Thomas M Mitchell // From the Board of Directors // March 2015
This past year has seen incredible growth for Life for the Innocent. The board of directors has been privileged to be a part of what God has done in caring for the most innocent of His children. The growth of this ministry and the Lord’s provision over the past 12 months have been an awesome blessing. We have been able to increase our budget to allow for added staffing, new homes, increased pastor discipleship, and most importantly, new lives in Christ, new homes, and new families. The support from Christians all around the country has been a great encouragement to all involved, both here and in Asia. As we look ahead to 2015, the Lord has expanded our vision. And in preparation for what He has set before us, the board is working with LFTI’s legal team to set the appropriate foundation in place to make sure that we are in compliance with all legal requirements both here and overseas. This will ensure that we will be prepared for the expansion that is coming in caring for the younger children in the homes, providing for the older ones through LFTI’s Tentmaker program, and encouraging and discipling the faithful pastors that reach out with the Word of God in the world’s dark and difficult places.
As a mission, LFTI has been given a tremendous responsibility as well as a wonderful opportunity to partner with Jesus in the restoration of lives, the saving of souls, the building of families, and the spreading of the gospel in Asia. The board is submitted to His calling, dedicated to the vision that has been entrusted to LFTI, and committed to carrying out His plan. And we are grateful for the hard work and all that has been accomplished this past year by LFTI’s faithful staff. Their commitment and dedication to the vision is only surpassed by the love that God has for each of them. You are all an inspiration and a true blessing to the family of God.
We look forward to seeing God move on behalf of all those here and in Asia that will be involved in the exciting year ahead as we in the West reach out to those in the East with the love of God.
