the air we had 75 minutes to process the years of time, investment,  heartache, blood, sweat, tears, and victories that have taken place  there.\u00a0 It was SO humbling to witness the growth of the church both  numerically and in maturity.\u00a0 The Lord has been beyond good in allowing  us and YOU to play a significant part in seeing this church  established!\u00a0 As you have given to our support you have invested in  something that precious few have invested in, an unreached people group  hearing the name of Christ for the first time!!\u00a0 You know, the stock  market can come and go but nothing can ever snatch away the souls of  these tribal people who, now, eternally belong to God!\u00a0 Good investment,  guys!!\u00a0 You were wise.\u00a0 Good job!<\/p>\n<p>The Siawi Church now has 4 elders, 3 deacons and 3 missionaries that  they are sending deeper into the jungle to tell others of Christ.\u00a0 The  Bible translation will be completed in December 2012.\u00a0 All the  missionaries are moved out of the tribe with the exception of Linda  Krieg who will stay these last few months to finish the translation.<\/p>\n<p>Carrie and I also spent a week in a coastal town where I was  the speaker for the annual missionary gathering.\u00a0 I spoke 6 times  hoping to teach, challenge and inspire the <em>front line<\/em> jungle  missionaries.\u00a0 Again, I wish you could have been there.\u00a0 These men and  women are our heroes!\u00a0 They came out of the jungle (in some cases)  bruised and battered physically and spiritually but fully determined to  \u201cstay the course\u201d.\u00a0 These individuals are truly committed to the cause  of Christ.<\/p>\n<p>This Memorial Day we remembered the sacrifice of our\u00a0 veterans  as we all appreciate the cause they fought for and the utlimate  sacrifice they gave for us.\u00a0 During this day I also personally thanked  the Lord for the veterans of the church.\u00a0 They, too have given even to  the point of death for the cause of Christ.\u00a0 We have heroes all around  us don\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>Please pray for Carrie and I as we train new missionary candidates on a daily basis at New Tribes Bible Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Please pray for our continued financial support.\u00a0 We have been with NTM  for nearly 30 years and many of our supporters have gone to be with the  Lord.\u00a0 It is necessary for us to replace this support.\u00a0 As we train  missionary candidates the Siawi story will be replicated many times over  in our student\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p>Serving together with you,<br \/>\nRon and Carrie Lindsey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we boarded the Cessna 206 and headed interior to the Siawi Tribe the range of emotions that we experienced are
