Lydia Strickland
Lydia started going on mission trips in high school. After she graduated, she continued to go on more mission trips to different countries when given the opportunities. The Lord placed a fire in her and she knew that the Lord was calling her to use her life for Him by serving those in other countries. She had the opportunity to serve in Tanzania, after serving on and off for the past 5 years she knew that this is where she was called.
Lydia’s heart is reaching the next generation by ministering to and engaging with the kids in the rural muslim villages in Tanzania, Africa. She ministers to the children in the local villages through the children’s programs she is creating for the church. Also she is able to reach even more children in her afterschool arts program for children in the nearby villages, for their creative minds to expand. Throughout the programs she is able to share the gospel through to children who may have never heard the gospel before. She is so excited to reach the next generation and by doing so be able to draw the current generation to the gospel.
