What Are Mission Champions and Mission Partners? (Part 1)

Lakeside works together with both local and international mission partners to help us spread the love and good news of Jesus. Our missions champions are people in our Lakeside family who have each committed to connect with one of our missions partners, stay in close contact with them, support them through prayer, and communicate with Lakeside about what is happening in their partner's work.

 Hear what these Lakeside mission champions have to say and learn a little about this week's highlighted mission partners:

 WAY Ministries, Malawi: "We’ve seen the mission grow from a single school for orphans to a significant organization run by Malawians to educate a large number of children and families from preschool through college. It's not charity; it’s an investment in the lives of people for whom education is their path to a richer life and a knowledge of Jesus." —Jim & Deb House, Mark & Julia McDowell, Emily & Carl Brayton (6th grade)

 WorldVenture, Mozambique: "We were drawn to this mission because of the way Rodger and Lynne Schmidt are working to actually transform lives of the people of Mozambique. They employ dozens of people and enable them to earn a good living. They also form real relationships with them and introduce them to Christ. " —Graham & Marlene Sykes

 Amor Ministries, Mexico: "I love that Amor Ministries works through the local churches to find out the needs of the community. They demonstrate to the poor the same grace we have all received through Jesus."  —Kelly Gratiot
