My Testimony (about me)

Willie Drone was born in 1967 in Kansas City, MO, a second-generation preacher with 6 sisters. Willie grew up in the church and at 7 years old; he sat on his dad’s lap and asked him, “Daddy why did you stop preaching?” He stated to his son that he just hadn’t had any engagements; Willie responded by saying, “If you don’t preach, I’m going to preach!” At the ripe young age of 11 he gave his life to the Lord.

During a very traumatic time in his life his mother was shot and killed at age 14, as he watched her die his life changed dramatically. At this point he began to really seek God, and was filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit six months later. At 18 he joined the navy. It was at that point that he felt the call to the ministry. He later called his father who confirmed the call of God upon his life. For the past 20 plus years Willie has been preaching the gospel.

Willie came to the ministry of Teen Reach in March 1999 after visiting the L.A. International Church, also known as the Dream Center, where Matthew Barnett is the Senior Pastor. In June 1999, Willie was asked to be the worship leader for “Friday Night Live” at the L.A. Dream Center. In August 1999, he left his job as Sales Executive for Browning-Ferris Industries, to go into full-time ministry.

Willie served as the Director of Teen Reach. He also served as Sr. Associate Pastor of Spirit Life Church located in Scottsdale Arizona. He is a licensed ordained senior chaplain, affiliated with the International Fellowship of Chaplains. As a community advocate, he was actively on the advisory board of the AACFA, (Arizona Alliance for Community and Faith-based Action).

The areas of ministry he is currently involved in are: Conference Speaking, Leadership Development, Pastoral Care, Pastoral Leadership, Prophetic Praise and Worship, Youth Ministry, Evangelism and Crisis Intervention.

On May 11, 2003 Willie married his beloved wife Leisha Drone. Together they have a son named Samuel and a daughter named Elysia. Together in ministry they are a forced to be reckoned with, for she too shares the same passion for the lost to see people set free and delivered.
