June 2026 Ministry Update
“My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.” Psalms 45:1 NIV
Dear Friend and Partner,
How I wish my tongue could be the pen of a fluent writer to express all the wonderful things the Lord is doing – even since my letter in March!
As our butterflies fly to other countries and cities this summer spreading the fragrance of Jesus, I am sitting at Vienna airport overwhelmed by the divine encounters I have just experienced during a week here in Vienna to set up a new 3.5-year LUV Discipleship journey for women in Europe. As I see how the Lord is opening doors and hearts both here in Vienna and around the world, I am rejoicing at the wonder and leading of the Holy Spirit.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
Praise God, we see Him spreading His glory in ordinary and some extra ordinary places; in 1:1 conversations and in small groups across the world as butterflies unveil His love and help other women to “know” the Lord and His word in transforming and intimate ways.
Orlando – In April, I was invited to speak, sharing the Butterfly Story, at Awakening, an event for women, at Renewal Church in Apopka. That evening one woman shared that her daughter had called her that same night in desperation and depression. The lady was able to tell her daughter the message of transformation Jesus brings; it changed the entire situation. She said, “I didn’t even know I had those words, but the Holy Spirit allowed me to use Liz’s message to help my daughter in a miraculous way!” All glory to God for the message He has given us to bring women hope and new life in Jesus through the miraculous metamorphosis of the butterfly.
Last month Butterfly Leader, Nancy proudly commissioned her butterflies who have faithfully met with her weekly on their 3.5-year discipleship journey. The Lord has done a deep work of transformation and they were thrilled to finish in the intimacy of Workbook 6, Preparing the Heart of the Bride. They are ready to fly and disciple other women.
North Carolina – The Lord continues to transform and raise up women to lead others to freedom in NC. This group finished Workbook 5 with Butterfly Leader Ricky Lynn and were commissioned last month to multiply disciples.
Albania – Butterfly Leaders Aliona and Angie from Moldova, met with butterflies in Albania for Workshop 5. Several women have already started multiplying groups!
This month, group leader, Adelina finished translation and printing of Albanian LUV Workbook One and the Butterfly Story Flip Chart. Pray the Lord will anoint these books to be a blessing and bring freedom to other Albanian women!
Cyprus – Butterfly Leader Olga started a second group, supported by Greek Butterfly Leader, Nektaria, this time with international women living in Cyprus. “We experienced the Lord in a very beautiful way. From Friday the women started to be open, cry and give room to the Holy Spirit. God worked deeply throughout the weekend!”
Lithuania – Diana and her leaders gathered 40 other butterfly leaders and their disciples, for an intimate weekend in Workbook 6, Preparing the Heart of the Bride. “It was a profound and sacred time.”
Africa – Cheryl, Butterfly Leader to Liberia, started a second group in Liberia this month, a week after leading her first group through their third LUV Workshop. “The Holy Spirit ministered to hearts, and women were set free. Our sessions were raw and filled with praise and lots of tears. We ran out of tissues! And still it poured. I prayed over women, over and over. Not one woman left the same!”
Butterfly Valery from Florida, visited Cheryl’s new group in Liberia to share her own discipleship journey with LUV. Women from the first Liberia group helped with meals and prayed for the second group – this is what we call wings touching wings as women support each other in practical ways and with prayer, love and encouragement.
In 2023, six women in Ethiopia were refused visas to attend a LUV Workshop in Orlando. But the Lord brought Cheryl to that Workshop to start the 3.5-year training with me. This month, one of those Ethiopian women, Abenet, received a miracle visa to join Cheryl’s Workshop One in Liberia! (The 7-hour flight from Ethiopia to Liberia is better than the long flight to USA!) God’s ways are better than our ways!
Also in Africa, Butterfly Danielle from New York will fly to Rwanda, Africa this summer on mission, where she will share the butterfly story with women.
Pray Holy Spirit continues to open doors to heal and transform women’s hearts in Africa as He spreads His glory through butterflies in Liberia, Ethiopia and Rwanda.
Japan – Butterfly leader, Rochelle flies to Japan this month carrying our newly produced and printed Japanese LUV Workbook One Manuals! This is the result of years of prayer and diligent translation, editing and formatting by our Japanese butterflies! Rochelle will meet with butterfly leaders Sachiko and Tani in Japan!
Last month Tani, her husband and butterflies held an outreach for over 50 non-believers, over 25 were Japanese. This was my group – all Japanese non-believers. We each read a verse from Psalm 139, and shared the gospel. I was grateful they got to read the Word for themselves! Pray the seed will bear fruit.
Butterfly Regina has been praying for her children for years. Her daughter came to the outreach! “My daughter’s presence was the best Mother’s Day present I could receive!”
Japan is hard ground but pray the Lord will open hearts of Japanese women hungry for hope, healing and new life.
SE Asia – Butterfly Leader T. started LUV Discipleship Workshop One with a new group of tribal women last month where 67 mountain tribal people received Jesus after an estranged couple reconciled their marriage attending LUV training with T. Together they went to the mountains to bring the gospel to the broken and the lost, and the Lord brought in a great harvest!
Thank you for your prayers and general giving to help us continue to transform, equip and empower women to share God’s love, teach His word and make disciples who multiply around the world.
As the ministry grows, we have increasing needs. Please pray the Lord will meet all those needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus, and through the generous giving of His people and our partners.

One of our partners suggested I share this information with you about Charitable Giving in the USA, in 2026…Did you know? A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) lets IRA owners 70½+ transfer up to $111,000 (for 2026) from their IRA directly to charity, tax-free, satisfying all or part of their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing taxable income, which can help avoid higher tax brackets or Medicare premium surcharges.
As I take some respite with family in the UK this month, please pray the Lord will restore and renew spirit, soul and body for me, our team, and for all our butterfly leaders as we seek His strength and follow His Holy Spirit into the second half of 2026.
May the Lord bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine on you and your family this summer.
With my love and gratitude,
Liz
