Ian and Julie Fallis Your connection with tribal missions
The new Wayumi video is online, in a new website for NTM’s Wayumi program.
I started on the script for this video while in Indonesia making the short film Awayo, which is set to be completed this month and released on DVD in September, with extras such as interviews with Moi believers.
It’s neat to see the Wayumi video complete. Let us know if you like it.
We face choices every day … but sometimes it seems like you don’t have a good one. Even when things seem obvious at first. And that seems to happen to missionaries overseas a bit more.
For example … Read the rest of this entry »
You gotta figure God is trying to tell you something when you come across the same biblical truths in the course of a day.
Earlier this week my devotions took me to 1 Corinthians 1, where I read from one of my Bible translations, “Through Christ Jesus you have become rich in every way …. Therefore you don’t lack any gift ….”
And reading that, I thought about Read the rest of this entry »
What do you think a Christian looks like?
I was on my way to pick up my son from soccer camp, which had ended early because a storm was rolling in. Stopped at a traffic light, I could see it ahead: roiling black clouds punctuated by occasional bursts of lightning.
But I could also see that the light had changed, and my lane was not moving. The car just a bit ahead of me was still stopped. The passenger Read the rest of this entry »
Thank you for praying about a couple of our ministry needs. So far, $730 has come in and another $500 has been pledged toward our next trip, leaving a need of $270.
We are also in need of $9,865 for ministry equipment before our next overseas trip, which could be as soon as this fall.
The August issue of NTM’s magazine, NTM@work, is almost complete, and our writers are working on their stories for the November issue. Pray that their contacts go well and they would be able to pull together good stories that encourage folks to get more involved with the work God is doing through New Tribes Mission.

The Moi film is almost complete. The editing and effects should be complete at any time — perhaps today — and then we’re going to have an English voice-over recorded.
The promotional video for NTM’s Wayumi program is almost complete as well.
Pray that each of these projects will soon be completed, and pray for wisdom about what comes next.

What if they said, “Yeah, we’re going on a bike ride on Sundays, so we’re moving our meetings to Saturdays.”
Do you think there would be an uproar? Read the rest of this entry »
You meet a lot of people … and every so often, you meet a character.
I don\’t mean that in a bad way. The folks I\’d call characters are those who brighten a room. People you enjoy being around. But they\’re also people with a different perspective. A unique way of looking at life. A special way of living life.
That\’s how David Lee struck me the first time I met him.
I shared a little about David back in November 2006, about a year after Read the rest of this entry »
Our oldest daughter, Jackie, is having problems still related to Lyme disease. Due to constant vertigo, she is disabled, and volunteers as a writer at New Tribes Mission when she can. Because she’s a volunteer, she is able to use an NTM apartment, but her rent (like ours) has been rising and it’s difficult for her to afford on her disability payments. Pray that she can get an increase in her disability payments so she can make ends meet.
Also, she’s been experiencing a lot of serious vertigo trouble lately. Pray that she has less so she can get around and be more active.
Finally, she is hoping to get the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, to take a look and see if they can help with her vertigo. She’s applied for charity status; pray that it is approved so she can get help.
