Summer Missions Wrap-up

By Carol Hawkins, Missions Coordinator 

Thank you LBF for your prayers, financial support, and encouragement to each of our teams and team members who went on summer mission trips this year. Your support means a great deal and you are standing in the gap with your prayers, helping to minister to others.

Both short-term teams that went to Japan and Nicaragua are home and reflecting on their time abroad. (Here is a more detailed run-down of the Japan trip and thoughts.) Check out next month’s issue of The Scroll for a closer look at the trip to Nicaragua.

I returned from Sri Lanka early last month and am so encouraged to have met some believers in that country who are making a difference in caring for the needs of widows and orphans, as well as others in need. It was a privilege to spend time with those precious people and help to paint a room (inside and out) that will be used for art therapy and an all-day seminar with approximately 70 attending women. I keep smiling as I see the faces of those widows and orphans and the joy that our visit brought.


Through experiences like this, the Lord reminds me that He is working in the hearts of men and women around the world. The Spirit of the Lord is moving mightily in the hearts of those who seek Him. He is not just God of the U.S., but of the whole world.
