Chip Kirk
Chip Kirk uses ventriloquism to entertain and change people’s perspective on Mission and Evangelism. Many people who won’t give a preacher the time of day will eat out of the hand of a ventriloquist. There is just something about that little man up there jabbering away without that other guy’s lips moving that intrigues audiences of all ages. Chip & his ventriloquist figures present orthodox truth in some rather unorthodox ways combining belly laughs with Bible learning. It’s not just for little kids, but for kids of all ages.
Check out this video of Chip and his friend Junior in action!
Chip’s ministry focuses on spiritual renewal that subsequently leads to missions. “I believe,” he says, “that the greatest hindrance to world missions and evangelism today is a lack of spiritual reality and authenticity in the lives of Christians, which leads to confusion, disillusionment, and complacency. I also believe that the greatest motivation for evangelism and world missions is for Christians to possess and embody a passionate, authentic, and holy love for Jesus Christ. A Christian embracing that intimacy and reality in Christ will not have to be pushed, prodded, or manipulated into sharing his or her faith.
Click here to learn more about bringing Chip to your church. He will make your people laugh and cry, but most importantly, they will leave encouraged and motivated by Biblical truths that are fun and not easily forgotten.
The Bill Drake Band
Musician, preacher, worship leader, author.....yet above all, Bill Drake is committed to being a servant. He comes to minister, and to motivate God's people in a way that is passionate and relevant. "I don't see myself as a musician with a message," says Bill. "Rather I am a preacher who happens to use music." The variety of creative arts Bill employs work together to convey a powerful message that it's all about worship, about mission, about facing the reality of God in our lives.
Whether through his riveting testimony, or through opening the Bible and sharing its truths, Bill has an amazing gift of connecting to an audience or congregation in a way that is exciting, enlightening, and challenging all at the same time. His passion to love the Lord and live for Him seems to consume every part of him, and is not only convicting, but also contagious!
Bill Drake and his team present multi-media concerts with a unique focus. The concerts are not simply about music, but about God and experiencing the reality of God in your life. The latest release is the "Crowns Experience" which will take you on a journey to find what you are willing to give your life for.
