Hi again,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
April showers bring May flowers. My mom,\nHedy, says the weeds in our front & back yards are starting to call her.\nIt\u2019s hard to persuade dear momma to relax, to not work too hard. It\u2019s spring,\nafter all! Mom has recovered well from her falls and skin cancer minor surgery.\nWe had a great Mother\u2019s Day, even though one of my brothers, who was going to\nbe with us that day, wasn\u2019t able to make it. But we shared our Mother\u2019s Day\nmeal with a couple from church who had lost their only son six months ago.\nThere were also several other real close friends from church here in Alabama\nwho have lost loved ones in the last few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my French translation ministry for West\nAfrica, I have just finished a PowerPoint project about the first 15 years of\nNew Tribes Mission*. There were several tragic deaths in our early mission\nhistory, yet God has grown this mission to reach more than 40 countries,\nestablishing churches in over 350 languages. Last month we celebrated Easter,\nand Christ\u2019s resurrection proves that death no longer needs to keep man\neternally separated from God. This motivates us to keep training more\nmissionaries to be able to tell this Good News to people from language groups who\nstill have not heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PRAY\nwith us:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n – that African\nbelievers will catch the vision to reach the people groups that still don\u2019t\nhave God\u2019s Word in their language;<\/p>\n\n\n\n – that we will\nbe efficient in preparing missionary training materials in French;<\/p>\n\n\n\n – that God will be bring stability to\nHaiti, where missionaries had to leave (so my trip there was postponed\nindefinitely).**<\/p>\n\n\n\n PRAISE\nGod with us:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n – for our\nhealth & strength to serve God from Alabama, while caring for mom;<\/p>\n\n\n\n – for God\u2019s\npeople serving in West Africa, reaching ethnic groups throughout that\ncontinent;<\/p>\n\n\n\n – for God\u2019s people who faithfully partner\nwith them, helping proclaim that Death has been conquered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serving a Living Lord,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 “As part of the Church –\u00a0serving the Church –\u00a0to expand the Church.”<\/em><\/strong> *PS: since the 75th<\/sup> anniversary of NTM, our decentralized mission works under multiple names, like: Ethnos360, Ethnos Canada, & Vision Int\u00e9grale (our French name in West Africa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n **See our January 2019 blog re my previously planned trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi again, April showers bring May flowers.
