Tour of Lifeline's Latin American Locations
A few weeks ago, we returned from a four-country tour of some of Lifeline's locations in Latin America. We visited El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama. We were able to spend significant time with Lifeline's leaders in those countries and see the ministries in action. There is some amazing Kingdom work going on there! We are so excited to work more closely with these leaders in the future. For more details on the trip, click here!
In the coming months, we will be sharing more about the work God is doing in these locations and how you can get involved!

One Year Ago...
Yesterday, July 7th, marked one year since Jovenel Moïse, the former President of Haiti, was assassinated. One year later, his family still has not found justice, there have been no elections to replace him, and the state of the country continues to worsen. Even amongst that backdrop, we believe that Jesus still sits on his throne as King, keeping his promise that he is a "compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished..." (Ex. 34).
We invite you to take a moment of prayer today, asking God to comfort the Moïse family and to bring justice, not only to the family but also to our brothers and sisters in Haiti who continue to live in very difficult circumstances.

At Lifeline, we Stand 4 Five:
-
transformed youth – because today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders
-
thriving churches – because more people need to hear and experience the good news of Jesus Christ
-
restored health – because living stronger lives opens brighter futures
-
stronger family income – because microloans unleash possibilities for families
-
mobilized communities – because there’s power in serving God and others together
Your gift will help someone in need in a challenging place. Because of your gift, a child in need in Haiti can receive low-cost healthcare; a student in Ecuador can attend an affordable school; an entrepreneur in Honduras can receive a microloan to expand her small business; an at-risk teen in El Salvador can find Jesus through a youth outreach ministry.
We invite you to give to "Stand 4 Five" today!

We will be sending our Prayer Team regular updates on what specific prayers we are focusing on, along with updates on what God is doing.
