The Kyle Lake Foundation was established with its 501(c)(3) designation in March 2007 in memory of the former pastor of University Baptist Church in Waco. The author of two books, "Understanding God's Will" and "(Re) Understanding Prayer", Lake impacted thousands for Christ with his Christ-centered life, contagious personality and effective communication style. Kyle was electrocuted on October 30,
2005 before 800 worshippers while preparing to baptize a former Baylor University student. Through the foundation that bears Kyle's name, the Lake family seeks to continue the focus of Kyle's ministry, which is making the presence and message of Christ both real and meaningful to an ever-changing world. The Foundation exists to assist Christians and Christian churches to be better equipped for making the presence and message of Christ both real and meaningful in an ever-changing world. Organizations the foundation has supported include Kids Across America, Royal Family Kids Camp, Truett Seminary, Make a Wish Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Doulos Discovery School, University Baptist Church, Family Legacy Ministries, and the e3 Partners Ministry.
