\"AlexOn May 30th, Alex\u2019s widow and children will begin hearing the Bible\u2019s message clearly presented in their own language for the first time.\u00a0 Many of you will remember hearing Ken speak of the trips he took helping missionaries move in to a village in the Uriay language group.\u00a0 His first tribal friend, Alex, was eager to hear the missionaries\u2019 message; but shortly after they moved in he suffered a bad fall and died of the complications. This team of two families and two single women has diligently studied these people\u2019s language and culture, developed an indigenous literacy program, and translated Scripture portions.\u00a0 Please pray that Satan would not succeed at keeping more of these tribal people from hearing the Gospel.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0You can read the missionaries\u2019 most recent update at www.ntm.org\/news\/10922.<\/p>\n

Stories like these keep reminding us of why we are here; the above missionaries are all graduates of New Tribes Bible Institutes in the US and England.\u00a0 Here at our center in Jackson, Michigan, graduation for forty-six seniors was held two weeks ago.\u00a0 One of the valedictorians, Cassie Bouska, shared that she came here to train for a new career as a missionary; she realized instead that through her two years studying the Bible, God was training her to live life.\u00a0 A high percentage of our graduates do go on to the Missionary Training Center in Missouri; all of them leave with the challenge to live out the Word of God, enabled by the Spirit of God.<\/p>\n

On a more personal note,\u00a0we have been challenged recently to see our ministry as more than just the work we do here. \u00a0Those who pray and support us are part of the big picture of what God is doing to send out His people to the \u201cuttermost parts of the earth;\u201d and the churches who send their young adults to the Bible Institutes and then on to foreign fields are part of the big picture as well.\u00a0 We are thankful for a recent workshop where we were given tools to keep our supporters informed in a more organized fashion; please pray that we would use them effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
