Family and friends gathered at Grace Church in Jackson on Saturday, May 19 to celebrate what our 51 graduates have accomplished over the past two years. About 400 attended the 73rd commencement service for New Tribes Bible Institute Jackson. It was quite the honor to be able to welcome the visitors and recognize the family members who have sacrificed so much so that our students have the opportunity to study the Word of God full time. After reviewing some NTM history, I introduced the class and faculty speakers. Later in the service, it was so exciting to be able to hand each graduate their folder, shake their hand and wish them well. Many are going to continue with the NTM training and Lord willing within a few years they will be on the mission field, studying a tribal language and preparing to teach an unreached people group through the Bible chronologically, trusting the Lord to establish a new church.
What a privilege to be involved in training and preparing hungry hearted believers to take the Gospel to those who have no hope unless someone gets trained and goes. We thank God for the team of prayer and financial partners who sacrifice time and invest with us in the lives of future missionaries. If you are one of them, you know how much we praise God for you. If you would like to join our team, we would rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory! There is room for you. “>)
Would you please pray for more students for our fall class? We have room for 25-30 more than the 60 or so that have applied. There is still a great need for more church planters. Over 2,000 people groups still waiting to hear of Jesus and what He has done for mankind. Thank you so much for your time and your prayers.
Blessings in Christ!
