Exciting happenings

YES, EXCITING THINGS HAPPEN IN ROACH, MISSOURI!

Just this week a member of the NTM executive board talked to us here at the MTC about changes happening in NTM’s strategy in Africa. It was so exciting it almost made us want to go and reach another tribe!

Last week George Walker came and talked about Worldview, challenging the students to not just preach the gospel, but to preach with the knowledge that others’ worldview is so different from ours that they will HAVE to address those underlying issues or they’ll find themselves with new believers that don’t understand that God is really above all and wants to be involved in every area of their lives—their gardens, their marriages, their businesses, etc.

This week I began teaching foundational Bible teaching in Genesis. Although I’ve taught it many times in three languages, there’s always more to learn and get excited about.

Janet is learning how to teach a new culture & language-learning class. It’s not exactly exciting yet, but she thinks it will be once she understands the new concepts. Yes, it’s a different approach than we used to tackle two languages in Papua New Guinea. In four weeks she’ll be going with 40 students to Oklahoma to help them as they study the Cherokee language. They’ll be there 5 weeks using the tools they’ve learned. More on that to come…

A COUPLE THINGS TO PRAY ABOUT:

Josh (our oldest) still has not found a job. Please pray! Chris (his wife) hopes to take her nursing exam soon so she can work as an R.N.

Our boat died. Well, it ran into a log that wasn’t exactly flexible. And on the Lake of the Ozarks, with lots of students that would love to have a boat-ride, that’s tragic. Well, not tragic, but a disappointment. We do use it as a tool to spend time with the students, getting to know them better. Please pray that we’ll know how to get it fixed or even if it’s worth fixing. It’s almost as old as we are.
