The Upstream Collective

Description

Our story began in Europe with vocational missionaries, Larry McCrary and Caleb Crider. Larry had planted several churches across the US before moving overseas. The more he learned as a global missionary, the more he realized how disconnected American churches were from global missions. Caleb, meanwhile, was busy hosting short-term mission teams from American churches. He soon found that though teams could complete service tasks, they lacked the ability to actually make disciples. Larry and Caleb knew something had to change. In 2009 they started a nonprofit and called it The Upstream Collective.
