We\u2019ll discuss the partnerships that will help New Tribes Mission carry out its role in completing the Great Commission.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re back Feb. 1, and then Feb. 8-10 we go to South Florida for a couple of days. And Feb. 11-14 we\u2019re bringing folks who work with our Communications team from all over the USA and Canada to Sanford for a seminar on persuasive communication.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend of the Feb. 23 and 24, Julie and I have plans to see some people in Tampa. And Feb. 25-27 I\u2019ll make a trip to Pennsylvania, to talk with the people who run Wayumi about how we can help them communicate better. Wayumi is becoming a key part of our program to bring more people into NTM, which is a key to completing the Great Commission, so helping them is strategic.<\/p>\n<p>March 8-12 I\u2019ll join our Communications leadership team in Austin, Texas, for SXSW Interactive, the premier conference for interactive media. By knowing what\u2019s going on with interactive media, we can see what we can use to help NTM in carrying out the Great Commission.<\/p>\n<p>The following weekend Julie and I are supposed to head back to Tampa.<\/p>\n<p>So far, things slow down a bit after that, but we already have three out-of-state overnight trips planned in each of the following three months: Georgia in April, Tennessee in May and Missouri in June.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can pray for us:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pray for good health. And pray that we\u2019ll make time to get the rest we need between traveling and meeting, so we can get the most out of, and put the most into, those meetings.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for smooth travels, which we\u2019d like, but more importantly, pray that we\u2019ll be able to see and carry out God\u2019s purposes if our plans are interrupted.<\/li>\n<li>Pray that our car will hold up to the travel required, or that we\u2019ll be able to replace it.<\/li>\n<li>Pray that I\u2019ll be able to do all the other work I need to do between meetings \u2013 writing, editing, planning, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you please pray for Julie and me as we start 2013 at a dead run?
