Daily Scripture
 
"Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord."

Psalm 31:24

Don & Julie Flower

God has been so faithful through the years. We have been so privileged to serve in New Tribes Mission and in the out reach here in Paraguay. God has given us the privilege to teach the Pai people the Systematic Bible lessons and see them understand the Gospel message.

We would choose to do it all over again and the only thing we would change would be that we would listen more, be kinder, be more patient and more loving. What a wonderful life & privilege we have had.

Don
I grew up in a loving Christian home where church & God was the center of our lives. We often had the guest speaker or visiting missionary in our home and each summer I went to Ontario Bible Camp in New York working as counselors & life guard. In my high school years we moved to Orlando, Florida where we began attending a church where some students from the New Tribes Mission training also attended. My parents would invite the students home with us for lunch after church. We began attending the Tuesday evening fellowship meetings at the New Tribes training camp. That is where I was challenged for missions. After graduating from high school I sent my application to the New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In August of 1989 I began my training to become a missionary.

Julie
I grew up in a loving Christian home where church & God was the center of our lives. We often had the guest speaker or visiting missionary in our home and I went to Prescott Pines Bible camp each summer for a week. At camp I heard a missionary speak & I dedicated my life to God when I was 12 years old to be a missionary.  After graduating from high school I was struggling with the Lord about being a missionary when he sent a missionary from New Tribes Mission to my home church to speak. God used him to challenge me for missions to tribal people and in a week I was off to the New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Julie flew from Arizona & Don flew from Florida to both meet for the first time at the New Tribes Mission Bible Institute. Of course it was love at first sight. smile We were married Dec. 1971. We completed the New Tribes Mission Training in May 1973 and we set a date to fly to Paraguay, S.A.  for the first of the year. We traveled visiting family & churches for 6 months. January 1974 we arrived in Paraguay.
