Beak trained at the London Bible College, was ordained deacon in 1953 and priest in 1954, serving his Title (curacy) at St John's Church, Tunbridge Wells, 1953–1955. Associated with the Bible Churchmen's Missionary Society 1955–1956 and 1984–1989, he spent 1956–1969 and 1984–1989 in Kenya. Between these stints, he was a parish priest in Devon.

All of these appointments ended with his 1984 appointment and consecration as Assistant Bishop of Marsabit [3] in the Diocese of Mount Kenya East, [4] Church of the Province of Kenya, where he remained until 1989. He brought development to Marsabit by planted churches and trained evangelists. Through Crosslinks, he oversaw feeding programmes and helped the Government distribute.
