Why should I serve with LAMP?
1.) Opportunities to proclaim the gospel
“If we are sharing and showing love, we may be impacting someone without realizing it. If we can give His LOVE and HOPE to one person, it is a trip well worth the time.”
— Vernice, Southend, SK
2.) Eye-opening and life-changing experiences
“I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew it would be difficult, but I had no idea how rewarding it would be to work with the children and see my fellow team members with kids clinging to them!”
— Emily, Grand Rapids, MB
3.) Develop relationships and grow in faith
“I understand better that serving God is not always about the words we share, but often just about being there.”
— Chris, Southend, SK
4.) The need to hear of God’s love found in Jesus
“While in the community, a young man working in the store thanked us for what we were doing. He remembered the previous LAMP team from Texas. He said it was because of VBS and the team that he believes in God and goes to church regularly… and then we saw him at church.”
— Dana, Lac Brochet, MB
5.) Strong relationships and respect in the community with invitations to serve alongside them
“We sometimes need outside help to encourage those who are doing ministries in their communities. They help lots to bring the gospel to people who have no help and no hope. People think nothing will change. We need to give them hope in Christ. We need people to encourage the workers -- pastors, ministers, etc. They rejuvenate and uplift us workers.”
