Welcome to the official website for the Drum Family - Billy, Laurie, Ryan, Miles  and Sarah. The Drums have been sharing the love of Christ with the  people of the United States, Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, and Peru since 1996.In 2006 the Drums made a decision to serve full-time as career  missionaries in South America.  After a lengthy process of preparation,  including sharing the vision, fundraising, cross-cultural mission training and  formal language training, Billy and Laurie joined The Mission Society to work with their South American mission team in Peru.
Billy and Laurie share Christ’s love with the people of rural Peru. Having both spent many years as teachers in the USA, they have a heart for education and are called to help children and families and communities who do not have the ability to obtain an education in Peru.  In 2009 they founded the Kuyay Talpuy program, which means “sowing seeds with the love of God” in Quechua.  Through the Kuyay Talpuy education centers, the Drums are able to touch the lives of children, their families, and their communities.  Laurie & Billy are also active in community development, community health outreach and discipleship programs.They have a strong desire to build cross-cultural relationships and share the love of Christ with the people of Peru.  The Drums have a passion to share the love of Christ with the people of Peru and to help Peruvian nationals carry out both the Great Commandment (to love others) and the Great Commission (to make disciples throughout all nations).
The Drums have three children – Ryan, Miles, and Sarah. Ryan and Miles are currently living in Texas studying and working and beginning their lives as  young adult men.  Sarah is living in Peru, studying and serving alongside her parents in mission.
Our  hope and prayer is that God will be glorified in all that we do.  We would love  to have you join us in that journey through prayer or financial support. Please  enjoy our photos, videos, and newsletters.
