My name is Brooke and I am based in Southeast Alabama. Blessed to be raised in my large, loving Christian family, I learned how to listen to the voice and call of God. In my teenage years, the Lord revealed to me that I had a call to full-time ministry ahead of me. I attended Faith Bible College International in Charleston, Maine to be readied and equipped for the work He would have me do for His Kingdom. During this process, a love for the Middle East was stirred in my heart and would not let me go. I attended a vision trip in 2019 and lived overseas in 2022 gaining cross-cultural experience. Now, in 2024, I am preparing to return to full-time ministry overseas to serve those God wants to touch. I am excited for all that God is going to do and is doing in and through me during these years in the Middle East.

“Clear a road through the desert for Adonai! Level a highway in the desert for our God!
Let every valley be filled in, every mountain and hill lowered,
the bumpy places made level and the crags become a plain.
Then the glory of Adonai will be revealed; all humankind together will see it,
for the mouth of Adonai has spoken.”
Isaiah 40:3-5

I am going to the unreached places…

90% of foreign missionaries work among already reached people groups. 10% work among unreached people groups. 86% of all unreached people groups lie within the region called the 10/40 window, which is between 10 and 40 degrees north and from the west coast of Africa to the east coast of Asia.* I am of the 10% of missionaries that has chosen to take up the call to share the Gospel to those in the unreached portions of the world. The good news of the Gospel must be preached to all unreached peoples in order for Christ to return and establish His Kingdom. Therefore, I am taking opportunities for outreach within the Middle East and Mediterranean Basin serving different people groups and sharing the Gospel.

Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the Good News, since it is God’s powerful means of bringing salvation to everyone who keeps on trusting, to the Jew especially, but equally to the Gentile.”

What does “Nahal” mean in Nahal Ministries?

Nahal is the Hebrew word for a brook or a “wadi” which is a desert stream. Loosely based off of my own English name, there are many meanings for a person named “brook.” Usually the meaning is simple, like a small stream of water. But brooks are known to be peaceful, refreshing, and sometimes there’s a bit of babbling going on. Sometimes when you look up the meaning of the name “Brooke” it can mean peacemaker. I strive to build bridges and be an ambassador of peace like my namesake. Therefore, I gave the work I do the name of which focuses on my goal. Peace. Shalom. Jesus said…

“But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:14
