Northbrook's supported missionaries

Eric and Mollie Kroner

Eric & Mollie Kroner are from West Bend, Wisconsin and now work in Chad, Africa with TEAM (The Evangelical Alliance Mission). The Swamp Initiative seeks to establish an indigenous, culturally sensitive reproducing community of disciples in each of the main people groups in this region of Chad. In order to achieve this goal, they help with the physical and spiritual needs of the population, building friendships through community development, education, and healthcare programs.

szabolcs kerekes

Szabolcs serves with CRM (Church Resource Ministries) and Barnabas Csoport in Budapest Hungary. CRM empowers leaders to go to the unreached and unchurched, to bring transformation among the poor, and to mobilize the Church for mission…so that disciples are made among the nations.

James and elsie gilbert

Brazil is a large country with rich cultural differences, a complex history, and incredible challenges. 
This enriches our sense of the LORD's creativity and beauty, and the greatness of His love for all people, as we minister to children and teens in Brazil. Our gifts and talents are used to equip, encourage, and evangelize. We work on a national level through a network of organizations with hundreds of projects, using internet media, regional training, materials, and campaigns. We also minister on a more local level with teens in our hometown city. 

Enrique and Becky Fernandez

Quique and Becky train leaders in Latin America through an online Bible training course they created called ProMETA. 

ProMETA provides education at the post-graduate level in the areas of theology and leadership. It uses a decentralized model that allows leaders to continue their education without having to leave their ministries or countries. This opens up opportunities that they otherwise would not have, because many cannot afford to leave their ministry to pursue more education.

Walter and Marian pimpong

Walter & Marian Pimpong serve with International Needs in Ghana.  Their work  includes evangelism and discipleship, education and community development, protecting women and children from exploitation, and helping to train women in vocational skills.

"We are born with potential, yet we see a lot of human potential go to waste in many communities in Ghana and abroad as a result of barriers of extreme poverty, deprivation, exclusion, disease, hunger, discouragement and limited opportunities.  For many years International Needs Ghana has made great strides in reaching many communities in Ghana with various developmental projects, bringing hope to many individuals and families by providing skills and empowering the most vulnerable to make the most of the little they have."   internationalneedsgh.org/gh/
