I’m extremely happy to introduce a new series here on the Beacon that addresses the topic of “missions” in the context of LBC. Our little church isn’t so little anymore, and there’s a pretty sizable number of attendees who have come since the last set of trips in 2015. So this will be a fantastic opportunity for people who’ve been-there-done-that to reflect and reminisce, as well as for the relative newcomers to discover why missions is such a big deal at LBC. And more than just knowledge, the hope here is that this will lead to greater church-wide involvement in this particular ministry.

Maybe you’ve asked yourself one or more of the following questions:

• What is LBC’s theology of missions?
• Why do we go to the Czech Republic and Argentina?
• Who’s going?
• What even happens on a missions trip anyways?
• How can the church help?
• What’s a “Meinolf?”
• Where can I immerse myself in media relevant to past trips?

All of these and more will be answered in the coming weeks. I’m looking forward to it myself, and I’m really looking forward to getting these articles in front of all of you.

See you next Monday!
