PASTOR LUKY SHARES HER STORYSUNDAY
We are overjoyed to have Pastor Luky preaching atall three services Sunday, sharing the story of hercalling and her ministry. When she came to aMethodist church in the United States, she wasencouraged to stay and attend seminary. She said,“I told them I’m not interested, I don’t want tobecome a pastor.”
But the Lord kept calling and, eventually, she stepped forward. She said shealways wanted to be a missionary and now has the best of both worlds as amissionary pastor where she can work closely with the community.
"As a missionary pastor, I can do more," she said. "We can develop morecommunity programs, we can be more focused on the community."
And when she came here, she saw a Latino community that needed help.
“We can help and we should help,” she said, adding “I’m so proud Lehmanreceived me. It was one of the few churches that started a Latino ministry.”
