Answering Christ's command in Acts 1:8 to be witnesses to the ends of the earth, Bill and his team bring a powerful message of God's grace and love to hurting, hungry hearts, and an uncompromising challenge for people to give their lives in obedience to God. We believe that this ministry is on the verge of even greater things, but we need your help. Would you partner with us in pursuit of this passion? Please prayerfully consider whether the Lord is moving you to use your gifts and resources to build His Kingdom through the following strategic opportunities:

international and domestic ministry costs

The Bill Drake team undertakes International Ministry trips each year, such as the major evangelistic tour in Turkey in 2004. The nineteen-person team presented the Gospel to over 5,000 Muslims, with at least seven coming to know the Lord at much personal risk. Taking such a ministry around the world, and even across the USA, is expensive. There is a constant struggle to raise the money to support these activities. The requests for us to bring our ministry far exceed our financial ability. You can be part of the Lord's provision for us in this, giving towards our touring costs and equipment expenses.

general ministry fund

Our ministry team has many support needs including training courses, computer software, printed materials, presentation materials, props, etc. The Lord is faithful to supply all our needs, yet we always feel the responsibility to weigh one need against another - which is more urgent? Which can wait until next month, or next year? You can encourage us greatly by partnering with us in these critical needs, helping to carry the load, so that we can be released to focus on the things we believe the Lord is calling us to.

ministry to the suffering church

It is our greatest passion to build the Kingdom of God, but we realize that in many parts of the world this comes at a great cost. Many of our brothers and sisters suffer persecution or are engaged in the battle against HIV/AIDS. Other families are left destitute when relatives are imprisoned or martyred. You can have an impact by giving to "Ministry to the Suffering Church" which will be used where the need is greatest through our strategic partnerships with OM and Voice of the Martyrs.
