…New Ministry Location

Serving the Lord has never been more exciting. Day by day we desire to serve Him where ever He would choose to use us. Guess what? This time He chose Florida, NTM HOMES, a retirement community for New Tribes’ Missionaries.

For two people who just love working in the jungle and working with kids it was in some ways an adjustment. We were surprised to find out that Florida’s not so different from the jungle with all its alligators and tropical storms. The folks we cook for may be retired but they sure know how to have lots of fun!
We are cooking for the retired missionaries that live in the part of our retirement center called the Latham Center. The Latham Center offers our NTM missionaries the additional help of assisted living. Les and I have found it to be exciting to serve those who have spent so many years in the jungle serving Him.
Adjusting to the job wasn’t too hard as we had the opportunity to serve the Lord in this same job for a year about 5 years ago. We are currently planning to serve here for a year and then re-evaluate where God is leading us at that time.
There are some other blessings in this job. Serving here in Florida allows us to be near Les’s parents. They are retired missionaries and live here at NTM HOMES. Les’s Dad has Alzheimer’s and is dependant on oxygen. God has allowed us to be a big help to his Mom and Dad during this time in their lives. We are thrilled to be able to do this.

Keep us in your prayers as we serve.
