EVEN SO SEND I YOU (JOHN 20:21)

For 44 years we have been compelled by these words of Jesus Christ, who told us that “just as the Father sent Him, in the same manner He was sending His disciples”. It is our aim to go wherever He commissions to preach the Good News of salvation and freedom through the Son of God.

Our Mission

Over and over since beginning in the 1980’s we have heard these words from thousands of church workers and leaders:  “I was ready to quit…but I am now encouraged to press on in my calling”; “The message you brought was exactly what we needed; it was a word from the Lord for our situation”. 

Bringing an on time message from God’s heart to people, churches, cities, and nations has been our assignment, and now in our 5th decade of doing so, we have seen countless lives impacted and transformed, with well over a million souls hearing the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

What We Do

Our joy is to come alongside those already leading in ministry, or preparing to lead, providing them counsel, friendship, and the word of God needed for their life and ministry situations.

We Preach

Bringing messages from God’s heart and Word to equip and encourage is our joy, as the living Word of God transforms and sets people free.

We Disciple

Our heart is to love and equip the upcoming young generation of leaders, serving them with authenticity and transparency.

We Bless

Numerous ministries globally are supported monthly, including care for orphans, widows, evangelism outreaches, & the benevolent provision of food, shelter, & medical care.

We Travel

Across 135 nations thus far, wherever God may send. No place is too far, and no people group too remote. Assisting others in pioneering into unreached areas of the world is our passion.

Learn More About Us

Kelly and Lenora Brake have been passionate for world missions since their childhood, both having been called to cross cultural evangelism and outreach at around the same time in 1973. They met at Nyack College in 1980 while preparing for ministry, and ever since then have devoted themselves full time to preaching the powerful good news of Jesus Christ.

Pastoring for 16 years in New York, traveling to over 135 nations, and ministering to more than 300 people groups in some of the most remote places of the world, the Brakes are dedicated to going wherever God may send to share God’s grace in every way possible.

We were born in the early 1960’s, married in 1983, and now have been blessed with 3 children, 6 grandchildren, and a peaceful home base in Florida during those weeks when we are not on the road. Next to our ministry assignments, our times with family are the most important events of our calendar. We love celebrating birthdays and the holidays together, as well as family activities such as hiking, trips to the Smoky Mountains, and roller coasters!
