Yembiyembi Bible Dedication

November 15, 2013

As we unloaded the plane, villagers watched with a curiosity that implied this was the first time they had seen a plane or a white man, though it was not. “This is a Yembi Chief” Brooks said, introducing us. Believers from other tribes were visiting as well, so several languages were flying around like it was […]

Our Vision For Ministry With New Tribes Mission

September 19, 2013

Why? Because Jesus said to make disciples of all nations! The Great Commission given in Matthew 28:19-20 says to “make disciples of all nations.” The word “nations” (ethnē in the Greek) refers not only to geographical borders, but to people groups. A people group is a collection of individuals sharing a variety of defining factors including culture, […]

Our First Semester at the MTC

January 20, 2012

How many people move to a new state during Christmas break? Not many, that’s why we decided to try it twice in 2 years! We moved from California to Wisconsin in December 2009, and from Wisconsin to Missouri in December 2011. While studying at NTBI the 4 of us lived in a 500sqft one-bedroom apartment. We really […]

>Visiting The Missionary Training Center (MTC)

April 9, 2011

> We pulled into the Missionary Training Center just after midnight. As we rubbed our eyes, the dim light revealed dirt roads, apartment buildings, playgrounds, a lake, and various other facilities. The grounds reminded us of a Christian camp. We found our apartment and got ready for bed right away. The next morning we gathered […]

December 9, 2010
