 John
and Laurie Battermann-- Missions Coordinators The focus of the LSF Missions Committee is supporting full-time foreign missionaries. We desire to bless a few missionaries in a significant way, with our support making a considerable difference for them. While we do not directly oversee short-term trips for individuals or youth, we encourage them. We can advise you in planning for and partner with you in prayer for any trip that you are considering. Youth mission trips are directed by the Youth Pastors. We encourage individuals of LSF to get involved and "adopt" one of our missionaries--to regularly pray for, communicate with and, if possible, financially support that missionary. Our monthly meetings are open to everyone. Please check the bulletin for our next scheduled meeting. |

Japan Jim and Masako are missionaries to Japan. They have been in Japan since the mid-1980s, pastoring a church that they pioneered near Tokyo. Japan is not an easy country to minister in but they have a love for the Japanese people and their hard fought victories have been sweet. They have been especially effective with the children. Along with REACHING OUT TO THE JAPANESE PEOPLE, they are raising 4 children of their own. Over the years, they have been involved in many regional outreaches. For the last 3years Jim has been spearheading an outreach to train and equip Mongolian Christian Pastors. Please pray and consider how the Lord would have you help in this effort.

Jamaica New Hope Children's Home is a private, government licensed children's home in Jamaica that's legally incorporated for the care of children from birth to 5 years of age. Mr. Lincoln Williams and his wife Amanda are directors of the home. A teacher by training, Amanda started the home in 1993 after she saw a need for a home in Mandeville where God's healing and restoration could take place for babies or small children. Since then, the home has been blessed to see over one hundred children returned to their biological families, placed in foster care or released to adoption. Please pray and consider how the Lord would have you help in this effort.

Cool Water Ministires Mandeville, Jamaica Lake Sammamish Foursquare is the home church for Jay and Linda Cruze. Along with their Jamaican son, James, they are now in full-time ministry in Mandeville, Jamaica. After first visiting New Hope Children’s Home in Jamaica in the year 2000; and later taking teams to work in various ministries there, Jay retired from 26 years in the corporate world to move to Mandeville in Central Jamaica. He and his wife Linda adopted a five-year-old Jamaican boy from New Hope Children’s Home and volunteered as teachers and counselors at Jamaica Bible College for two years. All the while, they served with various children’s homes as needed. Jay and Linda saw a great need when they realized that the older children leaving the homes were ill-prepared for society. That need created such a burden in Jay and Linda, that in 2005, they established a non-profit corporation called Cool Water Ministries. The focus of the ministry is to provide for the boys, who will be leaving the orphanages, a transition home setting where they receive biblical instruction, discipleship training, life skills, and instruction in relationships, computers, health and fitness, money management, and other various topics. It is their desire to prepare the boys to ‘mainstream’ into society as healthy, productive adults where they can gain employment and serve their country. email: jlcruze@cwjamaica.com Please make checks payable to LSF with
attached note for Cool Water Ministries. |
