May 14, 2020

What does ministry this spring look like? Well, like for so many of you, we have had to change things up here at the MTC. Our classes have gone completely online for the rest of the semester. Our academic management team did an awesome job of rearranging some of this semester’s classes with next semester’s […]

On Their Way!

January 14, 2020

On January 15th, four families that we helped train and equip here at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) will be heading to Papua New Guinea.

Helping at home

June 11, 2019

Some times ministry takes us back home. These last couple of weeks has had Cheryl and I back in New Hampshire visiting two supporting churches and a few people as well. It also has given us some time with my (Craig’s) parents. Being 90 and 87 brings it’s own challenges. We are glad to be […]

Excited and Proud

August 8, 2018

I don’t know better words to use right now. Today, August 8th Jason & Tami Hughes, Drew & Leasa Decuir and Nicole Cogan are on a separate planes, all heading to the country of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Why are we excited? Why are we proud? These guys are all from the missionary training class […]

Why do you do what you do?

September 27, 2017

Have you ever wondered why some people do what they do? Why did they pick that career? What’s behind their thinking in making that move?

It’s been a great two years of training here at the Missionary Training Center. It has come to a close for 28 MTC students. Cheryl and I have had the privilege of being involved in the equipping and mentoring of these dear folks. Specifically, 11 out of the 28 have either been in our E-LINC […]

God equipping through transformation

February 28, 2017

From time to time we wonder how the training is affecting the students, our future co-laborers in reaching the least and un-reached people groups of the world. Recently one of our students shared this with her ministry partners (shared with permission). “So what is one of the biggest lessons my Father has been teaching me […]

January 1, 2016

Merry Christmas from Roach, MO! We spent our first Christmas here at the MTC … just the 4 of us enjoying being together and enjoying the day. It was lazy. It was full of laughter and good food. It was memory filled. We even took some time outside to take a few pictures. It was that […]

AND IT BEGINS: Our new ministry at NTM MTC

August 28, 2015

Wow! That is the only word that comes to mind as I reflect on our first week of orientation here at the Missionary Training Center. Because Craig and I are beginning a brand new ministry here, the staff felt it helpful for us to sit it on all the classes of this first semester. We […]
