Summary

I’m Lynn. As a shy Navajo‑reservation kid I only wanted life to be easyβ€”but God chose β€œextreme.” πŸššβ€―A midnight crash smashed my face and teeth; atβ€―28 a brain‑stem tumor threatened to kill me; atβ€―51 an unknown disease ate a silver‑dollar hole clear through my cheek. Every mirror showed new scars, yet every dawn I whispered, β€œThisβ€―is the day theβ€―Lord has made…” πŸ“– When doctors finally halted the destruction, Jimβ€―andβ€―Iβ€”now 64β€―&β€―58!β€”heard God invite us to film missionary stories worldwide. πŸŽ₯ Terrified but trusting, we launched Creativeβ€―Impactβ€―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. πŸ™Œ

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.
