Colonel Mustard with the Guitar

January 25, 2016

Thankfully there is no mustard on the guitar. But with kids you never know what you might get. A few months ago, Ginger and I were just talking about the ministry and how the kids were doing in school. We realized that with four kids, none of them seemed to be getting any one-on-one time […]

Disciple at Home

January 24, 2016

“What about your kids?!” was one of the biggest and most frequently asked questions we heard as we were preparing to leave the States and plunge into a strange new world, new culture, and new language with our family. I have to admit, I’ve asked God the same question quite a few times since we’ve […]

The Hunted and the Haunted

January 22, 2016

So lately I’ve found myself on edge. I feel like I’m being stalked…by mosquitoes. Although I’m sure they’re acting purely instinctually, it seems a bit more intentional at times. In a room full of people, I will be bitten tenfold. Right now, I feel like I’m in the middle of an all-out war against these […]

Will not hell quicken me?

January 22, 2016

I’ve been reading Charles Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening devotional, and in one of his writings, he said this: We are so sluggish that the best motives cannot quicken us, apart from the Lord himself. What! Will not hell quicken me? Shall I think of sinners perishing, and yet not be awakened? Will not heaven quicken […]

Gwandambi, the Simbari boy who had a bone infection, has continued to make good progress. His cast has been removed and one of our mission’s physical therapists is helping him to regain motion and build up strength in the leg. He is walking with a cane now instead of crutches. Around Christmas many Simbari […]

First Trial Literacy Class on the way

January 21, 2016

As we near the end of our language and culture studies, we started to take the next step, a literacy program. We are still in the development stages, but it is exciting to finally start doing something else besides language learning. And, it is even more exciting to think about the day the Glarro will […]

Schaible Update – A History of Our Ministry – 2016

January 20, 2016

25 Years Ago Today! Dear Friends and Co-Laborers, I am going to be sharing with you about an event which happened 25 years ago today.

Gone

January 19, 2016

For those of you who don’t know, Alisha’s dad passed away two weeks ago. I apologize for the delay in letting everyone know, but I just haven’t had a chance to post an update til now. It seems that he died peacefully in his sleep. We got to see him before he died, and when […]

Just Imagine

January 19, 2016

Just imagine if you were hearing the story of God, Jesus, and the Bible for the very first time! –There are many tribesmen now hearing the message of the virgin birth and the story of Jesus which culminates in the gospel. New Tribes Mission has been declaring Christ to the nations for more than seventy years. […]

Ethan Turns 9

January 18, 2016

I can hardly believe that Ethan has turned 9. It was a big year for him. The 3 months in states that Ethan had at English speaking schools really helped build up his confidence in studying. Since there he has done much better at school here and is actually more at the top of his […]
