Summer Missionaries Come & Go

By Carol Hawkins, Missions Coordinator 

Short-term Teams & an Individual Head Out From LBF 
It’s exciting that we have two teams going out this summer on short-term trips.

Nicaragua Team (July 6-13): Russ Parker, Noel & Debbie Norton, Shirley Loza, Stacy Townsend, and Rob Vance. Please pray as they make plans, raise funds, and meet together as a team. They are partnering with Living Water International by fixing broken-down clean water wells, teaching lessons on hygiene, and sharing about Jesus in villages across Nicaragua.

Japan Team (June 29-July 9): Jeff & Laura Taylor, Andrew & Amanda Bixler, Paul & Jenn Casequin, Erin Methvin, and Nick Sholz. This team is partnering with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) in Tokyo to do street evangelism with worship and other ministry opportunities. Pray for finances and details in planning.

Carol Hawkins (June 24-July 5): I’ll be going to Sri Lanka, an island nation off the southeast coast of India. On a team with six other women, we will serve widows and orphans as well as meet with the wives of local pastors. Please pray for health and safety and that God will use us to share His light and love.






LBF-supported Missionaries Return From the Field 
This summer we will have the privilege of having two missionary families come to visit us at LBF.

Leigh & Barbara Labrecque and their children will join us on July 28. They have been translating scriptures in Vanuatu (an island chain northeast of Australia) for the past 12½ years. This major project is complete and they will be moving to Canada with a change in ministry focus. Save that date and plan on joining us for a lunch reception in The Garage to hear more about their ministry and the many lives being blessed through having God’s word in their own language.

Pete & Mary Q will be with us August 11. They have been serving in Asia for more than 30 years and are currently working with the Mekong Minority Foundation as well as the Chiang Rai International Christian School in northern Thailand. Come and learn from their years of experience and hear more of what God is doing in Thailand.

LBF reaches around the globe and it will be an honor to have these two families join us and share what the Lord is doing in their part of the world.
