PETE BROKOPP
Faculty
Pete grew up in Gabon, Africa, a son of C&MA missionaries. He attended the International Christian Academy boarding school in the Ivory Coast, and then studied psychology and missions at Nyack College, NY. He finished at Alliance Theological Seminary where he eventually earned an MPS in Urban Ministry.
From 1993 to 1998 he was youth pastor of First Alliance Church in Lexington, NC, after which God called him to continue working with youth in Burkina Faso. While in Burkina Faso, Pete met his wife Alice and they were married in 2000.
In 2014, Pete became the Envision international development coordinator, helping people and churches in the U.S. to define their passion for service and mobilizing them for ministry through our Envision sites in the US and around the world.
In 2016, God called Pete, Alice, Charity, and Sam to open an Envision site in Clarkston, GA (near Atlanta) to reach out to refugees. The vision is to establish employment opportunities for refugees to meet their felt needs for jobs and friendship, to establish house churches among them, to get them involved with American families in local churches, and help them find churches and Christian support in the neighborhoods to which they eventually move.
