NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

To see the tropical paradise we live in from the air gives me a  whole new perspective.   The beauty that surrounds us  is always there but I  just get caught up in every day things and take it for granted.  I so often forget to be thankful because I am not walking in God’s prespective of that day.  It’s so much easier to have an earthly perspective which only makes me complain about the heat and humidity, the bugs,  the people we work with and countless other things.  But I don’t have to fly high to have God’s perspective. Just being thankful changes that.  Psalm 92:1-15

Ladies how would you like to work in this nursery?  Sure would save a lot of money on cribs and changing tables along with a lot of other things.  Recently one of couple (Tim & Tiffany Lanier and their three children spent two months (bush orientation) in one of our tribal works where a church has been establish. They were learning how to live in the bush.  As we listen to them tell of their two months and all they had learned and some of the interesting things they saw, this church nursery was mentioned. This couple hung their little girl, Anna right along side these village babies who take great naps as they swing from the rafters of the meeting house.

This is just one of hundreds of different things bush missionaries must adapt to, things that are not right or wrong but for sure very different. We are just grateful to be part of the support team that helps these young couples get out into these villages, learn the language, teach the people to read and write their own language so they can read the Bible after its translated and then taught. The missionaries heart is for that tribal person to believe the truth of the Bible..John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not parish, but have everlasting life.

We are reminded all the time how much a part of our minsitry you are by your praying and giving…thank you.
