Signs I’ve been at this too long?

March 22, 2016

This week I head to West Africa, in order to gather photos and stories about the amazing things God is doing there through New Tribes Mission. But as I finished packing, and ran out for a couple of last-minute things, it occured to me that some things I take for granted may mark me as […]

Folders

March 22, 2016

In this day of high speed technology and latest electronic gadgets, I’m so thankful for a good old-fashioned folder. Yes, I, too, enjoy gadgets like computers and i-devices that truly are valuable for the ministry. However, the one item that seems to be most useful is a 10-cent folder. Without these inexpensive folders, my desk […]

He is Risen

March 21, 2016

Dear Friends, Spring greetings and Easter pondering to you. Our family is really enjoying the new signs of life and beautiful flowers all around as the weather warms. We’re also enjoying the public celebrations of Easter as we rejoice in our Lord. Remembering Easter in years past has been just with our team in the […]

Becoming

March 20, 2016

This morning I helped out in children’s ministry at my home church. I was in the 2 and 3 year old class. There is a sweet little girl who is still warming up to the idea of being left in children’s ministry while her parents are in church. She isn’t a crier. She just stays […]

Buffalo and Ducks…and other suprises

March 20, 2016

Sometimes when a day starts, you never quite know what it will hold. Like when you are going to a Chinese New Year something-or-other with friends (sometimes things get lost in translation) and you think it will be a big red dragon parade and instead you get rain, a variety of dragons, loud drums, a […]

Training, Translation And A Drone

March 18, 2016

Back in January a friend’s drone captured some aerial shots of our tribe. In the above photo is our airstrip with the mission plane on the ground in front of our bush house and the tribal church building just across from the plane. At this stage, with the church becoming more mature we don’t live […]

Tribal Visit: BG

March 17, 2016

By way of review: our family has begun prayerfully considering with which people group we will work in the years to come. In November, we wrote of plans to begin visiting church plant locations in Mexico – the shortage of workers right now makes opening a new work highly unlikely, so we have focused on […]

They May Be Small…

March 14, 2016

Half way through the trip we got the opportunity to share at the believers meeting. At the meeting there were 4 men and 2 women and the kids that came a long with them. It was such a small group compared to the size of the village. There were some ways that you could look […]

Catch the Vision

March 12, 2016

Several times during the school year NTBI hosts a “Catch the Vision” event where young people who are looking into further education come and visit our school to see “what we are all about”. This past weekend was one of those events and our Mobilization Team involved all of us! An International Dinner was planned, […]
