Who are LifeBridgers?

Meet Sean and Shelley Blacksten.  The knowledge and experience that the Blackstens bring to LifeBridge has been incredible.  Sean and Shelley are missionaries with International Mission Board (IMB) and have served in Spain and Germany and now serve all of Latin America in Care Ministry. We are so grateful they call Panama City and LifeBridge home. 
 

Sean and Shelley had previously been a part of an IBC church in Germany, so when they landed in Panama, they knew they wanted to be involved with another IBC church.  They serve on our worship team as well as aiding in the Leadership of LifeBridge. 

The Blacksten's are loved by the LifeBridge community and Nate and I are incredibly grateful for what they bring to the church community and to us personally. 

Sean and Shelley are from Amarillo, Texas, but have lived outside the US for 20 years. 

On Sunday, February 3 we had Vision Sunday, a morning all about where LifeBridge is headed in 2019. We know God has exciting things in store and we are so excited to be a part of his work here in Panama City.

Our focus areas this year are Genersity, Outreach and Discipleship.  More specifically, generously giving of our time so people know they are loved and cared for by LifeBridge people; reaching out to our community with events in which people have such a good time that they return to attend a Sunday service; and investing in discipleship so that it becomes contagious. 

As we shared the vision, everyone was encouraged to consider how God might be using them at LifeBridge and how they too can be a part of what is happening.
