L.I.T. Has Provided Me with the Perfect Program to Implement the Training in Honduras by Tim Setliff
When I became aware of L.I.T. Ministries, I realized how important it was to disciple children and teach them how to walk with Jesus. L.I.T. has provided me with the perfect program to implement the training. Maria and I are using the resources to disciple children in our ministry. We work with 23 local churches in our area. We provide teacher training, lessons, and materials for their children's Sunday school classes. In our next training class, we will introduce the pastors and teachers to L.I.T. Ministries. We are believing God to do amazing things in Honduras.
Vision for Future Growth of L.I.T. Ministries
Vision for Future Growth of L.I.T. Ministries by Dr. Clint May
What a joy it is to serve the Lord and join Him in His work. About twenty years ago, He gave a vision for the local church and has now moved it worldwide. I am truly humbled by what He has done. As I shared last month, I reflected on what the Lord has done and was praying for clear direction. I asked many of you to pray for me as I sought the Lord.
The Lord has made it clear that we will reach millions of children with the Good News of Christ and disciple, equip, and release them to minister in the church and as missionaries in their countries.
To do so, we need to train an additional 10,000 leaders by 2030. Will you join us in prayer as we take this step of faith, believing that God is calling us to press on and join Him in His work internationally?
L.I.T.- Where Do I Start? March 2024 Newsletter
L.I.T.—Where Do I Start? by Blake Hayworth
L.I.T. Ministries changed my ministry to children for many years. I saw a lot of young lives transformed as we walked our kids through the material. Many of our students mark these years in their lives as truly life-changing and the most pivotal time and change in their walk with Christ. During these years, I saw children serve in areas where children would have never been asked to serve. When talking to a number of these students, I find they have continued their daily discipline of Bible study and serving. I have experienced many of my students surrender to full-time ministry and serving in local churches. I could go on and on about the impact that L.I.T. has had, some of which will never be known on this side of eternity! (Blake Hayworth is the Missions & Recreation Pastor at FBC Ozark, Missouri.)
Leaders In Training Changed Me, My Ministry, and My Family
by Mike Lehew
It's been more than ten years since Leaders In Training changed me, my ministry, and my family. It wasn't a curriculum or a program, but it was discipleship. I was mentored by Clint, and he, in turn, taught me how to disciple others, most importantly my family. They grew up spending time in the Word and exercising their gifts to serve in the church. It challenged us to move away from consumer-driven kids ministry to discipleship-driven ministry. Today, our ministry exists because of the influence of Leaders In Training and seeing God use kids to advance the Gospel.

I Am Not Ashamed That I Am a Christian by Caitlyn Conover
Being a part of the L.I.T. program has been the highlight of my year since I first started. I began L.I.T. when I was in 5th grade. I am currently in 12th grade, and I am still involved.
It teaches lots of things that stick with you through hands-on experience and serving in different roles. Because of this, my eyes have been opened to how I can help at home and in the communities around me.
