he felt the Lord giving him a peace to attend the Teen Missions Bible school.  He enrolled in the Fall of 2020 to begin the two years of academics and training.  

He will begin his year of internship, Lord willing, in the Fall of 2022, at the headquarters in Florida.  He is currently serving in the US Teams Department in the afternoon, as well as helping in the Promotions Department.

In his free time, Timothy enjoys spending time with his family, hanging out and playing games with friends, and playing sports.
