DEAN
Church: I joined the church’s financial stewardship team, which oversees the church’s budget and finances. On Wednesday nights I’m helping out with the youth ministry as a small group leader. God is doing some exciting things in the church. This past Sunday, March 4 the church held a community outreach event called “Family Fun Day”. We appreciate the way the church reaches out and helps the local community.
School: I started attending Seminole State College at the beginning of the year. My English composition class is the first class I am taking with the goal of achieving my Associate of Arts in Accounting degree. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a 10 out of 10 for my first essay.
NTM: Work in the accounting department at New Tribes Mission’s home office has not slowed down at all. I have been busy doing the following (plus many other tasks):
* Preparing for the annual audit
* Assisting the tax department
* Doing 2011 year-end reconciliation and adjustments
* Making 2012 year opening adjustments
* Updating Missionary support Levels
TUTI
Church: Dean and I enjoyed some time alone together for Valentine’s Day. Our church hosted a “Valentine’s Day dinner & movie night” with free babysitting. Last month for our monthly meeting the international fellowship group that I’m involved with highlighted the theme of love and 1 Corinthians 13: 4-6 . This month I hosted the meeting and focused on the Persecuted Church. The missions committee at church that I’m a part of is gearing up for some fundraisers to help two teams going out this summer on mission’s trips. One team is going to Mexico; the other team is going to a Navaho community in Arizona.
CARISSA, VERONICA, LEVI & MARIAH
Church: Carissa, Veronica and Levi are excited about the Easter program coming up. They are busy practicing for that every Wednesday and
Sunday. There will be a new stick dance, a puppet play and a regular play.
