Global Mission

Global Mission

Faith partners with missionaries and church planters around the world, joining the commission to bring the gospel to every tribe, tongue and nation.

Here are the missionaries we currently support. Please pray for them as they seek to serve Christ abroad.

  • Dal & Beth Stanton - Bulgaria : Dal and Beth now minister in Sofia, Bulgaria, where Dal serves as the team leader and oversees the church-planting efforts and community outreach initiatives. Both Dal and Beth help to facilitate the “Daughters of Bulgaria,” a ministry to victims of sex trafficking. A great joy of the Stantons is teaching, nurturing, and living in community with MTW interns via “The Well,” a summer internship mentoring program. The Stantons explain their passion for ministry as follows: “We desire to touch real and hurting people, who are impacted by the real and living gospel in our lives.”
  • David & Jan Thomae - Middle East: David and Jan are part of the leadership team of Mission to the World’s ministry among Muslims. David provides oversight and support worldwide for Muslim-focused ministries that are directed by MTW missionaries, and Jan helps lead ministry supporting MTW women working among Muslims. They assist teams and help care for missionaries in every stage of the church-planting process: from identifying new locations, to developing vision and strategy, to facilitating a maturing church.
  • Brent and Marianne - France : Brent and Marianne are passionate about taking the gospel to the least evangelized and least-reached places. With an evangelical population of only about 1%, France is one of the least evangelized nations in the world. A large increase of African immigrants has also given France the largest Muslim population in Western Europe, bringing in many unreached people groups. France is also home to around 2 million University students and the third largest international student population in the world. Serving in the Alpine region of Southeast France at the University of Savoy, Brent and Marianne's ministry focuses on reaching French and International students through evangelism, discipleship, Bible studies, and other programs. They are also committed to partnering with the local church, showing love, support, and encouragement to French believers. Brent and Marianne are from Greensboro, NC, and have two daughters, Elise, born September 2013, and Lily, born March 2016. 
  • Katie Lawerence - North Africa & Middle East
  • The Cobb Family - France : The Cobbs have been with Mission to the World since 1996, first serving in the Middle East with an indigenous Presbyterian church. Donald’s focus there was on pastoral training and church planting. They then returned to France, joining a church-planting team in Bordeaux. Since 2004, Donald has been teaching New Testament and church planting at the seminary in Aix, today one of the few evangelical seminaries in Western Europe. He is also involved in church-planting facilitation through the Conseil national des Evangéliques de France (CNEF). His burden is to instill in his students a vision for church planting and a desire to see God’s kingdom moving forward in French-speaking Europe. Claire-Lise teaches in a private Christian school in Aix, and they are both actively involved in a local church.
