Jim and Dena McMaster Just another weblog When we visited a church in Sebring, FL, we had a glad reunion with our old friend ‘Mopsy the clown.’
Peg and her husband Ralph Hudson toured the mid-West as the children’s ministry team of Mopsy and Derby. They were a wonderful addition to Vacation Bible Schools and other children’s programs for many years. Ralph has since gone to be with the Lord and Peggy married a wonderful man, Loren Shaleen.
Peg now teaches an adult Bible class in her home though she often uses the same material she taught children as Mopsy. It was great to talk about old times with Peg and get to know our new friend, Loren. One of the precious privileges of being a Representative for New Tribes Mission is visiting old friends and making new ones.
In my ministry of educating churches about the ministry of New Tribes Mission and challenging individuals to be involved in missions, I travel extensively to churches and homes. Gas prices have made that a bit of a trial.
Dena’s ministry is a little more confined. She sits at her computer in the Communication Department and writes:
o news articles for the web
o articles for our quarterly magazine, NTM@work
o and helps write any text that the mission publishes or disseminates
She also travels with me and takes part in presenting the needs of New Tribes Mission.
Pray for us as we travel these busy highways. Pray also for needed finances to travel more extensively. We feel we need to be making several trips but the funds are not there. Pray also for Dena’s health to continue to improve and for the medical expenses that continue to hinder our ministry.
