They both knew that God had missions in their future and more specifically, tribal evangelism. Their desire to train for this work led them to attend New Tribes Bible Inst., in Waukesha, WI. There they have been studying God&#8217;s Word and missions for nearly 2 years.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Their friendship at Bible School developed as they worked together at Milwaukee Rescue Mission. Because Kandi and Joe&nbsp;were both raised on the mission field, Kandi, in Brazil and Joe, in Bolivia, they had very similar experiences growing up. Their childhood gave them a passion for soccer and the out doors, but above all it opened their eyes to the need for the people in tribes to hear the good news of salvation through Christ.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Just recently, Joe and Kandi were out in a park , despite the snow and wind. Joe made a shelter with a tarp so they could enjoy their devotions in the beautiful outdoor setting.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">After some time in the Word Joe pulled a thermos of coffee and some candy out of his back pack. They had some coffee together and Joe offered Kandi some candy hearts with words on them that were arranged to say &quot;Will You Marry Me ?&quot;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Getting a positive response he opened a little box with a ring that had a beautiful Bolivianita (not sure on that spelling!). That stone is only found in Bolivia, which made it very precious to Kandi. Each side of the beautiful purple and yellow stone had a little diamond.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Kandi and Joe graduate from NTBI in May and are looking to a possible late September wedding date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for someone to share your hopes and dreams is never easy.
