Alabama CBF celebrates the incredible ministry of Lynn Hutchinson, CBF Field Personnel in Portugal, as she transitions into retirement at the end of this month. Lynn’s nearly 40 years of service, including 25 years with CBF Global Missions, has impacted countless lives in Africa and Europe through holistic and creative ministry to refugees and immigrants.

Reflecting on her journey, Lynn shared:
"As I retire, I will celebrate 25 years of service in Africa and Europe through CBF Global Missions,” Hutchinson said. “I am filled with gratitude as I reflect on these 25 years—for the freedom to live out the ‘cooperative’ in our name by working with others, for the opportunity to do holistic and creative ministry to share God’s love and hope with some of the most vulnerable individuals and families, and for the joy of faithful supporters who have accompanied me and made all of this possible through their prayers and financial support."

Join us in celebrating Lynn’s remarkable legacy and praying for her as she embarks on this new chapter. Lynn, thank you for your faithful witness and unwavering service!
