Tim and Tiffany Lanier Tribal Church Planting - en-route to Papua New Guinea
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
Noah & Micah ready to use their new suitcases
We were told many times through our missionary training that it was important as missionaries to remain FLEXIBLE. Well, I guess we are getting some practice! We’ve been talking with the leadership in Papua New Guinea this week and they have asked us to move our arrival date from September 1st to late October. Read the rest of this entry »
We have officially reached 75% of our monthly support! Praise the Lord!! We can now begin to look into purchasing our plane tickets for the end of October. We believe the Lord is leading us to take a step of faith and move ahead with our plans to leave in seven weeks, trusting that He will provide the remaining 25% of our monthly support by the time we leave.

Anna showing off her visa
This week we received Anna’s visa from the PNG Embassy in Washington! Praise the Lord! THAT IS THE LAST PIECE OF PAPERWORK WE NEED to take our family to Papua New Guinea! Now all that is left is to finish raising support and go! Read the rest of this entry »
Anna Faith
We are so excited to announce that Anna Faith was born June 8th at 2:49 pm! She was 8 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. I, Tiffany, usually have very long labors, so it was a bit of a shock to only be at the hospital 2 1/2 hours before she was born! (Labor was about 9 1/2 hours total) The boys absolutely love her and want to hold her all the time. Thank you to all of you for your prayers! We are so thankful for this wonderful blessing of our sweet little girl!
Our container headed for PNG... who will get there first? Us or it?
After many weeks of being very busy with supply buying, clothes shopping, packing, more shopping, more buying, and more packing, we are finally finished! What a relief! Saturday, June 6th, we delivered our crate, trunks, totes and boxes to be loaded onto a sea container bound for Papua New Guinea. Read the rest of this entry »
Noah in the crate
We are scrambling these days as it is now May. We are doing all we can to pack up all we’ll need the next four years to get it onto our container by the end of the month. Yesterday I (Tim) built a big crate to load some of our stuff into. Read the rest of this entry »
As we are building a support team we need your prayer in the following areas:
Relationships - that God would give us many opportunities to build relationships with people as we serve in our churches.
Speaking - as we travel and speak to churches and small groups we desire to share what God is doing around the world in tribal missions as well as our vision. Read the rest of this entry »
We began training with New Tribes Mission in the fall of 2003, only one month after our wedding. Why? Because we knew that all around the world there are thousands of people groups in some of the most remote and isolated areas of the world where the gospel has not reached.

Noah holding Micah
Well, classes have started again and things have taken off at full speed. Tim is enjoying his linguistics studies and has already been exposed to some amazing and mind boggling things that language can do. I am at home full time, which has been wonderful and exhausting all at once. Read the rest of this entry »
Micah Andrew
He is finally here! Tiffany went into the hospital to be induced on the 28th and after a smooth labor and delivery our little guy was born at 12:09am on June 29th. He weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 20 ¾ inches long. He has been a sweet and delightful little boy. Noah loves having a little brother and takes every opportunity he can find to give him lots of hugs and kisses. We thank the Lord for a healthy baby and delivery! Thank you for all your prayers for us through Tiffany’s pregnancy.
