Bill Drost
Disclaimer: I'm not asking this for the sake of Gossip or to slam an individual or an organization. I'm just curious.
A while back I read the book, "Bill Drost the Pentecost."
It is a biography of Bill Drost, an Apostolic missionary, and it is has a copyright date of 2000 by Word Aflame. It is a great book about a great man and what he did for God.
Today I was searching through a bunch of old Pentecostal Heralds and I found the following notice on page 7 of the July 1966 issue:
SPECIAL NOTICE
This is to advise that William
F. (Bill) Drost and his wife Ruth
have withdrawn their member-
ship from the United Pentecostal
Church. Because of this they are
no longer missionaries of this or-
ganization.
S.W. Chambers
General Secretary
Can anybody tell me what happened?
On pages 233 and 234 of the biography, that is about the time he left South America and went to Spain.

IF I am not mistaken, I think he wanted to change his field of work/labor and they would not let him, so he went on his own. But my memory is vague.

Re: Bill Drost
I believe Keith is right. Drost felt God was calling him to a different field and the UPC missions board would not approve his change of country.

Re: Bill Drost
Crazy times in South America in the late 60's and early '70s within the missions field ... especially in Colombia.

Amazing that God would use a Trinitarian AOG Evangelist/Faith Healer the one and only Smith Wigglesworth to confirm his calling too.
I wonder if Epley thinks he was saved.

Re: Bill Drost
He, along with Wynn Stairs , and a group of several other Ministers
all left the UPCI at the same time - Part of the problem was the %
of Missionary Funding being withheld by headquarters -

Any evidence that Drost was "not preaching the New Birth message", Bishop?
Didn't TF Tenney level this charge in the early 70's about some on the mission field ... especially in S. America?
