L.I.T. Ministries Newsletter - June 2017
A Lifetime Member’s Perspective of L.I.T.
We recently completed a training event at Iron City Baptist Church in Anniston, Alabama. One of the church members who attended was a lifetime member. Joyce shared her heart about what she heard and received from the training: “I have been in this church for seventy plus years. I have been a part of children’s ministry for about 35 years. We have had many programs come and go. I have taught Son Beams to preschoolers, GAs, Bible Drill—all kinds of programs, but I have never seen a better-implemented program than this one (L.I.T.). It teaches us more how to teach our children. I have been overwhelmed with how awesome this can be for our church. I understand that it is a concept that will be hard for most people to accept. But I think that if we can teach our children in the right way and lead them to Christ and show them how to minister and share their faith, this can be one of greatest programs this church has ever seen. I encourage every parent to be a part of this. I can’t stress enough how important it will be.”Ministry Update from Clint May
The summer is upon us. I am so excited to see what the Lord does in and through the lives of the preteens and students who will attend this year’s L.I.T. Mission Trips. We have three trips planned and are getting ready to head out this Friday for Oklahoma City. We will be staying at Emmaus Baptist Church. On this trip, we have five churches joining us to minister in OKC. I am forever grateful for our staff and their role in the mission trips. It is such a blessing and joy to watch them take the lead and carry on the ministry. I have learned so much watching their faith grow and them stepping up to God-sized challenges and seeing Him carry them through every time. Thank you for your continued prayers and support of L.I.T. Ministries. Be sure to watch us on Facebook. We will go live several times during the mission trips so you can see firsthand what the Lord is doing. You will also see daily postings of pictures of the trip. https://www.facebook.com/LeadersInTraining
