Bishop Ross Drysdale
Bishop of Eastern Florida
Among all my marvelous experiences and testimonies one stands out in particular , and that is the time that Bishop Keith Poland lived with me , and attended my church. That was an education in itself.
A little about myself: My name is Bishop Ross Drysdale. Through Foundation Ministries International I am the Overseer and Head Bishop over the Florida Region. I received the Holy Ghost on September 15th 1962 and was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ on October 31st 1963. God has also miraculously healed me of stage 4 cancer. I have written my testimony of that.
I am a product of the public school system of the city of New York. I graduated from Wagner College on Staten Island with ABA in History and Education. subsequently, I went to the University of Florida, Jackson State University, and also Cypress Bible College. I have achieved ABA in History and Education.
I also hold a Master's Degree in German, an Honorary Doctor in Education from the Northern States Education Association, and I also hold a Doctor of Theology from Cypress Bible college. I speak three languages, English. Spanish and German, and have preached in all three of them. I have also established Calvary High School, a correspondent school for adults.
I was the founding Bishop of the first Pentecostal church of Zambia, Africa, which is widespread in that country now.
In conjunction with Reverend Herman Silgaro, I helped establish the Spanish United Pentecostal Church in which I received ordination. I pastored a church in New York City for 1 year before coming to Florida. I pastored the First Pentecostal Church of Inglis, which is in Inglis Florida for over 40 years and established a number of satellite churches and ordained many ministers. I have held a license with the United Pentecostal Church, The Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, and the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I taught in the public school system of New York City, and also as a public school teacher in a high school in the city of Ocala, Florida, as well as serving as the Principal of Calvary High School. I have published four books, And to do so I established the Apostolic Press my own printing company. The books which I wrote and published are.
” I know I never shall forget” which contains my personal testimony . Also, “What Jehovah said; an expose of Jehovah's witnesses? “ My major work of theology which is entitled “ If you know these things." Plus another book which contains my experiences as a minister entitled,” Now it can be told”. I also helped David Wilkerson establish "Teen Challenge" in 1960 which is a ministry that was launched by the Assemblies of God.
