Reed Drury

Hey Everyone, During this season at YWAM Orlando, God has been taking me through the evolution of manhood, and in this evolution, I can proudly announce that I am now engaged!  Rebekah is the most wonderful answer to my prayers.  The reality that I will be leading a household and marriage is a wild dream come true with slightly terrifying truths. I am now held accountable to love without reservations, to model the love Jesus has to us His Bride, and to passionately lay down my rights and choose to serve another person with humility.  Rebekah and I are passionately chasing God's heart and finding ourselves falling in love with Him and each other every day. We are so excited to be able to minister together in another country, alongside the team God has placed us on. I believe Jesus is going to use us in such a sweet way to show His character and display the truth that has been lost in these foreign cultures. We desire to be used in any and every way possible and fully expect to see amazing fruit from this next short journey as we take one further step into our lifelong ministry as followers and disciples of Jesus. We will search for every opportunity to know Him more and to make Him known.

We leave on September 19th for Romania and return from Greece November 15th! This Friday, August 31st is the deadline for our tickets to be paid for and without the full amount of the ticket provided I will not be able to go on this trip. I still need $545 for the ticket and an additional $2300for the rest of the outreach cost. The $2300 is not due this week but at the end of next, September 7th. I am trusting and believing God will again prove His faithfulness and goodness to me via this situation. If you can please pray for me and my team as we prepare to show Jesus’ love in these nations and also for the finances to come in, I would greatly appreciate you coming alongside of me in this time. click here to donate If you feel led to give to my personal ministry and my outreach to Romania and Greece you can give by clicking the button above and following these quick and easy steps. 1.

April 2018 Update

After my Discipleship training school in LA I felt God calling me to do the School of Worship in Orlando Florida. 

Currently, I am learning how to worship the Lord by responding to His character and nature in all aspects of life! After this school I plan to continue my journey with YWAM Orlando and pursue staffing. The next step in the process to becoming staff is a School of Ministry Development (SOMD), The SOMD school starts June 24^th of this year, and it will include a 3-month missions tour.  

I will need about $3500 for the school and another $2000-4000 for the outreach portion.  I am raising support in pursuit of the call I believe the Lord has on my life for missions! 

If you are interested in helping me and supporting me financially you can do so through my home church (Peoria Christian Fellowship, 610 Abington St., Peoria, IL  61603) or the Peoria Christain Fellowship Church donation page and give under "education" and write Reed in the comments box.

 I also value your prayers for me! I would love to reach out and give the amazing testimony of the ways we saw God move in India and Greece. 

So, please contact me to hear about how God has been moving in my life personally and through the presentation of the Gospel to people across the world! Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support!

March Update here

These past 6 months have been truly amazing!  I have been able to partner with God's plans for restoration and redemption in physical and spiritual ways!  Along this most recent journey, I have also been transformed and will continue to be changed into the image of Christ.  For the past two and a half months I have served in Vellore, India, and Athens, Greece alongside the homeless, the abandoned, the forgotten, and the needy.  To date, this is the most life-changing and shaping 6 months of my life.  We have been blessed to see over 140 healings, 15 people baptized (14 with a Muslim background) and over 80 people saved on this outreach in Greece.  We have also been witness to the multiplying of food along with other signs and wonders.  Jesus is alive, and His Spirit bears fruit! 

Now that I will be graduating from DTS (Discipleship Training School) I feel called to join a SOW (School of Worship) in Orlando, FL where I will take part in more discipleship with YWAM.  This school starts April 5th and runs through August 1.  I am currently raising my tuition and outreach fees, and it would be amazing if you would like to partner with me in the ministry God has allowed me to take part in. You can send any support to Peoria Christian Fellowship Church, 610 Abington St, Ste J, Peoria, IL  61603 and mark your gift "Education Fund".  

 For more information you can contact me (I return to the states at the end of February) at 1-747-232-9691 or email me at reed.drury@gmail.com.  Blessings!

Love,

Reed

November 28th Update

We are less than three weeks away from outreach!

These first nine weeks with YWAM have truly been amazing!  I have the privilege and opportunity to go to India and serve with orphans for a month and lead student ministry for young adults with worship and teaching.  In Greece, we will be working with YWAM United (ywamunited.com) along with the refugees that have been trapped in the country due to civil war and stress in their homeland.  I will be helping to lead and facilitate a House of Prayer in Athens, Greece providing worship leading, intercession sets, and a safe atmosphere to respond to who God is.  In my free time in Greece we will be doing healing ministry, feeding refugees and providing teaching and worship in the local churches.  Please be praying for me and my team as we take this bold step in bringing the Gospel to unreached people groups. God has been bringing such an increase in my faith, and He has opened doors along with platforms for me to use my natural and spiritual gifting for the advancing of His Kingdom.


I appreciate your prayers, especially prayers for protection from sickness (this seems to be the biggest hindrance to outreach) for me and all our team as well as prayers for provision. Our next financial deadline is December 9th, and I am still in need of $1500.00 to complete the outreach budget.  I would love to pray for you as well.  Feel free to contact me with any questions or prayer requests that you have in your life.  My email is reed.drury@gmail.com.  God is going to continue to move, and I have never been more excited to see His love affect new people!

Missions Team
Prayers Welcome!!!!

After much prayer, I have also felt that God is calling me to YWAM Orlando after graduation in March.  I will be taking a school of worship class from April 2 - August 17, 2018.  I will continue to ask for missions support to complete this next step.  I will update you more when I return from outreach.

Financial support can be sent to Peoria Christian Fellowship Church, 610 Abington Street, Suite J, Peoria IL 61603. Please mark your giving "Education Fund for Reed Drury."
