Does your work ever seem routine – perhaps even boring?
I know I feel that way sometimes. It sometimes seems like I’m editing and writing the same stories over and over again: tribal people responding enthusiastically to God’s Word, growing in faith, and bringing others to faith by teaching, sharing, or simply living their lives for Him.
I mean, look at these recent news stories from the NTM website:
