Albuquerque is a big place!

Albuquerque is a big place!

January 19, 2016

After 6 months in NM, we are finding out just how big a place ABQ is. It is located within Bernalillo county, which has a total area of 1,167 square miles, of which 1,161 square miles  is land and 6.4 square miles is water (this beach lover can’t seem to find the water). The map shows a […]

Hearts overflowing as we settle in ABQ NM

Hearts overflowing as we settle in ABQ NM

July 23, 2015

What an incredible send off Skiff Lake Bible Church gave us before we left for New Mexico. A mystery dinner, a wonderful crowd of saints, beautiful singing, many encouraging words and diligent prayer; our hearts were full of praise for days. Thank You LORD.   A few days later, many members of His Body gathered to […]

Talk about Missions! Talk about Possibilities!

Talk about Missions! Talk about Possibilities!

January 21, 2015

This is one of our favorite times at NTBI…hosting students in our home. What a great opportunity to hear from them, to get to know them and sometimes to watch some challenging mission videos together. This night we watched “Other Side of the Mountain.” As it ended I was struck with the possibilities in the […]

Zipline here we come! The last week of July found Shirley and me in the Dominican Republic for an incredible time of rest, relaxation and celebrating our 40th anniversary a bit early. We spent a week in and around the pool, the beach, the restaurants and even joined a jeep safari for a day of […]

More Graduates Arrive on the Field!

More Graduates Arrive on the Field!

January 21, 2014

It is always encouraging to hear of past students who graduate New Tribes Bible Institute and continue on in the training with New Tribes Mission. It is another thing all together when we hear that they actually leave the states and arrive on the field they have chosen. That excites our hearts to no end, […]

Fall Semester is History

December 15, 2013

Within the last week we have heard about more tribal people hearing the Gospel and believing! Another church has been born near the Madang region of Papua New Guinea. Our friends and alumni Jason and Nisae were the ones God used to bring these folks into the family. Praise the Lord. This is the kind of news […]

The problem is Worldview

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 […]

Graduation upon us

May 15, 2013

Our senior class of over 50 students will walk the stage this Saturday as we celebrate their amazing work these past two years. You could almost hear their sighs of relief today as they finished their classes. What a joy to have had this time with them, focused on the Word of God. It has […]

Leave FLorida? For Michigan?

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 […]
