About Let's Start Talking

    Let's Start Talking (LST) is a ministry of the Richland Hills Church of Christ in Fort Worth, Texas. LST was started in 1981 by Mark and Sherrylee Woodward, former missionaries to Germany, for the purpose of organizing and training short-term missionary teams. Teams of Church of Christ members are organized across the U.S. and Canada. These teams are then trained to share their faith through English conversation classes using Bible texts. Teams have been sent to Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Each team typically remains at its site for six weeks.

    The association with Let's Start Talking has allowed members of the Manhattan Church of Christ to participate in a variety of ways in the spreading of the gospel overseas. Besides those who have had the opportunity to travel to foreign lands, others have participated by contributing money, writing to overseas team members, and praying for the success of the teams. All who have participated in any way can take satisfaction in knowing that they have helped people to come closer to God.
