Shifting Into High Gear!

April 23, 2016

Encouraged To Encourage Others Hello Friends, Shifting Into High Gear It has been a busy semester to say the least and it will end the same way.

Ready to Fly…Almost

April 22, 2016

We had a great week assembling the helicopter and it is now completely ready for it’s test flights. We assembled it and then performed an annual inspection which included running it on the ground and balancing the rotors. It’s running beautifully and is all ready to fly for the final balancing and testing. Our USA […]

A Time to Reflect

April 22, 2016

Trying to recover from typhoid has given me more free time than I know what to do with. Doctors suggest that rest and “stress free” living are keys to recovery, so I’m in the city doing, well, nothing much. And doing nothing has given me plenty of time to think. Mostly, my thoughts have focused […]

access to God’s Written Word

April 15, 2016

Putting on the miles… Since our last letter we’ve put on a few more miles to Colombia and England, worked with a team from Papua New Guinea on a revision of their literacy program, and lead some annual meetings with the team that translates church planting resources into Spanish. Life is full and we thank […]

250? How can it be?

April 12, 2016

Can it possibly be? I was thinking about what to write this month and it occurred to me that this could be close to the 250th report we’ve sent out since beginning our ministry with NTM. Some of you…folks we have met along the way in places like FL, MI, PA, MO, ID, CA, IN, OH, SC, […]

Keeping the Main thing the Main Thing

Come and See!

April 1, 2016

Thanks so much for taking the time to pray for our lives and ministries. As always, our most important request is that we each stay close to the Lord, letting the Holy Spirit guide our priorities and words. It is easy to get busy doing good things in our own strength instead. New Tribes Bible […]

Pray for Uno

April 1, 2016

This coming Sunday a Manubu’ Bible teacher will begin to teach the 40 lesson evangelistic phase of the chronological teaching program at a large village we’ll call Uno. There are a number of good-works-for-eternal-salvation churches there including ones that emphasis experience over biblical truth. Mahan tried to start teaching the evangelistic phase there a few […]

24 hours later

March 23, 2016

We’re scheduled to arrive in the capital of a West African nation on Wednesday evening, local time. Since the city’s been called the Paris of Africa, I imagine the city will be vibrant. Since I will have spent the last 24 hours in airplanes and airports, I imagine I will not be. Pray that we […]
