“Revival Fire: 40 New Believers Through L.I.T. Preteen-Led Missions”

August 2025 Newsletter

L.I.T. July Newsletter – Fire on the Altar by Russ Zacek

Heaven is celebrating as 40 people came to Christ during L.I.T.’s July mission trips to Norman and Tulsa, Oklahoma! Nearly 95 participants from multiple churches preached the Gospel, served local communities, and empowered preteens to lead in ministry. Partnering with Immanuel Baptist Church and Mobile Missions Network, the teams conducted Kid Power Camps and Camp Inside Out events, where the Holy Spirit moved powerfully—10 children in Norman and 28 in Tulsa made decisions to follow Jesus. Leaders and missionaries experienced deep worship, discipleship training, and revival fire, inspiring many churches to launch their own L.I.T. ministries. With a renewed passion, Dr. Clint and the L.I.T. team are preparing for upcoming conferences and training events to equip leaders worldwide to disciple and release preteens for Kingdom impact now—not someday.

Empowering Leaders in Kenya: Raising a New Generation of Disciple-Makers by Isaac Mphande

It is with great joy that I report the success of the Empowering The Next Generation conference in Nairobi, Kenya. The training was well received, and it was very impactful to see children's ministry leaders being trained to disciple kids who will make disciples too. Our newly edited training manual is a game changer for the ministry in Africa and around the globe. May the good Lord richly bless all who supported us to reach out and raise more disciples in Kenya, more blessings.

Operation Christmas Child Trip by Clint May

I had the honor of traveling to Boone, North Carolina, last week to meet with the OCC publication team. Joel Hayslip made arrangements for me to meet with their team to discuss our international training plan. Last year, they were working with 5.5 million children worldwide in 60,000 churches. Through their distribution of Christmas gift boxes, they sponsored a Bible study with those children. From their efforts, they led more than 3.5 million children to Christ. They were a big blessing to me and gave us advice for our training. My prayer is that they will take their ministry to a new level where children are discipled, equipped for ministry, and released for missions. I was so humbled to be there. The Lord is good, and what an adventure it has been for L.I.T.   

L.I.T. Kingdom Impact Conference, November 10-12, Weatherford, Texas

Throughout the past four months, we have been diligently developing our Empowering The Next Generation training to equip leaders worldwide. Our upcoming Kingdom Impact Conference is designed not only to strengthen and inspire leaders across the United States but also to prepare and train trainers for international ministry.

We ask for your continued prayers as we finalize this impactful event. We warmly invite leaders from across the nation to join us in this mission—becoming part of a growing team of international trainers committed to raising up disciple-makers globally. Click here for more information.

Online Training Recording

One of the most effective tools God has given us for training leaders globally has been our online training course. Through this resource, we have already equipped hundreds—perhaps even thousands—of leaders around the world.

Please keep me (Clint) in your prayers as I work on recording and editing updated training materials. I am currently walking through our newly revised training manual, which will not only enhance our international efforts but also serve as a powerful resource for churches to train their leadership in L.I.T. and Nehemiah Kids ministries.

What an Incredible Summer by Dr. Clint May

Words cannot express my gratitude to the many leaders who stepped us and served with us on our two mission trips this summer. It is a joy to pour your life into leaders and then release them to lead. What a tremendous joy it has been to sit back and watch them shine. We have a lot of things coming up this fall with our L.I.T. Kingdom Impact Conference. I am working on recording the new online training course. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@clintmay9292. You will find the training videos as well as loads of testimonies from our mission trips and from kids who have been impacted by L.I.T.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers for L.I.T. It has impacted this ministry more than you will ever know.
