east-west

Since 1993, East-West exists to mobilize the Body of Christ to evangelize the lost and equip local believers to multiply disciples and healthy churches among unreached peoples and/or in restricted access communities. East-West strives to provide the world with its greatest need—the life-transforming message of the gospel. With this ultimate purpose in mind, we boldly go by venturing into the darkest areas of the world with the mission to impact lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Simply put, we go where others dare not go to see lives transformed forever. Throughout our decades of nonprofit ministry, we have built a solid infrastructure of missionaries and national partners in some of the world’s spiritually darkest areas. Each of these believers is equipped to share God’s Word and train new disciples. Because of this, we are not only able to pursue our mission but also multiply our results, igniting a movement of rapidly reproducing churches led by nationals. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and faithful partners, we can create an unending chain of impact, changing the world by building God’s Kingdom.

The Brookwood Community

Through the grace of God, The Brookwood Community provides an educational environment that creates meaningful work, builds a sense of belonging, and awakens genuine purpose in the lives of adults with disabilities. Brookwood provides meaning and purpose in the lives of adults with disabilities. Our Citizens are the heart of Brookwood. Brookwood’s day program started in 1983, and our first residential Citizens joined in 1985. Today, more than 250 Citizens work in one or more of our enterprises at our main campus in Brookshire or one of our two satellite locations in Richmond, Texas and The Woodlands, Texas. Over 113 Residential Citizens live on our 485-acre campus and another 140 Day Citizens live at home and commute daily to work on campus. Our Citizens enjoy genuine fellowship, participate in fitness activities in our indoor swimming pool and gymnasium, celebrate the presence of God in our interfaith worship center, and when necessary, receive care in our onsite health clinic. From the beginning, Brookwood was founded on the American free enterprise system and does not take government funds. Our funding comes from tuition, enterprise revenue, and donations. We are committed to serving adults with disabilities from all economic backgrounds and give extensive scholarship assistance.
