Hello everyone! As you know Sandra took care of LSF when she was alive. I have tried to keep it up and the last official project of LSF was the Sandra Falagan Youth Center in Mongolia.
The transition over the last year and a half has been very taxing on me and while I tried to keep LSF going I fear that it was too much with my other responsibilities. It may be best to let LSF go with Sandra and this saddens me very much.

The Sandra Falagan Community Youth Center is officially Open and active. Here are some pictures they shared of the Journey they went through to build this center. This was built by the church with volunteers.

I am very pleased to report the Sandra Falagan Community Youth Center will be dedicated May 15, 2017 in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia, Amen! This is just a few days before the first anniversary of her home going. I miss her every day but God can take better care of her than I can. This I know and believe with all my heart.

Hello, I am so sorry I have not been as consistent with writing on the LSF page. We have had a good time of ministry with the Okinawa Church of God and Servicemen Center. I had the great privilege of sharing the word while our pastor was ministering in the Philipines. The week before my step-daughter Hannah was with us from Korea. The church was a little short handed Sunday so the whole Falagan family jumped into action to teach Sunday school.
My work with the military continues to be a great blessing and a challenge at times but God with give us what we need as we make ourselves available and do His will. Amen.

We are getting settled into our normal routine on Okinawa. We are a little over half way to our goal of $10,000. For the Sandra Falagan Community Youth Center in Mongolia. Sandra's mother just gave $500. So we are at $5500. All we need is $4500 more to reach our goal!

Hello, we've been working very hard to get settled in on Okinawa for the next year. God is so very good! We are settled in with the Church of God serviceman center. We were able to transition from living at the church in the month of November and December to our permanent residence where will be for the next year.
We are still excepting donations on "go fund me" for the Sandra Falagan Community center in Mongolia. But be advise "go fund me" takes almost 10% of the donations as a fee.
Our plan is to fulfill our one year obligation on Okinawa and then travel to Mongolia for the dedication of the Community Center in Sanders honor in 2018.

Sandra had a great time with her family in Florida from January 9 to February 9. In January, Lance facilitated a bible study for Chaplain Singer at Camp Schwab. He also had a Marriage Seminar on Conflict Resolution at the Okinawa Church of God. Sandra was able to Skype in from Florida to see and say hello to everyone.

During the month of February, Lance preached a Valentine's message of love at the Okinawa Church of God. On the 19th, they facilitated a Valentine's Couples Night out for Okinawa Church of God. Twenty-five people attended and enjoyed a wonderful restaurant, fellowship and light show.

On March 1, Sandra facilitated the Women's Ministry bible study. Even though there was low attendance on Skype, there was a powerful move of the Spirit!

On March 6th and 7th, Chaplain Baize asked Lance to preach at Kadena Chapel 1 on the Season of Love- as a beginning to the Easter season. There was a combined total of 263 people during the two services and it was his honor to help Chaplain Baize.

It is now January 2, 2016. Lance filled in for Pastor Reyno last week and will fill in again tomorrow. Sandra is continuing to be involved in the Women's Ministry and the Women's Tuesday Night Bible Study on Skype (Tuesday 6:00 AM EST). The bible study alternates between Spanish and English. Please contact me if you would like to attend.

Christmas activities included giving out purses with supplies and snacks to the homeless during the concert and outreach at Koza Music Town. Although we were not able to attend, the church distributed candy canes with the story of Jesus.

On December the 18th, we held the Holiday Family Traditions Marriage Seminar at our home. We had an amazing potluck dinner, with door prizes and a White Elephant Gift Exchange. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and fun with the beautiful couples in our Church!! We will continue to do monthly Marriage Seminars for the time that we are here.

On the work front, Lance is doing well. He was the Santa Claus for the Christmas party and we delivered gift bags to the Marines who were on duty for Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Finally, please keep Sandra in prayer. She is having back problems and will also be traveling to the US on the 9th of January. She will be staying for a month to visit with her family. As always, please pray for the people of Okinawa and the Okinawa Church of God!!

We would also like to give a shout out to Stephanie Morris for the care package and reading materials and to Julie Wheeler for the materials for salvation bracelets and Teddy Bears. Your gifts were very much appreciated and we pray that God blesses you both for your amazing generosity!!
