Maud Kelly passes into Glory

Everyone at LMI was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Maud Kells OBE, a dedicated servant of Jesus whose perseverance, love and missionary zeal inspired people far and wide.
 
It was a deep respect for Maud and her incredible efforts that motivated Declan Small, our Digital Developer, to write a blog piece about her life for his ‘God’s Emeralds’ series, as he sought to inspire others as he himself had been inspired by her. You can read his blog entry here: https://lmi-org.net/latest/blog/422-gods-emeralds-maud-kells
 
We give thanks to God for Maud and trust that her family and friends will know the Lord’s comfort, peace and keeping in the days ahead.

YSO Mourne Wall Challenge 2023

For the second year in a row, Danny Roberts and a gang of brave, generous and incredibly fit people will take on a HUGE challenge, all with the aim of raising funds for our Youth & Schools Outreach (YSO) work!
The Mourne Wall spans 15 mountains and runs for 22 miles, which the team hope to trek in one day. You heard me right - one day! The aim is to raise funds to aid in the day-to-day work of the YSO team, as well as to go towards a potential opportunity for the team to undertake a programme involving school and church work in Kenya next summer.

A Special Partnership Appeal

Dear Friends,

Over the last 46 years, we have witnessed the Lord take what He called us to do and transform it in an amazing way, from a small group of young people meeting in a house in East Belfast, into an international mission with four distinct yet united areas of ministry and fifteen overseas partners.

We give all the glory to God and are deeply thankful and humbled by His grace, help and provision. And we want to thank you, God’s people - individuals and churches - who have stood with us in the past and who continue to do so, providing the financial and prayerful support that enables LMI to grow and develop.
