We would be traveling by plane, auto and probably boat, to a school staffed by a mixed team of NTM personnel and other international and Brazilian missionaries serving at an international school in western Brazil.
In the end, we didn’t see any new monthly or recurring support raised, but just as important as that, we saw relationships renewed and re-invigorated as well as the potential for brand new relationships.
We decided to get an early start on packing the van 🙂 Just one more week till we start a 3,500 mile road trip spanning 6 states. So far, we will be updating and connecting with 5 different churches, 3 Sunday School classes, a small group and many other dear friends, family and supporters. We’re excited […]
Simply and honestly put, this summer trip to connect with our support team, will cost us about $1500 which is about half of what we receive in monthly support. I created a little breakdown below of the some of the details of this trip. Our “Sending Church”, High Street Baptist in Springfield MO, has jump-started […]
Imagine that your family lives in one of the world’s toughest environments and has lived and died for centuries, worshipping and yet fearing the physical objects around you, eking out a barely livable existence with little hope to ever experience anything else. Imagine you’re given the chance to hear the absolute TRUTH of God’s word […]
One of the privileges we have as support missionaries is of being advocates for unreached people groups. This is the very reason we serve with NTM. In four weeks we’ll be traveling to to Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Georgia as we keep the needs if these people groups in front of you. They need ALL […]
Believe it or not, it’s been three years since Bethany and our three kids along with Lynn, Bethany’s mother and I moved from Jackson Michigan to Sanford Florida. In those three years, kids have started new school(s), had a host of medical procedures and in general, have grown like weeds in the steamy Florida sun. […]
Post brought to you by NTM Aviation One year and four days ago, Kodiak 110KQ first landed at the NTM Aviation hangar in Arizona. This morning at 7:00, this very same aircraft started its long anticipated journey to Papua New Guinea. An enthusiastic group of NTM Aviation staff surrounded the Kodiak to pray for its flight […]
Church planting missionaries with NTM primarily work in the middle of people groups...who have a language that VERY FEW outsiders know any of...let alone have any fluency in.
Fortunately, our God gives us good gifts and he gave Bethany and I the chance to very affordably get away to celebrate our 12th anniversary close to a place that’s dear to us, the shore. Thanks for supporting us financially, for holding vital ropes of prayer and for caring about us as we serve! We love […]
