Our Story
Lifesprings began in Grenoble, France in 2006 as an outreach to English-speaking women.
It started as a local Bible study and a monthly women’s breakfast, and from there it grew to include an annual weekend retreat for English-speaking women living throughout Europe.
Lifesprings International is a global network of women whose vision is to connect, encourage, and prepare women worldwide to keep bringing the love of Jesus Christ to our communities.
LSM prepares women to further God’s kingdom work in different parts of the world.
The program is based on 2 Timothy 2:2; “What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well”.
Our Mission
Jesus calls women to work in his harvest field. This was established at the very beginning when God gave both Adam and Eve the responsibility of ruling and subduing the earth. Eve was just as responsible as Adam was for carrying out God’s work.
Many women in the worldwide church today have a desire to serve Christ and his Kingdom, but they often face obstacles and stumbling blocks that keep them from listening to or following God’s call on their lives.
Two of the biggest obstacles are:
- Confidence issues:We hear women say: “I’m not smart enough”; “I’m not a leader”; “Who am I?”; “I am no one.”
- Lack of training & resources: We hear women say: “I don’t know where to begin”: I’m not qualified”; “I don’t have any skills or abilities.”
We combine three important components to help women overcome obstacles to ministry and become effective workers in God’s harvest field:
We Connect, Encourage, and Prepare.
Why Choose Us
We Connect
We CONNECT with each other and with God to nurture healthy togetherness and belonging.
“From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love.” Ephesians 4:16
We Encourage
We ENCOURAGE each other in believing that we are God’s beloved and that we each have beautiful gifts to use with joy for the Kingdom of God.
“Let us consider how to spur one another to love and good deeds…” Hebrews 10:24
We Prepare
We PREPARE women for Kingdom work through the Lifesprings School of Ministry – a personal ministry and leadership training program.
“What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.”
2 Timothy 2:2
A woman who is Connected + Encouraged + Prepared adds up to a woman who is ready to impact her community with the love of Jesus Christ!
