Was Drost in Colombia or Uruguay in 1966?

An interesting book about Pentecostalism in Colombia ... that I got to peruse in college has some fascinating history about Larsen, Morley, Thompson, Drost and others from a outsider's "sociological" perspective.

Here is an excerpt:

On page 234 it says "leaving Peru was almost as hard as leaving Columbia; in fact, it was harder in one respect: the work did not have the degree of development that Columbia's work had when they left."

In the Pentecostalism in Colombia book its says he left to Uruguay in 1959 ... perhaps he returned back to Colombia?

Was his son In Mexico around 1995? And his grandsons as well? I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Mexican UPC National Conference that year.

They were doing an excellent work in Mexico at that time.

And the politics were wicked - - - just as they are today.

By 1969 ... the push for a national based work came to a head in Colombia ... wanting no more American based intervention

Morleys and Thompsons resigned from the United Pentecostal Church of Colombia to stay under the American based org ...

Can one surmise that Drost was also looking for a ground that was less "politicized" in Europe?

Wicked indeed ... having spoken to some that were there ... nationals and missionaries ...

Including Pastor Barley who was in Venezuela and Guatemala ...

Read page 63 ...

Drost and Larsen ... went with Stairs under the Canadian branch ...

The Canadians were supporting the Colombian church to break w/ the US church ... circa 1965

This may answer your question, Sam.

I don't know if that was his son and grandsons but yes there were Drost's in Mexico. The one is now in Texas if I remember right. He is a fantastic preacher and great person in general.
