Why do we keep going back to Union de San Antonio?
The Missions Committee accepted the role of Strategy Coordinator Church for Union de San Antonio with the International Mission Board (IMB) at our 2006 Lynwood on Mission Celebration.

What is a Strategy Coordinator Church?
A Strategy Coordinator Church (SC Church) assumes the role of the field missionary or field coordinator for an area or people group. Since Lynwood has accepted this role, the IMB is not going to devote any personnel or resources to this area. If the Gospel message is going to be shared in this area, it is a result of Lynwood’s trips and efforts. For more information about an SC Church, go to the IMB MAC Region website (http://www.macregion.org/) & click on the SC Church button at the top of the webpage.

What is our goal as the SC Church?
Our goal is the share the Gospel and plant an indigenous, self-supporting, reproducing church in Union de San Antonio!

What is a Family Conference?
A family conference is when we work with IMB Missionary Dennis Johnson to host a seminar on a topic relevant to families, like marriage, parenting, addictions, etc. Each person attending gets a chance to fill out a survey and give feedback. As a part of the feedback, they can choose to study the biblical truths of that topic in a small group - a home bible study! The conference attendance keeps growing with each new one we offer!

How many home bible studies have been started from the Family Conferences?
We currently have 3 different home bible studies that have begun from the different family conferences. We are getting closer to getting a home church planted.
