It is my privilege to accompany the\u00a0NTBI senior class of Spring 2011, 67 graduates to NTM&#8217;s mobilization center in central Pennsylvania and go through\u00a0WAYUMI (<a title=\"WAYUMI\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wayumi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.wayumi.com<\/a>). WAYUMI is a program designed to take people through a realistic missionary experience, hosted by experienced NTM missionaries who have planted churches in\u00a0the Yanomami and Hoti people groups.\u00a0Participants get to meet &#8220;tribal&#8221; people and interact with them, attempting to solicit words and phrases. They are taught how to do this in advance and as a result\u00a0get to see that it is achievable&#8230;it is do-able&#8230;even by ordinary people. God has used WAYUMI to convince a number of people to begin the NTM training and attend New Tribes Bible Institute.\u00a0We are so excited to be a part of taking people to WAYUMI and\u00a0encouraging others to go. Church groups, youth groups and individuals\u00a0can go for a weekend or for 5 days. It is life-changing!!!\u00a0If you know of anyone considering whether they should serve the Lord full time in\u00a0missions, please let them know about WAYUMI. Contact us for more information if you want to.\u00a0And please&#8230;PRAY&#8230;for God to continue to use WAYUMI to continue to raise up more laborers.
