That is a lot of exposure to the Living Word of God! Interacting with Him throughout the whole time and process\u2026they will not be the same in just a few weeks. What an incredible privilege to be part of their discipleship and growth! Thank You Lord!Some of them will end up with New Tribes Mission. In just a few years they will be on the mission field somewhere studying an unknown language and culture, all with the goal of learning both well enough to teach a people group about God and His one and only Son\u2026and to present the Gospel of Grace in Christ Jesus. For a quick look at how it will unfold, check out this brand new video from NTM\u2026<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/-NP1oBb3jmY\">Click here to watch &#8220;Awakening&#8221;<\/a>. <\/strong>(less than 3 minutes, but so good!
