Our Story

Hydrate Global Ministries exists to intentionally pour into the lives of those serving in ministry and missions. Our ministry was birthed from a desire and a call to love and encourage those leading and serving on the front lines. While serving together in ministry for more than 33 years we have experienced many ups and downs yet God has remained faithful through it all.  Many times throughout our ministry it has been the prayers and encouragement of others that has spurred us on in ministry when the journey was difficult. Our passion is to do the same for others. We desire to care, encourage, and refresh those called to serve faithfully in the trenches as well as those just getting started on the journey.

Scott surrendered his life to Christ at the age of seventeen and started following Jesus. Nearly a year later he surrendered his life to the call to full-time vocational ministry. This was not the career path that Scott had imagined for himself, yet it was God’s plan.  Scott has faithfully served in full-time vocational ministry for almost 40 years.  God’s call has allowed him to serve the local church in several pastoral positions from Student Pastor to Sr. Pastor, as well serve and lead a global missions agency. Scott has a shepherd’s heart for ministry, missions, and the Great Commission. Scott’s desire is to come alongside and encourage those called to serve in ministry and missions.
