Biography

Lisa Lehman is a global missionary for the Church of the Nazarene in Thailand since 2001. She serves as Southeast Asia Field communications coordinator.  This currently involves overseeing two World Mission Broadcast programs in Thai and World Mission Literature translation projects in 8 languages across Southeast Asia.  In addition to teaching Spiritual Formation for the extension campuses of Southeast Asia Nazarene Bible College since 2003, she regularly teaches small groups of women Bible studies as she mentors and disciples others in and outside of the Thai local churches.  

Lisa graduated from Olivet Nazarene University in 1993 with a B.A. in elementary education. She received her M.A. in special education from Governors State University in 2000, followed by a certificate of cross-cultural ministry from NTS in the same year.  She was ordained an elder on the Chicago Central District of the Church of the Nazarene in 2007.

Lisa initially felt called to missions as a seven year-old, and her call was confirmed several times throughout her teen years before God called her to preach cross-culturally. Her passion for prayer and sharing the Gospel with unreached people propels her to fulfill God’s call to “be a light to the Gentiles” and to proclaim the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.” (Is. 49:6, Romans 15:16, NIV).
