Louie Inks

Rev. Louis Inks is founder and President of Reign Ministries.  He has a passion for discipleship and seeing students impact the world through missions.  He has been in youth ministry for 52 years and served as a youth pastor for 24 of those years.  Louie has spent many summers serving in Israel and many other countries.  He challenges students to own their faith and understand the philosophies and principles behind their choices. Louie views effective communication and servant leadership as critical tools in the hands of today's students.  He seeks to develop hearts that drive social and world change by impacting students at the core of their spiritual development.  As a result of his leadership experience and desire to train the next generation of leaders, he formed the Nehemiah Team.  This team focuses on asking students to go deeper into missions and their relationship with the Lord.  The team is comprised of alumni students who exhibited the desire and maturity to serve on this team. 

Louie begins the training by dialoging with the students on the year before the team through a series of shared studies and applied projects.  These studies form the base of discussion when the team gathers at Training Camp.  The team begins the overseas portion of their training in Israel.  Louie has developed deep friendships with many people in and around Jerusalem during his 25 trips to Israel. Through his friendships he is able to lead the students through the life of Jesus and opens their eyes to the unique customs and lifestyles of Jesus birthplace.  From Israel, Louie leads the team throughout Europe sharing Christ with the post-Christian people located around major European cities.

Louie enjoys traveling worldwide to speak to churches and schools about missions and leadership.  He loves his family deeply and is especially fond of his great-granddaughter who brings him constant joy!  With deep sadness, Louie walked the road of grief as he lost his beloved wife of almost 50 years this past year to cancer.  Peg and Louie founded Reign together and she shared his passion for reaching students and seeing God at work through missions.  She was a faithful prayer warrior and will be missed.
