In October I had the privilege of participating in a missions conference in Turkey.
It is such an honor for me to be invited to help lead worship for this annual conference that is usually held in Thailand. This is a great opportunity for me to meet men and women serving the Lord in various locations who come to the conference to gain insights and tools that are necessary in caring for others who serve cross-culturally. I learn so much from those participating, and it gives me
a better understanding of what our own LBF missionaries face as they serve.
One thing that seems to come up often when talking with missionaries is that many don’t hear from their church family, and they would love that contact.
We need to remember that our LBF missionaries are part of our church family
– they just don’t live here and can’t attend on Sundays. I thought it would be fun to highlight a missionary each month and include an email address. I would like to encourage you to consider sending an email just to let them know you’re thinking of them and praying for them. They would be so grateful to hear from you, even if you don’t know them. You could introduce yourself and let them know a little about you and your family. Your encouragement and prayer
support is vital, as life cross-culturally is difficult and very challenging.
