Encouraged to Encourage Others<\/span><\/p>\n Hello Friends,<\/p>\n You Did It<\/strong><\/span> The Purpose<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The main reason for heading overseas is to be an encouragement to many of the new missionaries that have been there for a term or less. \u00a0When new missionaries get there, the newness of the situation can have different effects on folks. \u00a0Some are so thrilled by being there that everything looks wonderful and they are full of enthusiasm. \u00a0Some take more\u00a0time to get used to the people and\u00a0climate and generally just need a little longer to adjust and evaluate their surroundings\u00a0from a less western\u00a0viewpoint. \u00a0Still yet, some struggle as they are away from the\u00a0family, friends and surroundings that they are familiar with. \u00a0None of these responses are unusual but time is needed, and it varies with each person and family\u00a0to evaluate their situation from a more objective\u00a0perspective. \u00a0Consultants, field leadership and veteran missionaries can help them out with this and my part will be\u00a0to go over and be a\u00a0reference point for home and also to let them know that I know how they feel, having gone through what they are going through also. \u00a0I sometimes jokingly tell young folks that the reason the Lord sends young folks overseas is because they have no clue as to what they are getting into and the reason He brings us older folks back is so that we can tell them it was worth it. \u00a0Pray that I will be able to be a blessing to those whom\u00a0Cheryl and I have had a small part in encouraging\u00a0to reach the unreached.<\/span><\/p>\n More Yet To Do Before Heading To\u00a0PNG<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In a couple of weeks Cheryl and I will be heading to Hugoton, KS for a church missions emphasis. \u00a0It will be our first time there and the father of one of our NTM missionaries\u00a0is a member of that church.<\/p>\n During the month of June I will be teaching SS at First E Free\u00a0Church in Wichita, KS. \u00a0It will be good to get into 2 & 3 John and Jude. \u00a0These are often neglected books but have some interesting insights into the life of the church and believers. \u00a0I will also be heading to Dallas to do a Perspectives Intensive class on Lesson 14 at the end of June and then the next day have to return to Wichita to be involved in a mission emphasis Sunday at our church.<\/p>\n In July, I have two events. \u00a0I will be attending the Perspectives National Conference in Baltimore from July 13-15 where\u00a0I look forward to connecting with many local and regional coordinators. \u00a0I believe that this trip will\u00a0be very beneficial\u00a0in making connections. \u00a0Then a week later, I will be off to PNG. \u00a0I love this job.<\/p>\n Our Family<\/strong><\/span> Daniel and Jane are here in Wichit Joel and Katie are also continuing to work away here in town Investing In the Future<\/strong><\/span> Thank you all for your continued support and prayers. \u00a0Without you, there would be even more tribes who would not have heard the gospel of the grace of God. \u00a0As John said to Gaius, “I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” \u00a03 Jn. 2. May the Lord bless you as you labor for Him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your gifts have reached their objective!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":279,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4,3324,3325],"tags":[637,6862],"class_list":["post-980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-family","category-ministry","category-news-article","category-prayer-request","tag-new-tribes-mission","tag-ntm-videos","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/279"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/980\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/doug-schaible\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nCheryl and want to thank you all for\u00a0the\u00a0kindnesses you have shown toward us and we just wanted you to know that we have received all of the funding necessary\u00a0for me (Doug) to head to Papua New Guinea this summer. \u00a0We appreciate all your generous gifts and it was a real blessing to watch as the Lord used all of you to provide in this way.<\/p>\n
\nOur family is doing great. \u00a0Cheryl loves taking care of the grandkids during the week and what a blessing she has been to this family. \u00a0She takes very good care of all of us and never complains. \u00a0Thanks.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/e87f3bec68910b2b1983f82df\/images\/06a48c1f-491a-4fe8-a33c-06fc6dcbcd47.jpg\")
Leah is the General Manager of an On the Border Restaurant in Mesquite, TX. \u00a0In six months she has brought the store from the middle of the pack to being in the top 10%. \u00a0She is really good at it and really knows the restaurant business. \u00a0So glad we all keep in touch.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/e87f3bec68910b2b1983f82df\/images\/df16470a-cc2d-4ddb-90ae-4e23d5cd6365.jpg\")

\nAt this point, we know of at least 10 new people who are going to be starting their missionary career with NTM by heading to one of our Bible Institutes or Missionary Training Center. \u00a0The Lord has allowed us the privilege of being involved in their lives and we want to be there for them, not just to challenge them into NTM but to ![](\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/e87f3bec68910b2b1983f82df\/images\/d5e58adb-9451-4c3d-8571-f0c3f931b0e1.jpeg\")
help support them through the whole process. \u00a0Much of the traveling that we do is to encourage these young families and singles on the journey, answering questions and\u00a0visiting with parents and church leadership. \u00a0It is a team effort and we want to be there for them when questions arise, which they inevitably will. \u00a0We are so privileged to still have the heart and desire that we have always had to reach the unreached.<\/span><\/p>\n
