Letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
It is with a heavy heart that we report to you that on Friday, January 31st, 2025, our dear and beloved Founder and Publisher of The Lamp Newsletter International, Evangelist Wanda J. Burnside, went home to be with our Lord Jesus Christ, after a long battle with a debilitating illness.
Wanda was an amazing and precious woman of God who accomplished great things throughout her life, and touched lives around the world with her ministries. A beautiful Homegoing Celebration for Wanda was held on February 12th, 2025, at The Greater Emanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ Detroit, Michigan. Though we mourn the loss of our dear sister in Christ, we take comfort in the precious promises of God and look forward to that day when we will meet again, in glory. (See 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18). We pray the Lord will comfort and uphold the bereaved loved ones and friends.

Letter from the Founder


Welcome!

Dear Friends,
We warmly welcome you to our website! We are blessed to have you join us today. We truly praise the Lord for this wonderful opportunity and count it a privilege to share the blessings of the Lord with you. The Lamp Newsletter International is a bi-monthly Christian publication, filled with inspirational writing and devotional messages. Our Newsletter was first established in 2008.
We have posted our vast collection of newsletters (past and present) here online for you to freely view or download in PDF format. So, if you did not read an issue from years ago, you can do it now! If you missed an issue because you were too busy to read it, now you can!
In this time of great need, when the world is looking for hope in the midst of despair, and for light to shine in the darkness of all that is happening around us, it is our desire to continually shine God's light through our Newsletter, to help make a difference. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our Newsletter. We also share information about our other ministry resources, here online. We hope you enjoy your visit with us and pray that blessings from the Lord will flow abundantly into your life, through the riches of His love and grace.
Yours in Christ,
Wanda J. Burnside
Founder & President
