Lonnie Frisbee

Lonnie Ray Frisbee was an evangelist, missionary, artist, and the original "hippie preacher" of the early 1970s Jesus People movement. Born in 1949 and raised in Southern California, Lonnie played a key role in the growth of Calvary Chapel with Chuck Smith as well as Vineyard churches with John Wimber in the early 1980s. Lonnie Frisbee influenced ministers and ministries around the world.

In the last few years of his life, Lonnie became involved with Freedom Crusade, ministering at home church meetings alongside Jill Austin and continuing to spread the gospel through international missions.

Prior to his death in 1993, Lonnie asked Roger Sachs, founder of Freedom Crusade and a close friend, to ghostwrite his life story. Together they recorded hundreds of hours of audio and video testimonies to ensure that the stories of God’s working would be preserved for generations to come. The Not by Might, Nor by Power book series is the personal, compelling result of their collaboration, covering the life of this powerful minister of the gospel.
