Greetings From L.I.T. Ministries

Greetings from L.I.T. Ministries.Picture3 2

It is hard to believe that what was birthed in the summer of 2002 is still making an eternal impact on children in the U.S. and now worldwide.

Now 21 years later, I have had opportunity to talk with many young adults who point back to their early years in L.I.T. and share how it had a lasting impact on their lives.

They often recount how they were set on a deep spiritual course for life because of the spiritual disciplines they learned and especially through their personal experiences on the mission trips.

I took my first out-of-town preteen mission trip in 2004.

Age Is Not a Prerequisite to Serve God, L.I.T. October Newsletter

Age Is Not a Prerequisite to Serve God —by Sarah Gonzalez

Sarah

The first time I went on a mission trip with Leaders In Training, I was seven years old. Even though I was the youngest child there, I quickly learned that age is not a prerequisite to serve God. That week, I saw God move firsthand in many powerful ways.

Over the years, I attended seven mission trips; however, I still remember the first time I gave the Gospel presentation. I was nervous, tired, and did not feel prepared to teach in front of a crowd. Before I started, my leader prayed for me, and at that moment, the Holy Spirit took control. I don't remember what I said, but I remember feeling that God was using me to do His work and to glorify Him.

I am grateful to Leaders In Training because it taught me to understand that I have a responsibility to share the precious gift of salvation, and to do so. God is ready to use me as a vessel to glorify Him.

When Are You Going to Grow Up and Be a Real Minister?

Overcoming Fear to Love Those Who Are Hurting

There was a shooting late one evening at one of the ministry sites during our second mission trip in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The person took the life of his girlfriend and two of her children. HerPicture5 teenage son was able to escape through a bedroom window. Mike Lehew Director of Mobile Missions Network, shared with our teams that they were going out to minister to the families the next day. There was no danger because the person who did the shooting was arrested.

The leaders discussed what happened with the kids and their parents; they all wanted to go out to show God's love to this hurting family and the community's people. The love of Christ flowed through them. They were not fearful. They wanted to be there and love those people. Praise the Lord! Fear did not take over; the Christ flowed through them.

L.I.T. July Newsletter '23: The Power of the Gospel to Change Lives

Littleton, Colorado Mission Trip Report (June 11-21)Picture1

Words cannot describe our experience in Littleton, Colorado. The Lord blessed us in so many ways. The L.I.T.s were moved powerfully by the Holy Spirit in prayer and ministry in the community. Many lives were changed, both in the community and among those who attended the trip.

We witnessed kids praying intently for each other and for the community during the trip. It is an incredible joy to see the Holy Spirit work in and through them. You could tell the Holy Spirit was moving by the way they prayed.

We are forever grateful for Horizon Christian Fellowship and the leadership of DeAnn Noyes. What an amazing team of folks who worked to make the mission trip successful!
