We have already had a whirlwind week, coming off of a busy weekend.  So many positive things are happening in the LINC universe these days.  I am just to thankful that God is allowing us to impact the lives of many, many families.

Luke 10:2 (New International Version)

He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

“Everything lies and falls on Leadership” (John Maxwell). We believe that an intentional leadership development process can multiply glocal-missional leaders. It is absolutely crucial to have leaders to plant new missions/ministries in the vast mission field of Texas and beyond.

LINC has a “farm system” for equipping and sending of new missionary pastors, church planters, and deaconess for the mission field.

We’re just thrilled about what God is doing and will do through our already 20+ committed missionary leaders in the coming season, but also through the following new church planters or missionary leaders.

Please keep the following new LINC Church Planters (Pastors) or missionary leaders:

• Rev. Ben Gonzales: LC-MS Ordained pastor, @Our Redeemer, Target audience: Multi-ethnic, English Speaking, currently having weekly Bible studies with 30+ people)
• Pr. Ino Malespin: From Nicaragua, @Trinity, Klein, Target audience: Hispanic, Spanish Speaking, currently having Bible studies with 20+ people). He is a certified chaplain. He is a colloquy candidate.
• Pr. Jimmy Irving: a colloquy candidate, Afro-American, English Speaking, Husband of Barbara Irving who is current LINC Board, Both of them are founders of Light of Faith Ministries / Project Lift.

• Pr. Nelson Hernandez (Concordia Seminary Candidate, Hispanic, Spanish Speaking, House Church in His Apt. Complex (10 + people) and will plan to meet @Bethany as they grow up in numbers)
• Jorge Mosqueda (LINC Bible Institute Pre-Seminary level training Student, @St. Mark, Target audience: Hispanic, Spanish Speaking)

Pr. David Kim is also working with the following three potential church planters by intentionally sharing the vision and mission strategies of LINC:

• Dr. Johnson Petta: Asian Indian, Colloquy candidate
• Abraham Tamang (Nepali Pastor)
• Emanuel Agook (Sudanese Pastor, Cross-cultural and Muslim outreach trainer)

Along with your incessant prayer on behalf of them, their respective families and ministries, any of your financial or ministerial support would also be greatly appreciated.

St. Timothy Lutheran Church put their faith into action this Sunday on behalf of LINC Houston.  At all three worship services, Pastor Steve Henze cut his sermon short and encouraged those in attendance to go out and purchase food to help stock LINC's food pantry.  Volunteers from a bible study fellowship along with St. Timothy Lutheran worked from 7 am until mid afternoon loading donated goods into a large trailer.  Throughout the morning and early afternoon, worship-goers came back with trunk-loads full of food and the trailer began to fill up.  

In July, Lifebridge Church partnered with the Eritrean Evangelical Church to bring Vacation Bible School to Los Arcos Apartments.  The beautiful children, most not English-speaking, caught the hearts of the adults who facilitated the VBS.

Help us be successful in raising our goal of $75,000.  Because of two generous lead gifts, our costs for the gala are already covered.  The great news is that every underwriter's gift will now go directly toward the mission of LINC.  Please consider underwriting our Gala at one of the levels listed below.  You will be recognized by those in attendance not only for your generosity but also for your desire to reach into our under-served communities with love and compassion.  To make your gift, you may download this form or you can register online.

LINC Houston is raising funds to help families provide uniforms and supplies for their children.

Back to school means it's time to buy school supplies and uniforms. It broke our hearts last year when several mothers came to our offices a week into the school year to ask for assistance. Their children didn't yet have school uniforms and weren't allowed to attend school. We quickly did something about it and were able to help several families purchase uniforms and supplies.

This year, we have observed an increased need among the families we serve. Many don't have the money to pay for food and bills, let alone school uniforms. We have identified the families who are most in need and are attempting to help them with this issue. Our minimum goal is to help 200 children and can easily distribute more that that to impoverished families.

 Sydney is one of our beloved clients who survived Hurricane Ike even after a tree fell onto the middle of his roof and destroyed much of his living space.  LINC Houston through the work of many volunteers was able to repair his home, but the ministry continues.  

Sydney lives alone and suffers from a painful type of bone cancer.  Every time he raises himself up slowly from his recliner, he groans.  We have actually seen him cry a couple of times from the intense pain.  Through a mini-grant for unmet needs through NCI, his case manager Michelle was able to purchase a gently used recliner that lifts up with an electric motor.  The chair was delivered and Sydney was overjoyed.  

Sydney is a survivor in so many ways.  We are blessed to have the privilege of serving him with Jesus' love.

 Comunidad de Gracia is a bilingual ministry on the East side of Houston.
