Lindsay and Gina Reed are lovers and worshipers of Jesus with a passion to see the nations encounter His love in a healing & transformative way. Over the past 40+ years, they have pastored, planted churches, led discipleship schools, gone on missions outreaches, and served the local church. In the summer of 2024, the Lord spoke to Lindsay and Gina about attending Iris Global Harvest School of Missions to support their son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren (ages 1-3), who are attending the school in response to God's call to the nations, while receiving in-depth training and exploring future missions opportunities in Africa and Asia. They responded to the call and will be attending the school in Jordan and Egypt from October 7 to December 7, 2024. Three generations to the nations!
Iris Global's Five Core Values are...
1. We understand that we can find God, and can experience intimacy, communication and companionship with Him in His Presence, if we share His love for righteousness.
2. We are totally dependent on Him for everything, and we need and expect miracles of all kinds to sustain us and confirm the Gospel in our ministry.
3. We look for revival among the broken, humble and lowly, and start at the bottom with ministry to the poor. God chooses the weak and despised things of the world to shame the proud, demonstrating His own strength and wisdom. Our direction is lower still...
4. We understand the value of suffering in the Christian life. Learning to love requires willingness to suffer for the sake of righteousness. Discipline and testing make saints out of us, and produce in us the holiness without which we will not see His face and share His glory. With Paul we rejoice in our weaknesses, for when we are weak we are strong. Under great pressure we learn to rely on God, who raises the dead (2 Cor. 1:9).
5. The joy of the Lord is not optional, and it far outweighs our suffering! In Jesus it becomes our motivation, reward and spiritual weapon. In His Presence is fullness of joy, and with Paul we testify that in all our troubles our joy knows no bounds (2 Cor. 7:4). It is our strength and energy, without which we die.
First and foremost, Lindsay and Gina desire a team of intercessors who will cover them and their family, as well as the Iris Global Harvest School of Missions staff and students. They are also looking for partners who will help cover the tuition/travel costs ($25K+) for all 7 family members who will be attending the school.
A one-time or monthly gift of any amount would be greatly appreciated. All gifts are tax deductible.
Thanks so much for your prayerful consideration!
Lindsay and Gina
