NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

Well, the lesson God has certainly been teaching us this semester has been to increase our trust in Him. We never know what will happen or how the next moment will turn out. I have missed many classes due to kids’ illnesses – sometimes finding out just as we were walking out the door to head to class.

Elijah was diagnosed with mono, so that has been a stretching time, as well as the few things that have happened with Macayla. The same week Elijah was diagnosed with mono, Macayla stuck an air-soft BB up her nose. She got it so stuck that Bryson spent a whole morning running around to doctors to try to get the thing out. After much effort on behalf of the specialist, it came out. Just recently, Macayla fell out her second story bedroom window, landing on a very narrow gable roof. God kept His hand on her, and kept her safe while Bryson pulled her in through the window.

We are also learning to trust God with our little Hannah. She is at school all day long and struggles with being away from mommy and daddy for that long. She is having a very emotional time while adjusting to the new schedule.

We are definitely learning to trust God with our children’s health, safety, and general wellbeing.

You are so big. Your love is so big. Your desire is for all people groups to know You. But there are so many. Will you use me? How many may I reach? Could I please reach a tribe with Your gospel? Could I reach two? Oh, but God, I don’t know what I’m doing. Please teach me. Fill my head with this knowledge of culture and language and linguistics and worldviews and teaching your Holy Word. Please give me wisdom. Please prepare me, mold me, and form me to have the best impact possible on as many people as possible. And Lord, please teach me to rely on you for all that is necessary to make a dent on such a daunting task. I am small. But You are big.
