Lynne first went to Guatemala in 1989 as an AIMer under the supervision of Bro. T. W. Drost. In 1992, she followed the Drost family to Mexico where she worked in the national office, Bible school, and children’s ministries for seven years. She eventually returned to her “first love”, Guatemala. She became a fully appointed missionary in 1996 and has been working in Bible schools and children’s ministries ever since. In 2002, she was appointed as the children’s ministries coordinator for the Central American & Caribbean Region, continuing in that role until 2022. She has traveled to many nations promoting children’s ministries, teaching seminars, and holding children’s crusades. Her goal has been to see Sunday school established in every Pentecostal church in the region.
In 2003, she received her Career Missionary appointment after serving for fourteen years. For most of those years, she has had the privilege to work side by side with Brad and Regina Thompson, who she feels are great missionaries and true friends. She has served as a Bible school administrator for nearly twenty years, with over 500 Bible school students each year and twenty-four schools in operation around the country.
In 2012, she began a new adventure with the establishment of an orphanage. HOME International (A Home for Orphans, Ministry, and Education), received it’s first missionary profilechild in October 2016. HOME is a fully accredited children’s home working with Child Protective Services for the abused and abandoned children of Guatemala. This has literally been a dream come true! Sis. Lynne was an orphaned child from New Brunswick, Canada, that the Lord has used to provide a place of healing to every child that steps through the doors of HOME.
During this past term, Sis. Jewett was approved as a Global Educator. She has had the wonderful privilege of traveling to several nations translating for special guests and teaching faculty development courses through the GATS (Global Association of Theological Studies) Program. What a blessing to be able to impact many nations as she continues to teach and train others to carry the torch of the Gospel around the globe. She has also written a book called Disasters Minister, which is about living in faith through all of life’s disasters. In the book, she shares many personal missionary stories that will build your faith as she shares what the Lord showed her through each and every “disaster”.
