2025 LST Site List
Last Updated: December 4, 2024

Priority #1LST attempts to match your team with one of our LST PARTNER SITES.  LST has special partnerships with each of these sites where LST is used year-round as a significant part of the church’s local outreach.

Priority # 2 – If your team does not fit with an LST Partner Site we will attempt to match you with LST’s MANAGED SITE in Hannover, Germany.  Our site in Hannover offers maximum flexibility for teams with very specific timing requirements, and LST manages all onsite logistics and communication with Readers.

Priority # 3 – If your team does not fit with an LST Partner/Managed Site, we have several special SEASONAL SITES that partner with LST on a smaller scale as part of the church’s local outreach.

 

Priority #1 – PARTNER SITES: LST’s top-priority sites utilizing teams through the year.

Priority #2 – MANAGED SITE: Hannover, Germany

  Description Invitation
Hannover, Germany At this site LST sends teams AND acts as the Host. LST connects with multiple Christian groups in Hannover, not relying on any one to carry the burden of hosting and receiving teams. Teams stay in a rented apartment and meet with Readers in a rented space nearby.

Our primary emphasis is to fill two seasons of work; a spring season and a fall season. Filling these seasons and having teams work back-to-back as much as possible is best for the work in Hannover.

SPRING – March-June
FALL – September-November
