…Our new ministry

As most of you know Jackie and I traveled to Missouri last month to the Missionary Training Center.  We sat down with several of the faculty from the training center and talked about where we could fit into the training of new missionaries with New Tribes Mission.  After talking with them they invited us to join the MTC (Missionary Training Center) to help with Personal development. This means we would be mentoring several students, and using our church planting experience to help train them as they prepare for overseas missions.  Jackie and I feel like this is a good fit for us as a couple, and believe we could be a real help in this area.  We have agreed to join the team in Camdenton, Missouri, this summer in order to start with the fall semester.  At this point we do not know how long God will have us serve in this capacity, but we are excited to be able to share some of the great things God did and continues to do in a little village in Venezuela.  Thank you for your continued prayer during our transition.  We look forward to seeing many of you this summer as we travel up to Michigan, and out west.

Love,

            Joe and Jackie
