==Life==
Lynette Holmes was born on [[May 8]], 1960 in Hammond, Indiana, in the United States of America into a family of missionaries. The family moved to [[Uganda ]] in East Africa when she was three years old. Lynette returned to the United States in 1973 to attend the Moody Bible Institute. After three years she continued her education at Northwestern College in Minneapolis, Minnesota, graduating with a degree in Fine Arts. She continued graduate studies at Weaton College where she met Nathan Hoppe, whom she married and by whom she had two children; Tristan born in 1997 and Katherine born in 2000 in Albania.
After completing her formal education, she, with her husband Nathan and child Tristan, were placed in Kenya. Then in March 1998, Lynette and her family moved to Albania as part of an Orthodox missionary group to help the Albanian Orthodox in their recovery from decades of communist rule and persecution. She became active as a coordinator of many projects. These included helping orphans, disabled, and other poor children. She directed camps for children and charitable missions for the poor, and conducted classes of instruction including introducing her students to the fine arts.
