Exciting News from our Partnering Missionaries!
Praise Reports from the Mission Field During This Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic
  • Michigan - Gateway to Glory/Steve and Robin Malek report that this "Stay Home, Stay Safe" season has been a beautiful opportunity for digging deep into the Scriptures, spending time being still before the Lord, and learning to have a bold trust in the midst of a season of change. Though the jail ministry has been delayed, the transition homes are going strong. All the men and women residents are still growing and learning to trust the God Who Provides.  As this season draws to a close, the chaplains are looking forward to being able to go back into the jail with a new zeal to serve. As the Lord has been filling us with His words, we look forward to "spilling" that living water all around! Thank you Lakeside family!!
  • International - Priority One/Sam Johnson reports that 369 graduates of Koubri Bible College in Burkina Faso, West Africa completed their studies and were sent out to pastor or start new churches in West Africa! Because of your giving Lakeside, Bible Colleges like Koubri are being built around the world by Priority One for the training of Ministers (Pastors, Evangelists, Missionaries, etc.) to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you Lakeside for your support!
