Daily Scripture
 
"Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption."

Psalm 16:9-10

Who are we?

David was born in Colorado and moved to Papua New Guinea with his family when he was a senior in high school. After graduating he stayed on another six months to help his parents with the ministry in the Aria tribe. God used this time in his life to show him the great need for tribal evangelization. In order to prepare for ministry God directed him to New Tribes Bible Institute. At the beginning of his second year he met Shirley for the first time. She is from Maine and she left her job as a medical assistant to go on a short term mission trip to the Ivory Coast. While working on a building project, God showed her that there are many groups of people around the world who need the Gospel. After completing Bible School in 1989 Dave and Shirley were married and entered into the missionary training with New Tribes Mission.
