I am truly blessed. I get to work with some of the best co-workers in the world. And we get to join God in some pretty exciting work. Not only are we part of the team that is planting churches in unreached people groups around the world, but we have the privliage of telling people the exciting stories of what God is doing.
And we have all heard the expression, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” So why not use Instragram to share what God is doing? Check out NTM’s Instragram page: http://instagram.com/newtribes
Do you love social media? Do you know someone who does, and also loves the Lord and partnering with Him? I am looking for more people interested in joining the team. Please email me if you know someone who might be interested!

“What in the world is God doing?” Have you ever asked yourself this?
Last fall I had the privilege of taking a class one night a week in Cambridge that answered this very question. The Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course was fanastic. So much so I want to see it taught in Grey County.
So together with some outstanding teammates, I am hoping to see this become a reality. We are tentatively planning on it running February-May, 2014.
Have you taken this course before? If so, please share your impressions in the comments below. If not, I highly recommend you do.
You can learn more on these websites: http://www.perspectivescanada.org/ and http://www.perspectives.org/site/pp.aspx?c=eqLLI0OFKrF&b=2806295

Where were we earlier tonight? At Christmas in the Country, of course!
This was our second time going. We had a blast!
The girls (and Jason) all got to ride in a little atv-drawn train. And we all went on a horse drawn wagon. We saw geese, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens. Even alpacas.
And we got to hold baby rabbits.
But the best part was likely getting our photos with… nope, not Santa Claus (that line up was too long) … but with Vixon.

God loves people from all cultures, and desires to see them all ‘singing His praises.’ God has given the Church the greatest commission ever — “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
John 4:35 reads, “Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!”
Jesus says again, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” in Luke 10:2
The labourers are few. Part of the reason is that beleivers today don’t always know what work there is left to do. So a couple weeks back I joined Peter Yoon and Norm Copeland and others in Toronto to share about the work God is doing through New Tribes Mission.

This past weekend we were able to head a bit north for some extended family time. We stayed at Miller’s Family Campground with Jason’s dad, brother and sister-in-law. It rained on and off all weekend and it was quite cold, but we weren’t bothered by any of that. Thankfully we’d had the foresight to book two little cabins, which had cold running water, but best of all, they had wood stoves! We were toasty and dry all weekend! 
It did stop raining enough for us to enjoy some walks and a little trip into Tobermory. The girls were pretty disappointed that they couldn’t go swimming in Miller Lake, but they seemed to enjoy themselves despite that fact!
Here are a few pictures of the older girls (the youngest was napping at the time) taken by our wonderful sister-in-law:
You can see our little cabins in the background.
The view from our cabins.
Sisterly Love.
Even Lexi joined in the fun!

Looking back
- Thank you for praying for Angie as she began teaching Algebra II at the NTMC Academy. Her student is getting “A’s” on his quizes.
- Thank you for praying for Delena. She has had two fantastic days at school. She is in a grade 1 and Senior Kindergarden split class (she is in SK this year).
- Thank you for praying for T’Miika, Norm and myself as we learn how to work as a team. It is going really well.
Looking forward
- Please continue to pray for Delena this school year, that she would have a positive influence on her class.
- Please continue to pray for Angie as she balances her responsibilites in our home, teaching Algebra, church life, social life, etc.
- Please pray that nothing shows up on Jason’s MRI in Toronto booked for the middle of October. His specialist there just wants to keep an eye on his Crohn’s Disease.
- Please pray for Jason as he starts taking a weekly 3-hour class in Cambridge next Thursday. Check out http://www.perspectivescanada.org/ for more info on the course.
- The biggest thing to be praying for this week is Jason’s stress levels. He is helping oversee a conference for all the recruiters and representatives of NTM across Canada. They start arriving today, with most clearing out in a week’s time.

WOW! We are pumped. We had 144 children pre-registered for VBS, and 184 showed up for the first day. We are truly blessed, but at the same time needing your prayers — our enemy will not stand by idly. If you are led to pray while we are running, it is from 9:30-noon each morning, and our BBQ and evening program is Wednesday.
Know some kids in the Huron County area needing something to do this week? We have bus pick ups in a number of towns. Check out the church website to see what all the buzz is about.
The evening program being on Wednesday helps me out (not intentionally of course) as I confirmed today that my contractor is planning on framing and sheathing our new roof Thursday and Friday, and I will be out there shingling with whoever shows up Friday evening and Saturday. I appreciate your prayers for safety!

This past weekend was spent with Jason’s extended family on his Mom’s side. His grandma turned 70 and what better excuse to get together! We even managed to have it as a surprise, despite the fact that she knew that numerous relatives were in the area! It was a very fun time together and the weather was perfect!
We took advantage of the trip down that way by making it an all day event — I spent the morning with my family making strawberry jam and Jason spent most of his day helping his brother Sean (and Erica) work on their new home in Wingham. The girls and I went to the family gathering around noon and visited and went swimming with cousins. Jason arrived on the scene around 4pm, so we could all eat the fabulous meal that was provided!
It was so good to see all the family and catch up with everyone — some whom we haven’t seen since our wedding 6 years ago!
Here are a few pictures from the day:
Jason with his grandparents (The birthday girl and her man)
Jason with his Great-Grandma (who is going on 97 years old, and still as sharp as a tack) and his cousin
