Summary

I’m Lynn. As a shy Navajo‑reservation kid I only wanted life to be easy—but God chose “extreme.” 🚚 A midnight crash smashed my face and teeth; at 28 a brain‑stem tumor threatened to kill me; at 51 an unknown disease ate a silver‑dollar hole clear through my cheek. Every mirror showed new scars, yet every dawn I whispered, “This is the day the Lord has made…” 📖 When doctors finally halted the destruction, Jim and I—now 64 & 58!—heard God invite us to film missionary stories worldwide. 🎥 Terrified but trusting, we launched Creative Impact Ministries, proving that age and brokenness are playgrounds for His creativity. Today I rejoice in the face that tells His rescue, the camera that tells His miracles, and a future that stays exciting until Heaven. 🙌

As a child, all Lynn wanted was for things to be easy. Her reality has been the exact opposite, as she’s faced a series of extraordinary challenges that have tested her body, her faith, and even her life. All the adversity has led her to a life today that she never could have imagined.
