Laura's still in the middle of her college education, but in the meantime, it isn't keeping her from ministry. Remember all those years she went with us to Look Up Lodge . . .

Now she's a summer counselor there. Click here for her slideshow on LUL. Laura went to China in '09 on a mission trip and is headed back again in 2011. Click here to read about the upcoming trip or to financially support it.

"I do not know what my future holds in going back, but I do know that I'm excited to serve alongside and minister to our brothers and sisters in Christ. I will be traveling with a team of students from North Greenville University. Our goal is to change lives by spreading the Word of God and sharing the love story of Christ Jesus with whomever God places in our path. We will primarily be working with college age students and young adults at a university campus."

And now, the big news, Laura has officially begun the process of applying to the IMB's Journeyman program. This is a program for people 21-26 years of age who want to commit to two years of overseas mission work. They train, then they go. It often, but not necessarily, leads to full time mission work. It also is a great way for young adults to do something life-changing before settling down with a career and family. Click here to learn more about the Journeyman program.
