David & Kathy North—TEAM (Church Planting)

eu-northDavid and Kathy North have been supported missionaries of Westminster since 1985. David grew up in India as the son of missionaries, and Kathy grew up in Indonesia where her parents were missionaries to a primitive tribe. David and Kathy met at Bible College and felt strongly that the Lord was calling them to be church planting missionaries. They have worked for 33 years in the Philippines planting churches in various sized cities. “We look for the least evangelized towns and cities,” David says, “and that’s where we go to start a new church and a new light for that place.”
Recently the Norths were asked by TEAM to take on the work of coordinating the international ministry of church planting for TEAM. David and Kathy travel the world in order to meet with their missionaries in many countries for training, mentoring, coaching and encouragement.
