Fall 2010 – Commencement – Beautiful Feet

Posted by claudio_berto on Thursday, December 9th, 2010

MTC-Grad-fall-2010-2st-originalAt the Fall Commencement 90  Beautiful Feet prepared for “bringing good news, proclaiming peace, bringing good tidings and proclaiming salvation” (Isaiah 52:7) to people groups around the world who do not know Christ. What a joy to see another 45 young people graduate from the Missionary Training Center for the purpose of giving their lives for the message of the Gospel.  Even though their formal training has come to an end they will continue to be trained practically as they trust God to raise needed financial support and then head to field where they will learn to adjust to a whole new way of life.

We praise the Lord for each life that He brought here for training and though they were here for only a short time, each one will be missed.  We look forward to hearing how God is using them in the next several years.  It is exciting to think of more people groups having the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel through these young people!

In partnership with you at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) Serving in Missouri, we have seen clearly God’s Hands working on the students preparing and shaping them for the ministry that God has among the Nations that never heard about our Lord Jesus.

Your partnership with us at the Missionary Training Center, trough prayers  is changing people, in fact, your partnership is TRANSFORMING LIVES!

Thank you for your prayers and support this year! God is using you to help train the next generation of cross-cultural church planters world-wide.

What will happen to me when I die?

“I’m very worried.”  The aging tribesman furrowed his brow and slowly shook his head from side to side.  He was a proud member of the Ngaing people.   But right now he was envious of his neighbors, the Mibu.   He had heard that the Word of God had come to the Mibu, and he thought about visiting them so he could learn what God wanted him to know.  But he understood only a few words of their language.

“Some day, someone may bring this message to my people so we too can understand.”

“But,” he wondered, “what if I die before then?  What will happen to me?”

The answer for him is still out of reach!

What will happen to him – and millions of other unreached people like him?

More than 100 people groups have asked NTM for help.   They have a desperate desire to learn the message of God’s Word.

“Please!  Send a team to live among us…to learn our ways and our language.   To bring us the message of God and help us understand!”

Their hearts cry out for help.

I want you to know how grateful I am for the role you are playing in sharing God’s greatest Gift and transforming so many lives in some of the most difficult areas on earth.

Your encouragement in prayer and financial support is like a shot of B-12 to us as we train missionaries who will work in remote tribes where lost, hurting and needy people will soon discover Jesus!

You have an opportunity to meet the urgent demand for new missionary teams to reach millions of men, women and children who desperately need the hope of Jesus Christ.

If you are not a part of our team yet, here’s what I’m hoping you will consider:

  • Join the “NTM team“.    Maybe God is leading you into missionary service for Him.   Maybe you just need to take the next step.    The time to act is now.    We must continue to train more eager missionary candidates for service.

  • Join our “prayer team“.   I want to invite you to pray for us.  Send us a message and we’ll add you to our prayer update list.   Together, we’re asking God to work in miraculous ways.  I’m asking you to consider sharing this ministry of training more missionaries among your family, your friends and your church family as well during this Christmas season.   The more people who are aware, the more there will be prayer!

  • Join our  ”give team.”   You can make a profound difference in the lives of unreached people groups.  Maybe you would like to partner with us on a monthly basis.  Or  you may have a habit of giving year-end gifts to favorite causes.   Let me ask you to consider making this ministry one of your Christmas or year-end gifts for 2009.

You joining our team in any capacity doesn’t simply help our family’s ministry.  Rather you are making it possible to train missionary candidates who are eager to complete their preparation for field assignment.

They will be able to effectively adapt to remote and different cultures and languages.

This will allow them to befriend and work among unreached peoples…

…which will permit those peoples to learn and understand the powerful, transforming message of God’s love and forgiveness…

…and will answer their heartfelt cry, “What will happen to me when I die?”

Thank you, in advance, for joining us as, Edna and I seek to help impact the lives of so many who still utter that question, not knowing that God’s Word provides the answer.
