Missions
The Gathering at Brock is the place where we generously share, serve and go. We believe that it is the call of our Lord Jesus to go into the world and declare the good news of the Gospel. We do this in two ways, by sharing and serving. The Gospel is good news to those in need, so it needs to be shared through our voices and stories. It is also to be lived out in our lives, so the good news is accompanied by works of blessing and serving those in need. This call is to be lived out in both our local community and in the world abroad.
LOCAL MISSIONS:
The Gathering at Brock is committed to sharing the Gospel and investing in our local community through the following ministries.

With this accomplished, we as Christians assist the local mission to get to the ultimate goal of making Christ following disciples.
Good News Nation
Creating a Facebook invite to host an online pastor’s meeting is the simple avenue that the Lord used to connect Brad Crawford with the nation of India, and Good News Nation was born. From hosting monthly pastors conferences and drilling wells to seeing hundreds saved, healed and baptized, North India is the launching pad for this global ministry with a vision to establish the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the nations of the earth. The Yaple family has come alongside the Crawfords in this endeavor by ministering to the women of North India, and in the Summer of 2021, hosted the first Christian women’s conference ever to be recorded in this region. Good News Nation is currently discipling and supporting thirty Indian pastors and in the summer of 2022, through the generous support of The Gathering, is set to open its first church building in Rajasthan, India.
For more information about Good News Nation contact Brad Crawford at 817-771-9543.
