Our thanksgiving was spent in Missouri at NTM’s Missionary Training Center. Last minute plans came together for us to celebrate thanksgiving break with some really good friends we’ve made while in ministry at NTM training centers. It was so good to fellowship with them.

Clayton & Cindy Brown were the first couple we connected with when we were on staff at Jersey Shore, PA. They attended Maranatha Bible Church with us. Our visit with them was full of practical jokes, sharing what God has done in our lives, sightseeing, and wisdom from a shepherd’s heart.
The other couple we went to visit was Rob and Amy Ellis. If you look back through our news articles you will see their name pop up
quite a bit since we developed a very close relationship with them during their two years at the Bible School. Preparing dishes for thanksgiving dinner, playing outside with our kids, and playing games in the evening were all things we enjoyed with them.
It was neat to run into many other former students of NTBI at MTC whom we have chatted with or had in our home. We praise the Lord for this awesome opportunity to fellowship with friends and for safe travel on both 13 hour drives.
