2019 L.I.T. Ministries Report-November Newsletter

As we approach the Thanksgiving season, I want to personally thank you for your continued prayers and support. We have had an amazing year! We have seen the Lord work in countless ways on our 29 mission trips between 2004-Tanzania2019. We have heard remarkable testimonies of life changes from the many churches that we serve in the United States and Canada. And now, we are in awe at how the Lord has expanded the reach of L.I.T. into 11 countries beyond the U.S. Little did we know in the summer of 2002 where God would take this ministry today. L.I.T. Ministries has been blessed to be a part of a vision that is now impacting thousands of children internationally.

As we look forward to 2020, the Lord has made it clear that we are to:

L.I.T. October 2019 Newsletter-L.I.T. in Piedras Negras, Mexico

L.I.T. in Piedras Negras, Mexico Update by Alex and Diana Aburto

71584243 10157772018294558 1342838365661167616 oL.I.T. students and staff from Vine and Branches Ministry, Piedras, Negras, Mexico, headed an hour down the road to Acuña City for a day-long mission trip. We invited 35 children from the ranching community to come to our friend’s farm for the day. The students were the missionaries sharing the Gospel, counseling those who desired to accept Christ, sharing their testimonies, leading the worship, games, and class time while their mentors looked on and encouraged them. It was so delightful to watch the L.I.T.s trust God to work through them (for some their first time on a mission trip), leading outreach or responding to the Holy Spirit guiding in this way.

Releasing Preteens to Minister-September 2019 Newsletter

Releasing Preteens to MinisterFreedom

It is a true joy seeing the impact of churches around the United States and international. I talked with Russ Zacek, and he is seeing the fruits of releasing children in his church to lead. His preteens are leading out and teaching in their children’s church services. His son, Freedom, taught one Sunday with amazing confidence. He even turned a backflip during his message. I love how the Lord is raising up children and preteens in our midst and using their gifts to His glory. It is amazing to step back and experience God’s presence and power, just like we do when they discover God’s purpose for their lives.

From Fear to Fearless Preteens Hearts Were Set on Fire for the GospelDSC 9391

One of the things I love seeing on the L.I.T. Mission Trip is watching preteens turn from fearful to fearless. As we watched them arrive this summer in Waxahachie, Texas, Catoosa, Oklahoma and Lewisville Texas, there was a little bit of a fear that you could see on the L.I.T.s faces, especially for those who were on the mission trip for the first time. Their fear turned into fearlessness in a matter of four days. What brought this about for them was experiencing their faith firsthand. Many times they cried out to God for help and strength and we then watched Him come and intercede on their behalf. I truly love this form of discipleship. We get to witness God’s hand working in their lives throughout the week and it becomes obvious in how their countenance changes. The confidence builds and when they leave the trip they are ready to go home and conquer their world. This summer over 200 preteens (4th, 5th and 6th graders) lead 84 people to Christ. It is our prayer that they will return home and continue their mission trip experience.

L.I.T. July Newsletter: We Had an Amazing Preteen Mission Trip Last Week in Waxahachie, Texas!

Waxahachie Group Shot

Last week was an amazing week for our 29th L.I.T. Mission Trip in Waxahachie, Texas. Nine churches came together to work as one. Doors were opened at the Salvation Army and the Children’s Home for us to minister. This past week, more than 70 preteens went into the community to minister. They arrived a little fearful, but their confidence level excelled throughout the week. These shy introverted preteens became fearless for the Gospel as they experienced the Holy Spirit’s presence speaking in and through them. These young missionaries led 50 children to Christ! What I love the most is that they get it. Our discipleship plan is working because many of them will take it home with them and reach their neighbors and friends as well. We celebrate with the angels over these 50 whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. We also rejoice in taking part in discipling these preteen L.I.T.s and lighting a fire in their hearts for the Gospel.
