Back to the Mission Field

We’re thrilled to share that some of LMI’s cross-cultural missionaries are currently on their way back to Southeast Asia, having left Northern Ireland early this morning ✈️👋🏻😀.
 
This is the first time that any of our missionaries have travelled outside the UK and Ireland for work purposes since the coronavirus pandemic began.

We would truly value your prayers for travelling mercies and a blessed time of ministry in the weeks ahead.

LMI Trip down Memory Lane: Castlewellan Castle

The idyllic surroundings of Castlewellan Castle in County Down have provided an amazing location for many YEMF & LMI events over the years.

In the 80s, YEMF held regular gatherings at the castle, when young people came together to worship, pray, study, hear from missionaries and enjoy quality downtime together. Both home-grown missionaries and speakers from far-flung corners of the world challenged those gathered to think about the role they could play in global mission, and several baptisms took place over the years in the beautiful (but cold!) Castlewellan Lake ✝️

A Word For Your Week: Psalm 113:1-3

Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name of the Lordfrom this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!  

Psalm 113:1-3 (ESV)

The name of the Lord is higher than any other name in heaven and earth. He is the Lord and we want to be his servants because we love Him. He is the centre of our lives as we seek to serve him wherever he has placed us.

LMI Trip down Memory Lane: First LMI Office in 1981

In 1981, YEMF (now LMI) bought our first office at 147 Albertbridge Road, Belfast for £1,500 ☎️🙂.

A derelict building, the property took over a year to renovate. The tradesmen who managed the renovation project were Robert Glass from Castlederg and Norman McCreedy from Hillsborough, who were joined by teams of young, enthusiastic volunteers every Saturday morning. The total cost of the renovation was approximately £20,000.
