Lunch with Lynette

While many were sending flowers for the funeral, someone suggested we ask people to give to what Jordan cared about more than flowers — “unreached, unengaged” people groups in some of the darkest nations in the world. Since then, what started as a random idea has became far bigger than our family could have ever imagined. We call it Jordan Lewis Missions (JLM). Ron and I share the JLM story via a new podcast in the link below. Small, large, and every-size-in-between gifts have resulted in... - 4 churches started in the large tribe Jordan was in right before his diagnosis - 3,517 underground churches formed in nations that heavily persecute Christians - 10 church buildings constructed in India for the unreached - 95 house churches now serving Syrian refugees - 102 water pumps have brought clean water in Pakistan - And so much more... Considering we have no staff, this is beyond explanation! On this #GivingTuesday it’s a reminder that wonderful things can come out of the darkest loss and despair. Whatever losses or heartaches you’re experiencing, I hope you’ll keep giving because nothing does more good for the heart and soul.
