"I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I wil praise You among many people."

Psalm 35:18

Serving NTM Missionaries in Regional Member Care

EXPAND the REACH of the GOSPEL

For nearly 30 years we've been actively involved as part of the team EXPANDING the REACH of the GOSPEL.

In our early years we were part of a tribal church planting team, evangelizing, discipling, and developing tribal church leadership among the Kuna people in the remote jungles of Panama.

More recently, we've been part of the member care team - affirmimg and encouraging our NTM coworkers to press on with the tremendous job and awesome privilege of EXPANDING the REACH of the GOSPEL to unreached people groups.

What an honor it has been these many years to be involved in what is closest to God's heart.... REACHING the UNREACHED with the GOSPEL.

There is nothing quite as thrilling as witnessing first hand "the lights turning on"  in tribal people's eyes as they "see" and understand for the first time that Jesus is their sacrifical lamb..."who takes away the sin of the world."

Four Kuna believers traveled over muddy, difficult trails to be missionaries to their own people in a village that once refused missionaries. There are now 14 new adult believers. One couple reported teaching evangelistic Bible lessons to a group of more than 100 children. Praise God for His work and pray for a continuing ministry in this village.
