What a joy to hear the enthusiasm of Serena & Elliot as they move forward with more language learning. It is no surprise to me that they are warmly welcomed wherever they go. I’ve not met Elliot but met Serena in 2010 when she was part of a student delegation from Concordia University Portland that attended a Women’s Leadership Institute weekend event at Concordia University Wisconsin. She possessed remarkable poise and leadership already at that time. I’m so thankful she followed her heart…and Elliot…to enter the mission field. Praying for continued blessings on their faith walk and vocation.
Elliot and Serena are truly a blessing wherever they go!
We thank God for people like you, Bonnie, who are praying for our missionaries, international partners, and programs. Together, we can put God’s Word in the hands of people around the world!
What a blessing to hear from Elliot & Serena Derricks and Rich Rudowski, all of whom worshipped with us while at Tranlator schooling in the Dallas campus. Rich and his family blessed us, and when the Derricks came, they only had Lydia, waiting for their next baby to arrive. I became the pew grammie for Lydia and love all three children with as much heart as I do their parents.
God chooses those whom He has given the gifts of service to His Son”s Kingdom’s growth on Earth.
May He continue to bless the Derricks , the Rudowskis and the missions of LBT workers worldwide.
Prayers and God’s blessings to all, in Jesus’ name. Amen

Really enjoyed the interview with Elliot and Serena. My wife and I are avid supporters of LBT and of Elliot and Serena (we’ve known Serena since she was 3) and it was great to hear their voices and their passion for their ministry. Thanks for providing this podcast.
Praising God for the delight of the Derricks in the whole of their journey of faith and life.
Celebrating how this expands the dreams of the Watkins’ (Morris and wife) who we were blessed to host for a meal while they attended 1965 Synodical Convention in Detroit.
