From the CMO President
|  In March, LTC hosted a Homecoming celebration. After listening to reports from alumni, we are even more committed to persevering in preparing Leaders for the Church in SE Asia. Did you know, LTC graduates minister among 13 language groups in 3 countries of SE Asia. There are graduates who live and preach in places where persecution is a daily risk. Others make routine outreach trips into creative access countries in the region.
Did you know, LTC graduates are planting new churches in both rural and urban communities. (Click here to read about one LTC alumni church planter. )
Did you know, LTC graduates are reaching out and rescuing both girls and boys caught in the sex-traffic trade, providing safe havens for children from abused and dsyfunctional homes, ministering to those in prisons and providing support for newly released prisoners and the list goes on and on.
In short, LTC is the staging ground for training Kingdom Workers who are spreading out across the region and impacting people's lives.

David & Deloris Filbeck...... Pass the Torch!

 | | LTC Alumni pray for David and Deloris |
After 53 years in mission work, David and Deloris Filbeck decided to retire and return to live in the USA. It was not an easy decision as the ministry is growing and moving into new territory.
But, David's doctor strongly recommended they return to the US and see about new Parkinson's treatments. So, the decision was made. David, Deloris and their youngest daughter, Catherine, would return.
The Filbecks will live in NIxa, Missouri. Their phone number is 260-564-0943. The email address remains the same; ddfilbeck@gmail.com.
