About Jim Drake
My name is Jim Drake and I am your Church Planting Catalyst Missionary for the Eastern Region of West Virginia. I am coming alongside you, your pastors, churches and associations to do three things—identify and develop people who are called by God to plant healthy churches, identify and develop places that are chosen by God to plant healthy churches, and identify and develop partners who are called by God to plant healthy churches. People, places and partners—all for the purpose of planting healthy churches that will cooperate with our existing churches to reach the over 190,000 unchurched people of Mercer, Raleigh, Fayette, Nicholas, Webster, Pocahontas, Greenbrier, Monroe and Summers Counties.

About Tony Inmon
Tony Inmon has served as a youth pastor, senior pastor, and church planter in various local churches in Mississippi and Virginia. He served as a Church Planting Strategist with the North American Mission Board and the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia from 2005 to 2009. He and his family followed God’s calling on their lives to serve as missionaries with the IMB in Uruguay for two years. Tony now serves as a Church Planting Catalyst for the Southwest Region of West Virginia.
Tony is married to Denita Inmon and they have a 10-year-old daughter, Taylor. Tony understands that God’s chosen instrument for carrying out His mission in this world is the local church. He also understands that starting new churches is the most effective method of evangelize and fulfill God’s mission to the ends of the earth. Therefore his hope for ministry in West Virginia is to walk alongside the local church to help them fulfill their God-given mission of reaching and discipling the lost in West Virginia and beyond.
