ABOUT ME

My name is Tim Drinkard, and I am from Oskaloosa, Kansas. For five and a half years, I was a missionary to the country of Panamá, specifically among the Emberá indigenous people located at the edge of the Daríen Jungle in the southeastern part of the country near Colombia. On February 13, 2022, the Darién Baptist Church was born and was handed over to an indigenous pastor of the Emberá People, Pastor Chango Casceras, whom I had the privilege to disciple and train.

During the church planting process, I also started two refugee camp ministries. One is located in the Darién jungle, and the other, inside the former military training training camp of Manuel Noriega. 

​By God's grace, in 2020, I witnessed an incredible work of the Lord specifically among the refugees from Cameroon, Africa, in which hundreds came to Christ through the preaching inside the camps. Through Christ I was the first missionary/pastor in the country to have been granted full access by the National Director of Immigration. I was able to consistently distribute the gospel in eleven different languages.

​I consider my time in Panama to be the cornerstone of my ministry training and what has helped mold and shape my approach to the ministry today.

NEW  DIRECTION TO PORTLAND

In 2018 while visiting family in the Northwest, I was passing through Portland going into Vancouver and stopped at a car wash. It was there I met a young homeless man named Philip who was from Ukraine.  After speaking with him about the Lord, Philip bowed his head and heart and received Christ as his Savior. 

 

​Several weeks later I returned to Panama to continue the ministry and shortly thereafter, God brought Philip to my heart and mind and called me specifically to serve Him in Portland, Oregon. 

​​

In early 2023, I was sent out of Pocatello Baptist Church as a church planter to Portland Oregon. And then April 2023 a survey of the work began in Northeast Portland. During this time I began an in home Bible Study, door-to-door evangelism, street out reach to the drug and alcohol addicted, and humanitarian aid to various homeless camps. 

After a  little over a year the Lord began making it more increasingly obvious and working on my heart to relocate to a more public and visible space. This is especially essential in a high-crime, high-drug use area. For this reason, I am raising additional monthly support in order to prepare for the official launch of what will be Multnomah Baptist Church.
