Preparing for Bolivia

September 10, 2010

Bolivia, one of the first countries that New Tribes Mission opened up in the 1940’s, is the location of our next trip!

Off to Canada I go…

God has given Joyce & me the privilege of giving support and help to the various ministries of New Tribes Mission throughout Latin America. One of these ministries is the training centers for national missionaries which are located in five […]
