SENDING OUT THE 70

Graduating class<br /> May, 2007″ width=”300″ /></a><!--EndImportPhoto--></p> <p><strong>With graduation only 4 weeks away, my thoughts turn to Jesus sending the 72 disciples ahead of Him to prepare the people for His coming. (Interestingly, our graduating class numbers 70!)</strong></p> <p>As he prepared them for their “mission”, he admonished them, <em>“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”</em></p> <p>For the past 2 years, our NTBI staff have been pouring themselves into these students. One of our goals has been to instill in them what our school’s motto states, that, “… <strong><span class=Bible and Missions Are One”.

On March 30th we held our annual Senior Banquet. One of our traditions is to hear from all of our graduates as to their future plans. You can imagine how encouraged we were as staff to hear that about  70% of them have intentions of serving in missions—most with NTM.

Many are in the process of applying to NTM’s Missionary Training Center in Camdenton, MO, for the coming fall semester. There are others who, for various reasons, must postpone the continuation of their training for tribal missions, some for a year, and some for several years.

It is for this second group that I ask you to pray. Please pray that they would keep their eyes on Jesus and remain steadfast in their plans to continue training for tribal missions.

As always, we are grateful for your involvement in our ministry. Through your financial assistance and through your prayers, you are helping to prepare young people to change the world for Jesus Christ. We count it a privilege to work with you to that end.

Yours for the Harvest!
