NTM

We continue to have input with the Church leaders of the 4 tribes NTM has worked in in the Upper Kapuas area however we are no longer living in the Punan village in the duplex we built to assist Rachel.  Her brother’s family has joined her to take on that ministry.  We felt the need to have a center near Putussibau to assist them and others moving into our area to be able to get supplies out to them and also as a home away from home as they move in and out of the area.  We started building in Oct. and have just about finished it up.  The picture was taken mid Jan.  Since then we have moved in and are working on finishing up the minor details to make it a comfortable stop over for our families.

Our more central location makes it easier to work with church leaders in the whole area.

Turkey is a rare item for dinner here in Indonesia so this was a very special occasion but even more so as we were able to spend it with DJ and Jennifer and our precious granddaughters, Areli and Galilee.

We spent 5 days in Jakarta for some rest and a bit of shopping.  Jennifer made us a splendid full turkey dinner with all the trimmings!  Being with the twins was a special delight.  They are talking so much more now and most of the time you can even understand them    Check out the photo albums for more pictures.

Now we are back in Pontianak and will soon be spending some time with our fellow missionaries for a few days of fellowship.  Teresa will be preparing the breakfasts for about 30 people for 6 mornings.

We hope to go back interior about Dec. 6th.
