David and Julie McCrum

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations... (Jesus, Matthew 28:19)

David and Julie served in Emalahleni, South Africa, for sixteen years. During this time, the Lord established two South African-led church plants and opened several opportunities for training national leaders and missionaries. God also blessed them with three children, John, Jacob, and Katherine, all born in South Africa.

Plant churches. Train Leaders. Reach Africa.

In 2021, the Lord expanded the ministry of David and Julie to include global church planting development. They are now training global leaders to build Christ’s church, a role that extends far beyond the borders of South Africa. Healthy Church Network empowers pastors to improve the health of their church so they will plant new healthy churches everywhere. Arbor Network enables local ministries to grow leaders through relational mentorship. And beginning in 2025, David and Julie serve as Field Catylysts for Africa to connecting reourses and training with African leaders to take the gospel further.
