The Johnstons Mission Trip UPDATE!

As you may have heard, David and Michelle Johnston are planning to visit Angola in April 2023! Over the past few months, they have collected donations to help fund this trip and help fund donations they plan on taking with them. Lakewood has overwhelmed them with donations, so much so that their plane tickets and vaccinations have been paid for! Thank you so much for you donations and support of the Johnstons!


This leaves Lakewood with different opportunities to support them. The first and most important is to pray. Be in prayer about the support they will receive to go, the lives they will impact, and safe travels in getting there and back.


Second, they are continuing to take monetary donations to help fund clothes donations that they take with them as well as help fund a "No More Malaria" campaign to help treat Malaria in Angola. Any monetary donations can be given to the church with "David/Michelle Angola" in the memo line.


Lastly, they are taking very gently used and new clothing donations for boys 0-16yrs. This could include shoes, shirts, shorts, etc. These donations can be given to David and Michelle or brought to the church office.


Icel Rodriguez will also be visiting us to preach and give us more information about the ministries in Angola! She will be visiting us on January 29th to preach during our 11am service.
