July Praises and Prayer Requests

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Praises!!!

The Lord is faithfully increasing our support – we are at 56%!!!

The Lord has guided us!!  He has answered our prayers about when to leave for Mexico for Spanish study!  We will not be leaving in July, but are waiting until our support is a bit higher.  We are aiming to leave around the end of September.  We feel like we can breathe now!

We’re having a great summer in Ohio!  We’ve been able to get together with friends and are making fun memories with our families before we leave!

Prayer Requests:

Using our time wisely; we are so inclined to live for ourselves, however, we desire to be a blessing and
expose people to the great need for missions!!  We also have much to do to prepare for Mexico and Paraguay. Speaking opportunities in our area 

Support level would continue to increase

???How can we pray for you???

Travis, Canaan and Isaiah planting our garden

        New Information!!

We were recently informed of a U.S. Policy that states that after we return from Mexico next summer we must be on our way to Paraguay within 30 days. This was a surprise to us!

What’s the Big Deal?

PRAISE: A Financial Update

PRAISE: A Financial Update 

As most of you know, New Tribes Missionaries are not salaried. We depend on God’s provision through the faithful monthly support of local churches and individuals.   Presently we are at 55% of our recommended monthly support level!

Thanks so much for your support and prayers.  It is a privilege to serve together with you to reach those in Paraguay that haven’t heard!!

Praises
Family: Our marriage is doing well! Our boys are happy and healthy!

God protected us from a potential accident on I-75!

Ministry: Our monthly support continues to rise – 35%!!!    Great trip to Tennessee!

Speaking opportunities we did not plan for and the Lord helping Travis through those!

Prayer Requests
Family: That we would be able to spend daily time with the Lord, even when we are not at home. Canaan and Isaiah as we continue to travel to “strange” places and visit people they do not know – and that we would be sensitive to their needs.

Ministry: We need to go to Mexico for a year to study Spanish and they would like us to begin in July instead of August. In order to do this, our support needs to be at 60% by June!

Paraguay: They need rain…bad.
3 couples in Paraguay have been hearing the Bible taught to them, beginning with Creation. They will soon be hearing about Christ’s death and resurrection – pray that they will understand and believe the Truth!

Opportunities

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Not many people know that there are still 2500 language groups without the Gospel.  We are compelled to share this need with others.  Please pray for open doors – opportunities to expose people to this need.  Pray that we would have boldness and make the most of every opportunity and that people would respond as the Holy Spirit leads.

On the Road Again

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Prayer Request:  We’re moving!  On December 20th we’ll be moving back to Ohio.  Goodbyes will be very tough this time.  Please pray for us as we transition and get used to the area and people again!  Isaiah has an especially hard time with moves.  Thank you!

Prayer Request Answered: We’re moved and doing great!  Isaiah had a smooth transition!  We do miss our neighbors and classmates but we’ve been able to see several of them because they drop by when they are traveling through Ohio!!

Decision Made! We’re Headed To…

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

The Manjuis, a tribe in Paraguay, reading the Scriptures in their own language!This past week, we attended the annual Field Fair right here on our Missionary Training Center campus!  NTM missionaries travel for miles to be here for this event.  Why?  Fresh blood!!  (Fresh blood = missionaries in training that are looking for a place to serve!)

The Field Fair is an event that all the students look forward to!  For two days, we get to sit back and listen to experienced missionaries describe their country to us, show us videos of the people and land, and tell us about the needs there.  They all have the same thing to say, “WE NEED HELP!!”  By the end our hearts are torn in 10 different directions!

For us, this year’s Field Fair marked a very important date: the date that we wanted to make a final decision about where we would be going!
