I haven’t ridden a motor coach in ages. Matter of fact the last time I can recall riding one was traveling a treacherous highway that led us into an area of jungle in Central Brazil.\u00a0 At one point we all disembarked from the bus even though the driver told us that the rickety bridge would support us in spite of the tires spilling over both sides of the bridge.\u00a0 Now who wouldda’ thought you could drive into such an area on a coach?!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I’m on a coach headed to Washington DC.  What stands out to me is the unique quietness of\nthe day.  It\u2019s early morning and as\npassengers awaken I can hear dimmed conversations amid the illumination of cell\nphones brought to life as a few around me check messages and social media.  Wait, I’m one of those people fooling around\non their cell phones as I peck out this newsletter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a bus load of church people –homeschoolers & parents,\nand a bunch of missionaries going to visit the Museum of the Bible.  Can you believe this is the first time in our\nlives to tour anything in the Nation\u2019s Capital? \nWe\u2019ve traipsed all over the world on several continents in remote places\nand yet there are many close-to-home areas we\u2019ve never seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I think about unexplored territories\nI am again reminded of the isolated and hard to reach areas of the world where\nthere is yet a Christian witness, let alone a church or a Bible in the\nlanguages of certain peoples. \nThankfully, by the time this letter reaches you, we will have graduated\na host of newly trained missionaries who will soon spill onto the harvest\nfields of the world to advance the gospel to the lost.  This is a thrilling time in the history of\nmissions for those of us with Ethnos360.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someday I\u2019d love to fill a motor coach\nwith young people and take them to visit our Missionary Training Center<\/strong> in Missouri, or even to our Mission Retreat Center<\/strong> in Jersey Shore\nPennsylvania.  There, we are gearing up\nfor our summer Wayumi\nExpedition<\/strong> program designed for families, youth group leaders and high\nschoolers.  Time still remains to get in\non the action; visit our website, wayumi.com<\/strong>\nand sign up today.  It\u2019s a wonderful\nopportunity to experience missions up close. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now about the trip to the Museum of the Bible\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an enthralling experience to walk thru the replicated city\nof Jerusalem and to encounter those who draw you into the culture and Biblical\nexperience of Jesus\u2019 day.  In another\narea you\u2019ll get to see fragments of scripture, documented in respect of the\nBible preserved for us today.  One of the\nmost exciting things was picking up and thumbing thru numerous Bible\ntranslations from among many of our Papua New Guinea outreaches.  \u2026But the most striking realization was seeing\na wall of more than 2,000 blank books representing the language groups of the\nworld who have not one verse of God\u2019s word in their own language.  Think of that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t yet\nvisited the Museum of the Bible I would encourage you to visit.  It\u2019ll not disappoint!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
