The problem is Worldview

June 10, 2013

This is a sad story, but one that our missionaries run into constantly. The people believe if they do nothing, they will die. Their worldview says they must kill or be killed. Fortunately, the Word of God can change their worldview and cure them of this thinking, which originates from satan. We have seen it happen […]

Leave FLorida? For Michigan?

May 15, 2013

That was the big question 20 years ago in January 1993. It is so hard to imagine we have now completed our 17th year serving at New Tribes Bible Institute after 3 years of training with NTM from ’93-’96. Little could we imagine back then the blessings in store as Shirley and I served in […]
