Missionary Care Teams

When we send out one of our members or partners to serve God around the world, we commit to support them with prayer, finances, encouragement and care. We invite you to be involved in the care of our missionaries by joining a Missionary Care Team, committing to pray for our missionaries, or by providing various types of missionary support.

Missionary Care Teams connect our missionaries to Elmbrook, listen to their stories and needs, share their stories, and involve the church in caring and providing for them while they are away and when they are here with us. Our Missionary Care Teams are divided into the following regions of the world.

  • Africa
  • Asia
  • SE Asia
  • Europe
  • Latin America
  • Milwaukee/Waukesha
  • College
  • Executive

If you are would like to become involved in a Missionary Care Team, contact Shanthini.
