Pastoral Training
Lynette serves in Uruguay, the least churched country in the Americas, with only 4-5% of the population actively practicing Christianity in general. It is a highly atheistic nation with little organized religion and much need for training of pastors and church leaders.
As the daughter of American missionaries, Lynette was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, grew up in Tucumán, Argentina, and completed her undergraduate education at the University of Oregon (BA Political Science, 1995). Because of her cross-cultural upbringing, she has a good command of both English and Spanish.
Sensing God’s call to missionary service, she moved to Montevideo, Uruguay in 2004, ministering for 15 years alongside pastoral teams to plant churches. This experience gave her the opportunity to grow in the areas of disciple-making, teaching the Bible and witnessing, introducing secular and atheistic Montevideños to Jesus. In 2021, she returned to Uruguay to work with Comunidad Bíblica Universitaria (Intervarsity Christian Fellowship). For four years, she provided training and support to evangelical university students to help them reach nonbelievers. She enjoyed accompanying students as they discovered the Word of God, grew in relationships with nonbelievers, and gained a heart for sharing the Gospel.
Lynette is now working toward her master’s in Biblical Studies through Lancaster Bible College, while partnering with organizations such as Langham Preaching and the Hurtado Foundation to train pastors and church leaders in Uruguay how to effectively teach the Bible. She is excited to help pastors and teachers grow in their skills and to develop safe places for them to be honest about their needs. Lynette also teaches a Bible study in her local church, where she is on the leadership team.
Having been on staff with GLINTS since 2021, Lynette appreciates that GLINTS has helped her become more effective in her ministry by encouraging partnerships with local ministries and organizations, and giving her the flexibility to follow God’s leading to meet local needs.
As Uruguay is a nation with many immediate spiritual needs, please pray for more spiritual laborers to assist Lynette and for God’s guidance as Lynette balances ministry, school and personal life.
