In 2017, Walnut Creek Church made the decision to move in the direction of sending and supporting long-term cross-cultural workers from within our church. The Lord has been very gracious to us as a church as He has raised up numerous singles and families to move overseas over the past several years. These saints will spend the next upcoming years to decades of their lives learning one or two foreign languages, adapting to other cultures, evangelizing the lost, making disciples, raising up church leaders, translating the Bible, and Lord willing, establishing healthy reproducing churches around the world.

As a church, we are grateful for the sacrifice of these men and women. We also recognize that it isn’t just the sacrifice of these people that will advance the cause of Christ globally. Behind each of these men and women are numerous families back home who have sacrificed, friends and colleagues who are giving generously, and church members who are devoted to prayer.
