Brooke grew up in both Morocco where she was raised as a missionary kid and California where she was introduced to the Vineyard in Anaheim, before moving to Columbus. In 2008 she moved to Amsterdam with Julia and Eric and a small team from Vineyard Columbus where she helped to plant Vineyard Amsterdam. After pastoring in Amsterdam for nearly 11 years, she returned to the US last year. She recently earned her Masters in Religion in Middle East and North African studies from the Institute of Middle East Studies in Beirut, Lebanon. Her thesis was focused on Muslim-Christian dialogue.
