Who we are
Drop Inn Ministries helps to build schools, support street children and offer a Christian lifeline to many of the world's poor. It was founded in 1994 by Pastor Ronnie Dawson of Northern Ireland to provide International Humanitarian Aid in the service of Christ.
Since 1999, Alison and Steve Taylor in the Isle of Man, have been involved with taking humanitarian aid to Belarus. With fundraising efforts well underway, it was recommended that the Isle of Man became a branch of Northern Ireland and a Manx registered charity in 2003. Since that time God has richly blessed the work, providing funding for orphanages, hospitals and the community. In addition, the number of countries they can now support has increased.
The Isle of Man Drop Inn Ministries opened it first Thrift Shop in May 2007, opened by Rev. Malcolm Peacock.
