Lynn


About Me - I have been happily married to Darren for 25 years. We have three children who are now all young adults. I am a Speech Language Pathologist and work with young children who have speech and language impairments.

What do you do at ABC? I am the co-team leader for the Outreach Ministry Team and as such, help to coordinate and participate in the local and global outreach ministries of our church.

Why are you going on this mission? I hope to learn more about the joint work of the local churches and Canadian Baptist Ministries in Kenya and to gain a greater understanding of the outreach opportunities that Darren and I may have in the future.

What are you looking forward to the most? I am most looking forward to meeting the people of Kenya and seeing the church in action through its community development projects.

What would you like prayer for? I would appreciate prayer for myself, our team members and our church as we return to Canada – that we could make sense of the experiences we have had and be open to how God would want us to live as global Christians in our world today.

Verse - 1 John 3:16 – 18 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Mom, I hope that you had a safe trip over and that you aren't too tired or have any health problems so far. Mom, I am praying that you would bond and grow with the team and that you would be open to how God is speaking to you. I am already praying for your return home and that God would continue to change you through this experience. I love you so much! Laura
