FORWARD MISSIONARIES
Meet Our Forward Missionaries
Welcome to our list of dedicated missionaries appointed by North American Missions to spread the gospel and build new Apostolic communities across North America.
Meet our Forward Missionaries: These courageous missionaries journey into rural areas, breaking new ground with the gospel and making disciples where the presence of Apostolic churches is sparse. Their commitment to spreading the message of salvation reaches even the most remote corners of North America.
With our support, these missionaries are empowered to fulfill their calling and make a lasting impact in communities that are largely unchurched. We invite you to learn more about each missionary and join us in supporting their vital work. Together, let's spread the gospel of Jesus Christ across our continent.
Brown, Mark & Jordan - South Dakota
Mark and Jordan Brown are career church planters in the state of South Dakota. In the past five years, through the circuit-riding approach, they have started four new churches. South Dakota currently has just 15 works in a state of 66 counties and 310 towns. Their vision is to reduce the distance it takes for people to find truth by seeing an Apostolic witness in every county and every community in South Dakota
Thompson, Galen & Ann - Rocky Mountain District
Galen Thompson and his wife, Ann, are church planters, teachers, trainers, and leaders. They are passionate about training church planters. In 2018, Galen was asked to serve as Director of Training for North American Missions, UPCI. Since then, he has created extensive church planters’ curriculum for NAM. In 2024, they were appointed as Forward Missionaries to the Rocky Mountain District, where they will take their 40+ years of experience and training into the field as circuit riders, with a goal to start multiple churches within the unreached areas of Montana.
