New Christian Movie
" Same Kind of Different As Me" is an incredible true story out of North Texas, in connection with our mission partner, Union Gospel Mission in Ft Worth. Also, one of our LWLC member's daughter is married into the family portrayed in the movie. So our church has a double connection to this movie. After seeing the movie you will probably want to join our team from LWLC to serve dinner at the Union Gospel Mission twice a month. God just might do something amazing through you that will become a movie someday. In theaters nationwide starting this Friday, October 20th. See the link below for more information, and to watch the trailer.

A Prayer Request from our Mission Partner, Rev. Bill Moberly with Awakening Lives to World Missions:
Please pray for our mission trip to South Africa. Blessman International has invited ALWM to consider partnering with them to increase participation in short term mission trips to their ministry base in Mokopane, Limpopo, South Africa. This is a seasoned and fruitful ministry that is having a kingdom impact. We are thankful for this opportunity to possibly network together and reach more people with the Gospel, help the poor, and transform lives!  Please pray for us as we travel there to spend time with founder Dr. Jim & Beth Blessman and their SA leadership.   Expectantly In Christ,  Bill & Sally
