Serving in Crow Agency, Montana
Asking for your prayers

Through World Servants, Lisa Steven is heading to Crow Agency, Montana for the eighth year in a row. Sunday, we will be commissioning Lisa in the worship service- entrusting her to the Lord as He works in and through her. Lisa will fly out the morning of June 19 and will return July 13.

In asking Lisa what her responsibilities have been each year, she states, "My responsibilities at Crow Agency are setting up and organizing the work projects, buying all the supplies, community relations, lead training for all the teams, present evening message, organize the meals, assign work projects, guide the teams in VBS, nursing home visits and with a carnival, along with many other tasks. My title is Crow Community Specialist and Mission Leader for World Servants. My teams consist of: 48 the first week, 37 the second week, and 22 the third week. Teams arrive on Sunday morning and training starts at noon on Sunday. Teams work on projects, do VBS and nursing home visits on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. The carnival is Tuesday evening. I take the teams around to see the local sites on Wednesday. As you read above I will need much prayer because the days are extremely busy and my responsibilities are great.

My prayer requests are: I will be hands and feet for Jesus to the teams and community. Also, travel for all the teams, most are driving from the east coast area. Also that participants will come with an open heart and mind. God will be working in everything."

Note: World Servants provides a short-term mission experience that organizes people in a community around a common task that benefits the broader community around it. Their desire is to develop people as both servants and leaders in the their everyday lives. They believe these learning opportunities will result in the transformation of individuals and communities across the globe. Their mission statement is "to mobilize a global network of people to impact the world through Jesus Christ by responding to physical and spiritual needs."
