"Love, love, love it!" Those are the first words that comes into my mind when I think about Lightbearers Ministries. I just stumbled upon an article about their progress, and I couldn't help but share in their excitement as they continue expanding their ventures. You can read the article here. Not only do they have a wonderful model of renewable missions support and student discipleship, but they also have passionate and visionary leaders. I've known the Exec. Director, Kevin McCollum (and his family), for over 4 years now. He's a wise man with deep insight into the Bible who strives to orient his life around what it teaches. He and his family have encouraged and shaped Hugh and me more than we can express.
Personally, I've been involved with Lightbearers here and there for awhile now. When Hugh and I were first married, I took a few of their classes (New Testament and Systematic Theology). Then, before I knew it, I was involved with discipling one of their students, and I was even able to play around a little with the landscaping at the apartment complex they now own. ;)
Hugh and I have been so pleased to see how the Lord has expanded this ministry over the years, and in our heart of hearts, we would one day love to see it spread even to Mississippi State! I hope you get as giddy as I do at the thought of such exciting work (discipleship + missions) being done in a sustainable way with sturdy Biblical teaching at its core. :)
