Brad and Jan ThurstonBradandJan

Brad and Jan are veteran missionary leaders, and have ministered in many countries around the world.  They have worked in Germany since 1981, church planting and serving a network of churches.

In 1990, Brad and Jan founded “Globe Europe” (now called Globe Mission), a missions organisation sending European missionaries all over the world, and promoting missions in German churches.  Under their pioneering leadership, Globe Mission has grown to be a family of 100 missionaries.

In 2013, Brad and Jan handed over the leadership of Globe Mission to Andreas and Marion Pestke, and have now moved their base to Wilmington, North Carolina.  From there they continue to promote missions and work with missionaries.

The Thurstons have five grown-up children and an increasing number of grandchildren.
