Gary Prisk Memorial Missions Fund

When he met Christ, he knew immediately that he had discovered real truth and surrendered his life to preach the gospel. With his wife Cheryl, whom he met at Bible college, he started the Bible Baptist Church of Oak Harbor, a small town in Washington state, and pastored there for thirty years. From the beginning, Gary Prisk saw the importance of training up men to start other churches. Through the curriculum he produced, initially just for his own men, thousands have now been trained for ministry in local churches around the world.

Despite his quiet demeanor and simple commitment to the local work of the ministry, God used him to influence and encourage pastors and many others throughout the entire Pacific Northwest and beyond.

In order to help pastors develop a burden for church planting and pastor-training, the fund sponsors a number of "delegates" (pastors and their wives or key personnel) each year to attend one of the more impactful conferences in the nation. Two of the primary meetings that the delegates will be attending are Paul Chappell's Leadership Conference in California and Heartland Baptist Bible College's Ministry Refresher Institute in Oklahoma. All travel expenses and registration fees are paid by the fund.
