We are excited to announce that we have a team returning to The Quessua Mission located in Angola, Africa, this August of 2025. The team members include David and Michele Johnston, Kevin Ray (August 2 - 30), Don and Lisa Thompson (August 2 - 15), and Stephen Grant (August 13 - 28).
Many tasks will be needed as we seek to serve: repairing things around the mission station, making the Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to treat malnutrition in the area, launching a Celebrate Recovery or similar program at the mission, helping with the Sunday Luncheon at Quéssua UMC that feeds over 500 children, supporting the work of the missionaries in various ways, and visiting the Quéssua school and villages to strengthen the education program.
We ask that, first and foremost, you please keep us all in your prayers. Please pray that our hearts remain turned to God as we seek His voice, pursue His will, and serve him in any way He asks.
If you would like to make a donation to assist in this mission trip, you can donate online to Lakewood Church and choose Angola in the drop down menu or by check to Lakewood Church, 6133 San Jose Blvd., Jacksonville, Fl.
If you give online, please select Angola Mission, and if you have a preference on who you'd like to give to, please include that on the memo line (Johnstons, Thompsons, or Grant). If you write a check, please designate Angola in the memo line, and again, if you have a preference on who receives the donation, please include that as well. We are deeply appreciative of all of you!
