Summer Travels 2009

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Kessa with friends in AlabamaThough we packed up our stuff to move to a new place 10 times in less than 5 weeks, we DID survive and had some great times of fellowship along the way. As we shared about our ministry and New Tribes Mission in 3 different churches, we came away encouraged about the work God was doing in people’s hearts. Thank you, God, for the many opportunities to visit with our supporters, family, and friends, both new and old!

Upon returning from our trip, we jumped right into an “Enrichment Conference.” While New Tribes missionaries from both near and far were enjoying seminars, I was running around and giggling with the 5 year olds. Grant helped out in various IT capacities, and we both enjoyed being a part of encouraging missionaries in their ministries!

While I’m not fluent in Spanish or French or some remote tribal tongue, lately I’m finding myself thinking in about 6 different dialects, aside from English. How’s that possible? Well, we’re currently working on a brand new website for the staff and students here at NTM’s Missionary Training Center. In order for the new site to be the finished product we want it to be, I’ve had to do some custom developing which requires me to be familiar with quite a few different programming languages, including ASP.net, HTML, XML, XSL, CAML, & C# (c-sharp). It’s still a work in progress, so there may even be a few more languages to pick up along the way!
