Join us Tuesday, June 4th at 5pm to hear from our missionary speakers, Terrance and Ingrid Lustaña, from the Philippines. This is an all church potluck, so bring an item to share!
-----------------------------------------------------
Growing up, Ingrid, a Guatemalan-American born in Florida, dreamed of
working in animation and computer art, but the Lord had different
plans. Through certain circumstances, Ingrid was forced to attend
Trevecca Nazarene University where her passion for mission work was
ignited, and she graduated with an Intercultural Studies degree. Right
after graduating, she became a missionary in Thailand teaching English.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Terence, a Filipino
from Iloilo, dreamed of becoming a professional badminton player, but
the Lord had different plans for him as well. Through certain
circumstances, Terence felt a call to full-time ministry from church
leaders, but was hesitant on what and where that might be. He served as a
youth pastor in different churches and held leadership positions within
his district and non-profit organizations.
While both were getting Masters degrees at Asia-Pacific Nazarene
Theological Seminary, Ingrid and Terence found themselves working
together in World Mission Communication (WMC), the media center for the
Asia-Pacific Region. Ingrid in the graphic arts department and Terence
in the video department. Through prayer and encouragement from the
Regional leaders, Ingrid discovered a place for her passion in art and
ministry, and Terence affirmed a call to mission work.
Today, Ingrid and Terence are married and are beginning a life of
ministry together. During the day, they work with WMC to create content
and resources for the Region, and after office hours, they serve and
reach out within their community through counseling, tutoring, and
sports ministry.
Please pray for the Lustañas as they continue to serve in the
Philippines, the work of WMC, and the people they are reaching out and
discipling.
