She Speaks Truth

Hannah Tynes is an amazing young lady that I had the privilege of teaching math and science to during her 8th grade year. She has a heart for serving God. Hannah was just at my house as she was venturing on a trek to gain support for her mission work in Zambia.

 

Hannah has plans to go to Zambia, Africa with Overland Missions for six months starting this June. Hannah went to Zambia in 2019 and fell in love with the land and the people. You can hear Hannah's love come through as we discuss her time there in Africa. Hannah is working to gather support for her mission time, with donations that will be recurring monthly and one time donations for projects such as a vehicle and a hut in the future. if you are interested in helping support Hannah through monthly or one time giving, you can click here to do that. She is always looking for prayer partners with her mission as well. You can follow Hannah's journey on her Facebook page, Hannah Tynes to Zambia. 

 

Hannah and I discussed books that we have read that have grown us closer to God. Here are the books that we discussed.

When it comes to leaning on the word of God and having a verse that leads our life, we both had words that we cling to. I have clung to Jeremiah 29:11 and Hannah referenced two different verses, Matthew 19:29 and 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

 

Hannah, we pray a blessing over your planning for your mission work and for you and your family as you go to serve.

In her business she encourages her teammates to reach their highest potential in their personal and professional lives.

Lisa does bring hope and inspiration to all those that she comes in contact with and I pray you are just as inspired by her words as I have been.
