I actually introduced Lamon to missions in 1965. We were still in our teens. We had met and started dating in February of that year, and in March my family and I went with a group from our church to Sonora, Mexico on a week-long mission trip during Easter break. Lamon couldn’t understand why anyone would want to go on a mission trip during “spring break”….especially to Sonora in the middle of the desert. He witnessed my obedience to God’s calling as I faithfully dedicated my Easter breaks to mission outreach events.
We got married in 1968 while Lamon was in the air force. After he was discharged in 1970, we started going to Mexico on mission trips together and Lamon was hooked!! He loved being among the people and serving and giving of himself with the gifts that God had given him.
In 1978 we expanded our outreach to various other places. Lamon’s passion for missions inspired many others to accompany us to Baja, Alaska, Ghana, West Africa, Swaziland. People were generous in their giving, but Lamon felt like we could reach more people and raise more money if we started a non-profit, where their gifts would be tax-deductible…
