The Helkers' Story: 40 Years in 4 Minutes

The back story

Almost two and half decades ago Eddy and Carolyn Helker joined Bridgeway Church and started a ministry called Bridge to the Nations. The emphasis was discipling young men and women who would focus on developing careers while making disciples 

and church planting among the nations. 


In 2015, the Helker’s started Discipleability Ministries  as way to continue in the belief that the Great Commission and the book of Acts connects sharing the gospel to making disciples to church planting among the nations. 


The hope of both Bridgeway and Discipleability Ministries is to see discipled young men and women be disciple makers coming together to form reproducing Christ following communities(churches). For the last 10 years the disciple making arm of the ministry took on the form of Anchor Ministry.

We hold firmly to the belief that our Triune God has given us every ability to make disciples of Him.

Our hope for the future of SAIL Ministry

Early in 2026 Carolyn and Eddy Helker will begin transitioning 

from their role at Bridgeway Church to raise financial support for 

the purpose of joining a church plant in Liverpool U.K. 

In this least reached city they will join the 5 churches called the Cornerstone Collective specifically with the Cornerstone church plant in Wirral, England, focusing on young adults and families 

to begin the process of helping with and helping others plant churches.

Being based in Europe over the next couple years will put Carolyn and Eddy in closer proximity to their continuing and growing role of pastoral care with missionaries, church planters, and business

developers in Europe, Asia, and Africa.


The Helker picture in front of the Liverpool Football Clubs Anfield Stadium Gate has a motto- "You will Never Walk Alone”

That line is indicative of so many that have been a part of our story, and our hope and prayer of you joining us.
