History-Why Lithuania?
In 2003 a
church Mission Team felt
the need to take part in a mission journey in another part of the
world. One evening, Emily Hiatt and Libby Myers, who were head of
their church mission team, took a look at a packet filled with
mission trips all over the world. That evening a paper about
Lithuania fell out onto the floor; they looked at it and stuck it
back into the file because they had never heard of Lithuania. The
form fell out two more times that evening, and on the third time,
they looked up Lithuania on the computer. The first thing they saw
and heard were the children of Lithuania singing; as they listened,
they began to cry, and both looked at each other and said, “I know
where I am going.” The following summer Libby and Emily, and three
other gentlemen from their church joined a conference team to
Birzai, Lithuania. They fell in love, not just with the people, but
more in love with Jesus Christ.
