My name is Eric Drake. I am a husband, father of four, Pastor, and Character Coach for a local High-School.  About 2 years ago my wife and I found out that one of our daughters was diagnosed with an inoperable Brain Tumor. Needless to say we have had our good and bad days since finding this out. Over all our daughter has done amazing with this and we know that it is because God is in complete control of this situation. It may sound weird to say, but we have been so blessed during this time in our lives, and we know that it is only because God has shown us things we wouldn't have normally seen had our daughter not been diagnosed. We have days where we want to hide from the world, but most of our days are good because we are reminded that the only hope we have is found in Jesus Christ, and He is more than enough for us. It is because of this situation I have had a fire lit inside my heart to let people know that Jesus is our only hope and that He is more than enough. 

The expedition begins with the 40 mile hike from Nazareth to Capernaum known as The Jesus Trail. We will train the team to share the Gospel with Arabs and Jews and do so along the way and at the places we stay. After the 4 days of Ministry in the Galilee, we will then travel to The Negev Desert and work with an Unreached People Group-The Bedouins. There is a huge breakthrough now that the Bedouins have opened up to receive teams and they are also open to the Gospel. 

Thank you for your prayers and support!
