Lynne first went to Guatemala in 1989 as an AIMer under the supervision of Bro. T. W. Drost. In 1992 she followed the Drost family to Mexico where she worked in the national office, Bible school and children’s ministries for seven years. She eventually returned to her “first love”, Guatemala.
She became a fully appointed missionary in 1996 and has been working in Bible schools and children’s ministries ever since. In 2002, she was appointed as the children’s ministries coordinator for the Central American & Caribbean Region. She has traveled to many nations promoting children’s ministries, teaching seminars and holding children’s crusades. Her goal has been to see Sunday school established in every Pentecostal church in the region.
In 2003 she received her career missionary appointment after serving for fourteen years. Most of those years, she has had the privilege to work side by side with Brad and Regina Thompson, who she feels are great missionaries and true friends. She has served as a Bible school administrator for nearly twenty years, with over 500 Bible school students each year and twenty-four schools in operation around the country.
This past term she began a new adventure with the establishment of an orphanage. HOME International (A Home for Orphans, Ministry and Education), received their first child in October 2016. HOME is a fully accredited children’s home working with Child Protective Services for the abused and abandoned children of Guatemala. This has literally been a dream come true! Sis. Lynne was an orphaned child from New Brunswick, Canada, that the Lord has used to provide a place of healing to every child that steps through the doors of HOME.
