Greetings, LifeMission Family!It's been quite the summer for us here with the transformative GO conference, some exceptional short-term outreaches, and really powerful Mission Mondays among other things. We are grateful for your unwavering support and enthusiasm as we enter the Fall season.
Mark your calendars for September 22nd and 23rd as we gear up for something truly special: "Senders U" Training. This upcoming event, in collaboration with All Nations, a trusted partner of ours, is a remarkable opportunity for all of us to delve deeper into our roles as senders.
In June, our missions conference resonated with a powerful message: "Go, Send, or Disobey." We've embraced the call to action, recognizing that there are countless opportunities for us to engage with missions on various levels. For those of us who are not in a season of “go”ing, now is the time to dive into the opportunity to send.
"Senders U" isn't just a training event; it's a journey of discovering how we can leverage our unique callings and giftings to take part in the Great Commission through sending. Whether it's your anointing of hospitality, your gift of encouragement, or your knack for connecting with people, there's a role for you in sending.
We understand that the command to go isn't feasible for everyone in every season, but the command to participate is universal. The training will unveil a range of ways you can actively contribute to missions, shaping lives and communities across the world. Together, we'll explore how sending is not just a necessity, but a privilege and a vital piece of the mission puzzle.
Get ready to be inspired, equipped, and ignited to play your part in sending. Let's continue to build on the momentum from the GO conference as we gather to learn, grow, and step into our sending roles with purpose and passion. To register for the Senders U weekend, please click HERE! All dates, times, and locations can be found at this link as well. Thank you for your ongoing dedication to spreading God's love to the ends of the Earth. We can't wait to embark on this new chapter of missions with you!
Blessings,
Pastor Jacob Lierz

South Asia Short Term Outreach TestimonyWe visited several schools on our trip including the last one being a women’s Christian college. While this was a Christian college, many of the students were unbelievers who come from Hindu backgrounds and families and are just seeking a quality education. Members from our team led worship and shared testimonies. We talked about trusting the Lord, anxiety, feeling unworthy, and having gods before the One True God, Jesus. In Hinduism there are many gods, though three of the gods they worship, they name as the creator god, the destroyer god, and the protector god. We proclaimed the Lord as the Creator of all things, the One who destroyed sin, sickness, and death, and the God who protects and delivers us. At the end of the message, when invited to stand if they believed there is no other god before Jesus, every single one of the 180+ women in that room stood up and prayed a prayer of salvation! The people in South Asia are beautiful, passionate, vibrant, and they are created to worship. The Lord’s heart burns for these people and He is jealous for them, desiring all worship to be devoted to Him alone. The Lord was jealously, lovingly, and extravagantly pursuing each of the women in that room. It was incredible to witness His majesty, knowing that one day He will be proclaimed as the One True God, King of all throughout all South Asia and to the ends of the earth. - Caylin |

 Missionary Spotlight!Samantha M. is a LifeMission sent one who was just launched back to the field out of this year’s GO Conference in June. She is now back living in Indonesia full time, ministering through prayer and worship and relational evangelism unto seeing discipleship-making movements. The island she lives on is predominantly Hindu and unreached, but she and her team continue to see powerful moves of God as they share the gospel in boldness!
Samantha recently shared a testimony of seeing a young girl she met at the store receive Jesus! While she and a friend were out shopping, they noticed a girl and felt prompted to talk to her. They learned that this girl had recently moved from the northern part of the island to the southern part where they live; they began asking her questions about Jesus and the gospel to which she replied she had never heard before. After sharing the good news, Samantha felt prompted to invite her to ask Jesus into her heart, this girl joyfully received salvation! After receiving salvation, the girl wanted Sam to tell her friends and family about this good news because they had never heard about it before either; the harvest is truly plentiful!
Prayer Points:
- Samantha was recently sick and is still dealing with a persistent cough, please pray for total healing in her body.
- She is also is applying for a new visa; pray for favor with the immigration office and for her to receive the visa without any complications.
- Pray for continued open doors to share the gospel and to disciple locals.
