NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

Dear Friends,     

“For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waited for him”.

                                                                            Isa 64:4

            Truly, there is no other god besides of our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As the prophet Isaiah said, this is the only God who gives many blessings to those who love him, and wait on Him. Nobody has ever seen or heard a god like the God of Israel.
           

God has blessed us with many kinds of blessings. He has blessed us in our ministry of discipleship with the new missionaries at Missionary Training Center. We always share with them about our lives and the experiences that we had on the mission field.  Check out the testimony of one of the missionaries who was trained here:

            “In 2007, one of the village of Papua New Guinea heard the gospel, joyfully accepted it and many of them began worshipping the one true God who alone is worthy. Now these same believers themselves are beginning the literacy and gospel outreaches that are needed to reach the other 2,700 people who have the same language. Amazing!  Sometimes we get so busy in what we are doing that we forget to stop and look back and remember how the Lord has worked in our lives to equip us for the work He is doing through us. In light of that, we want to stop and thank the Lord for the great cross-cultural mission training we received through New Tribes Mission. We want to especially thank the staff that works at the training centers for the time they give to equip new generations of missionaries and for passing on their life stories and examples to those of us who are able to take and apply those principles to our own new works. We are also thankful for those who prayerfully and financially support these trainers and teachers as they work stateside. Their jobs may not be taking place on foreign soil, but they are no less impacting the world of tribal missions as their thoughts and ideas are spread throughout the world as they are implemented by the NTM students in many countries. The Lord is truly using them to give missionaries the tools they need to take the gospel to the ends of the earth.”

This should encourage us to continue serving the Lord in the work that He has given us.
In January we received information that we needed to pay almost two thousand dollars to start the process of our permanent visas (Green Cards). We were praying for that and by His Mercy the Lord provided all the money. We sent to the Immigration Office all the papers and documents that were needed. Please, be praying that we can have a favorable answer from them.

Also pray for our family, especially for Oseias (19), our son who is in College. This is his first year, pray for his adjusting.

Ozilia is still working in Florida. She is enjoying the work and the environment. Pray also that she can find a job of teaching.

Joice has been accepted at College of the Ozarks for next year.

We want to thank you for being part of our lives and ministry. May the Lord continue blessing each one of you with the joy for working for Him.

In His love,

Claudio and Edna Berto
