Claudio and Edna Berto Your connection to Tribal Ministries 
Camdenton, October, 07
“Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;
But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.” Rom 15:20,21
Dear Brothers and sisters,
The verses above have been through the years a great challenge for us. Ahead of this challenge God has placed us in some different works through the years, and we praise the Lord as , He has allowed us to be part of the Evangelization of the peoples, who had still never heard of the gospel.
. This has been our commitment before the Lord, who has straightened us daily.
The French version of the verse above brings us closer to the original. It says that it is a great honor to announce the gospel. So, it is not just the Purpose, but also it is an honor to preach the Gospel where Christ has been not known.
We do miss our time in Senegal and so as soon as we can, we would like to go back. Therefore we see that God still wants us here working to prepare more missionaries for the end of the earth. Thanks for remembering our ministry and our family in your prayers!
The Training is already on the third month of classes, and the students have been adjusted very well here at the School. During the Training the students are involved in one program that is called Personal Development. In this program all the students are connected with the Staffs. So the students come to our houses and we also visit them looking for to know them better and to help them in their needs.
The Institute has now 140 students and it has been a great pleasure to be part of their lives.
I’m still working at the maintenance of the institute and Edna has worked with the Child Care. She takes care of the children whose parents are attending classes.
In September we had here in our house a special supper for 15 students, who are willing to go to Africa. We spoke to them concerning the work in Senegal too. They really enjoyed the Maffe (typical dish in Senegal), that Edna prepared. They were very excited about the work in Africa after hearing and seeing the slides concerning the missionary work in Senegal, and also what god has done in that country.
We’re still teaching French to: Chris and Ruth Altimiller, as they are going for Guinea Conakry, West Africa. Please pray for them, that God continues helping them in the preparation for the work in African.
On the third of November Edna and I will be starting to teach these new missionaries on how to learn a tribal language. There will be six weeks of intensive teaching.
In October we had two birthdays in our family. Ozilia turned 21 years on the 11th and Edna became prettier on the 20th! We praise God for each one of them and for the blessing that they have been in our family!
We would like to express our appreciation to each one of you. Thank you for your prayers, and for the blessing that you have been in our lives. We feel honored to work with you.
Let’s continue reaching the enriched,
Claudio, Edna, Ozilia, Oséias and Joice Berto
