The NTM Computer Network and Systems Administrator at our Manila office will soon be going on home assignment so there is urgent need for someone to replace him before he leaves. Anyone interested in filling that position either as volunteer or associate member of NTM or career member should contact joe_morris@ntm.org and also CC people-services_ph@ntm.org . The NTM administration at Manila needs to know of someone by April 1 with the person planning to arrive by mid-May.
The following are the details of the position:
IT Department Manila – Computer Network and Systems Administrator

As for ourselves, we are still managing the NTM guest house here on our island. At the same time Gene is making pretty good progress on translating Nehemiah and Carol has been editing the recording of the lowland dialect of our New Testament which is being recorded by a Manubu’ Bible teacher in that dialect.
Weather permitting, three of out Manubu’ translation helpers will be flying out from our village next week (in the helicopter, none have wings) so Gene can do a comprehension check with them of some chapters of Nehemiah.
It is uncertain at this point how much longer we will be managing the guest house. It could be just through April or it could be longer.
We recently went out to lunch at a local restaurant with another New Tribes couple. Gene took the this picture of another diner. Still don’t understand how he ate with his obvious disability.
