Thankfulness

November 28, 2018

As I traveled this summer, I shared the story of the Menya people, of the day when they became our brothers and sisters in Christ. What a day that was! It happened during the sixth week of teaching, when the missionaries came to “Cross Day.” This was the day they were going to present the […]

Rustic Travels

June 22, 2018

In the late 1950s, Sophie Muller, a blue-eyed, single woman with a background in journalism and art, traveled the rivers and jungles of Colombia, spending several days each month in each village. There were no planes, no hotels, no restaurants. Travel meant sitting on the rough wooden bench of a dugout canoe for days on […]

When the Rubber Meets the Road

April 3, 2018

We can talk about walking by faith, but it’s when the rubber meets that road that it becomes real. Missionaries Jhon and Danelvis Barrio know about faith becoming real. They tell a story from their early years ministering among the Tikuna people, a story that’s a testimony to the faithfulness of God. They were out […]

Traveling in Tanzania

March 3, 2018

We’ve traveled the length and breadth of Tanzania. From the oppressive heat of Dar Es Salaam to the coolness of a mountain villlage in the southwest we met the Tanzanian people, a friendly people with ready smiles and greetings. We found the same to be true as we drove 17 hours north over well-paved roads […]

Africa, Here I Come!

February 7, 2018

I’ve never been to Africa. I’ve seen a lot of pictures. I’ve heard a lot of stories. And I’ve always thought that would be the extent of my knowledge of that vast continent. But that’s about to change. I’m about to find out what Africa is like! Vaccinations have been updated, malaria prophylaxis is in […]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

December 20, 2017

As I reflect on this past year, I’m still amazed how much actually took place. Between the move to the new office, rolling out a our new name of Ethnos360, and celebrating the mission’s 75th anniversary, it was a year that was full to overflowing. And then the year wrapped up with the sale of […]

Celebrations!

October 20, 2017

I survived the week of celebrations! Actually, it wasn’t a matter of survival. It was a lot of fun! It was a good week of reflecting on all God has done and seeing Him glorified. Because really, it’s all about Him. Missions is all about God. We’re just privileged in joining Him in seeing unreached people groups reached. Pastor Appreciation Luncheon I […]

Hurricanes and Celebrations

October 10, 2017

It’s been a busy few months on many levels! Your prayers have been and continue to be appreciated! But what have I been doing? Preparing for Hurricane Irma’s arrival. Think extra water. (Since when my electricity goes out, so does my water.) Think gas for the small generator my brother had for us to use. (Yes, a […]

What a Story to Tell!

July 31, 2017

A highlight of my summer trip was having the opportunity to share of yet another people group reached with the gospel message. What a privilege! For years, the Iski people of Papua New Guinea blended animistic beliefs with misunderstood Western religions, trying to do the right things to pay for their sins and save themselves. But […]

A New Name — The Same Vision

May 1, 2017

Here at NTM, as we celebrate 75 years since the mission was founded, we’re reflecting on what God has accomplished in missions down through the years — and we’re even getting a bit nostalgic about our heritage. As I’ve read back over our history, NTM’s founders’ vision continues to challenge me: “By unflinching determination we […]
