Exciting News from Lakeside's World Outreach Missionaries and Ministries!

Praise Reports from Lakeside Missionaries

Latin America - Missionaries Stuart and Wendy Brown - (Main focus: Training ) The people they minister to in Mexico City are very poor and often do not have enough money to provide food for their families. The Browns give praise to God that they can teach them how to make garden plots in very small spaces, providing them with the necessary materials and seeds. Some can even put gardens on rooftops! Thank you Lakeside for your prayers and support!

This is where they train people how to make

garden plots with wood and rock!

Africa - Missionaries Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel (Main focus: Evangelism) Imagine no fresh water and having to get your water from a polluted creek! Rudi and Sharon are excited to report that they have drilled a well for their Seek and Save Orphan and Vulnerable Care Center and have found a strong flow of fresh water! The pump and pipes are being connected and the Center will greatly benefit from this addition. The Center provides a free daycare, a training center for widows and adult women to learn a trade or skill, and seniors gather there to receive care and communal support, as well as other benefits. Thank you Lakeside family for your prayers and financial support!!

The staff has named this the

Rehoboth Well because they said,

"The Lord has given us room and we will flourish!"

International - Priority One - Sam Johnson - (Main focus: Training ) Because there are more churches in Africa than there are Pastors, providing ministerial training is critical! Sam gives glory to God for the continued progress in the building of this dormitory in Lome, Togo. When finished, it will double the size of the capacity of the Bible School pictured at right. The West Africa Advanced School of Theology is the premier training center for leaders in West Africa, an area composed of more than 15 countries. Thank you Lakeside family!!

Prayer Requests from our Lakeside Missionaries

Missionaries - Many of our missionaries who serve across the globe are still dealing with the COVID Pandemic governmental regulations organizations in the countries they minister in. Please continue to lift them up in prayer as they utilize alternate sources to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the unsaved as they wait to be able to minister in person once again.

Italy - Missionaries Rick and Jennifer Pasquale - (Main focus: Evangelism) “We are in the hospital in Springfield, MO – shortly after his mom passed in May, Rick has had a sudden and aggressive virus attacking his system. We are asking for prayer for miraculous healing to manifest. Prayers for doctors to have Divine wisdom and treatment plan.” – Jennifer Pasquale “Please help us touch heaven on behalf of my daddy. We need a miracle. If you can do anything I’m asking you all to pray hard! I believe we serve a big God able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond what we can ask or imagine. Please pray specifically for a miracle in his brain.” – daughter, Ericka Peppers

Africa - Missionaries Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel - (Main focus: Evangelism) ask for prayer for Sharon. A few years ago, Sharon herniated a disk in her lower back, caused by the immense amount of air travel they have spent (over a hundred thousand air miles each year on planes) to share the gospel of Christ.

Europe - Missionary Reagan Glugosh (Main focus: Serving) - asks for prayer for the ministry team, volunteers and mothers with children at Hagar Home (a center that provides an alternative to child abandonment and the opportunity to provide a better future for at-risk mothers and their children), as Europe is in the third wave of the COVID pandemic.
