The Cooks

With a passion to see the Church thrive, John and Dee have been serving together in various areas of service including youth work, senior pastorate, church planting, and missions for 42 years.

Dr. Cook, the founder and CEO of Indigenous Ministries, states, “Family is our joy.  First, our own family, now filled with busy adventures with grandkids.  Next, our Indigenous Ministries’ teams and their families here in Colorado Springs and in each of our offices in the Middle East, India and the Philippines.  Thirdly, the Family of God – the Church, which is my heart and passion.  We are so thrilled for those who are coming into the Family of Christ overseas as a result of Indigenous Ministries; people who have made a personal commitment to follow Him and then deepening their faith as they are discipled.”

Ministry:  John is the CEO of Indigenous Ministries, Dee is the director of Beautiful International Women’s Ministry and serves as Donor Relations Manager.
