Since 2011, we have served indigenous missionaries on a full time basis by equipping them with vital information for engaging and making disciples among unreached people groups. Starting out as a Researcher/Geographer with Etnopedia in Oaxaca (2011-2012), Mexico, Drake took on the role of South America Research Coordinator for ALTECO (2013-2025). While still facilitating research for the Three Waves Movement in South America, of which ALTECO is a founding member, Drake now serves with Gospelink (gospelink.org). Since 2022, he has been helping Gospelink develop a robust missionary strategy based on solid information. In this role, Drake coordinates with indigenous church-planting missionaries across many countries in Africa, Eurasia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central America and South America. As God gives the increase, we rejoice!
The focus of Gospelink is to connect North American churches with indigenous Christian leaders worldwide to magnify their work as church-planting missionaries. Since its founding in 1998, the Lord has worked through Gospelink to establish over 44,000 churches! Gospelink currently oversees an extensive network of 1000+ church planters in over 20 countries, as well as a Bible college in the south central African nation of Zambia. Through research, Drake is helping Gospelink assess the impact of these churches and training centers while identifying new opportunities to expand further into unreached and underserved regions.
