Missions
Missions matter at Waterbrook. We know that our ability to impact this world is tied to the missionaries and organizations who have connections in their regions. It’s why we take 10% of our giving and apply it towards missions. This money goes to support our 15 missionaries around the world, short-term mission trips, and various mission projects throughout the year.

Don Moore - Worship Coaching International (WCI)
STEF VAN MEERVELD - AMBASSADORS FOOTBALL
Christian & Meg Taylor - Greater Europe Mission
We are serving with GEM alongside Kirche Am Start in the community of Obertshausen, Germany through disciple multiplication.
Our love for Germany was planted in us many years ago. We have known that the Lord was leading us to minister there full time for about as long as we’ve been together! We tried many times to connect with a mission organization, but it never worked out. In 2018, the Lord opened the door to ministry in Germany when we came across Greater Europe Mission (GEM) and sent in an application. After many months of interviews and paperwork we went to GEM headquarters for training in June 2019. At the end of the week, after many more interviews and a lot of prayer, GEM commissioned us to serve in Frankfurt at that time and began support raising shortly after.
