Special Service - Missions Session with Lynne Jewett and Colleen Carter
Special Missions Service with Missionaries Lynne Jewett to Guatemala and Colleen Carter to Gabon.
About the Missionaries:
Lynne Jewett
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. 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. 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.
This past term she began a new adventure with the establishment of an orphanage. HOME International (A Home for Orphans, Ministry and Education), received their first child 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.

As an AIMer, Colleen helped with MK schooling, taught at ACTS Ghana, operated the Pass the Word printing office, was involved in Reaching Africa’s Children while assisting the missionaries in many other ways.
She received her intermediate missionary appointment to Ghana in September 2007. After deputation and upon arrival in 2010, she continued the aforementioned tasks. In 2012 she moved to the north where she resided in Tamale for almost six years. She assisted with the growth of the church primarily throughout the three northern regions while working to further growth throughout the nation as a whole. Colleen taught at the extension Bible school in Tamale, coordinated the Pass the Word printing office, and was involved in training adults and children throughout the northern regions. She served as the northern regional Children’s Ministry director and the northern regional ACTS representative.
In June 2014 she received her Bachelor of Arts in Religious Education through distance education with Global University, Springfield, MO. At the beginning of her second term in 2015, Colleen upgraded to career missionary. She continued with the aforementioned tasks and also ministered at the female prison in Tamale. In November 2017, she relocated back to the capital city of Accra. She continues to fulfill her numerous duties while teaching again at ACTS Ghana.
She is the Bible Quizzing Coordinator for the nation, and also serves as the West Africa Sub-regional missions secretary/treasurer and the Africa Aflame literature coordinator. In September 2018, Regional Teaching Ministry was added to Colleen’s appointment. And in 2019 her field was changed to Gabon. Her profound love for teaching God’s Word is now spanning nations of the Africa region. Colleen Carter is originally from New Brunswick, Canada.
