John and Margaret Birkemo Expanding the Reach of the Gospel 
This week Dick Bott, founder of BRN invited me to bring a student couple to his radio studio for an interview.
Rob and Amy Ellis were able to share how the Lord had worked in their lives to bring them into New Tribes Mission. 
I was able to share concerning the Missionary Training Center and our latest project, the Fleming Center, a 50,000 sq. ft. educational/administrative facility. This building is critical if the MTC is going to be able to accommodate an increase in enrollment of 5% per year for the next several years. We hope to break ground on this project this coming summer and have the building ready for use by the fall of 2010. 
During the interview, Dick gave a ringing endorsement of New Tribes Mission and of the young people that God is raising up to serve among tribal people.
