Do you remember, back just after New Year’s Day, we told you that our online resource library had crashed? It was a website where we had uploaded all the Spanish resource material for Latin American cross-cultural church planters translated since SLR was started in 1998.
The blessing God had hidden in that shocking turn of events was the fact that it kick-started the process of our NTM Communications Dept taking responsibility for hosting the site. They had a lot of other projects on their plate, so we had to be patient, but today I was introduced by online conferencing (a new experience) to our new Online Resource Library site.
It will take a some time to upload the 500 documents with their descriptions and titles, etc., but it’s exciting to be getting started on that process. Soon these equipping resources will be instantly available to our Latin American missionary partners all over the hemisphere –- just a few clicks away!
Esther at the NTM Missionary Training Center in Missouri
Many of you already know that Eida flew out to California on July 31st to help Esther with her move to Missouri to finish her NTM missionary training (2 more years).
We could write screenfuls about how God generously provided for our daughter –- starting with giving her a much newer and more comfortable car with more carrying space. She needed every cubic inch – it was packed to the headliner! She and Eida arrived here in El Paso on August 4th, then left for Missouri on the 14th, arriving at the MTC the following evening. Eida helped Esther get moved in and organized, then flew home on the 18th.
It was not easy for Esther to say goodbye to all her central coast friends. We are very grateful for the way the loving people at Atascadero Bible Church took her in to their church family and gave her the opportunity to exercise her gifts and talents. She really put some roots down there.
To see some pictures of her new digs and read her thoughts, click on this link to her blog: http://estheruth.blogspot.com/ She’s already singing on the worship team!
