Bara and I met a few years ago when the Yagaria Bible translation was being dedicated. He subscribes to NTM email lists and is a friend of New Tribes Mission on Facebook. Since then we have communicated through email and a few brief telephone calls. Bara and his family made a special effort to see Katrina when she was in Papua New Guinea for the Interface college-level missions course.
Thankful for a dentist
Posted by David Abbott on Monday, January 23rd, 2012
I’ve been putting off a trip to the dentist for at least two years. Every time I’d bite on something hard on my right side I’d go through the roof.
We really didn’t have the money before, but God provided it through our generous ministry partners last month.
Praise God for good dental care and His provision to pay for it after the long wait!

Savannah is very gifted in many areas like science and art. In some other subjects she is very inconsistent.
Her teachers would like to have a better idea what might be causing the inconsistent performance.

A really hard time
Posted by David Abbott on Sunday, November 6th, 2011
Katrina and a friend from Florida who is also an NTBI student
The last few weeks have been a really dry time of learning for me. I sit in classes and want to learn and understand what the teachers are saying, but it seems no matter how hard I try and concentrate nothing is going in. I have been reading on my own in the mornings and as I read I see the truth of God’s Word, but thinking deeply about what its saying is hard to do.
Discipleship is Multiplying
Posted by David Abbott on Sunday, September 25th, 2011
Over the last three years David has been teaching Firm Foundations: Creation to Christ in several different venues. Kristia has also been teaching a few ladies one-on-one.
Because we understand that Jesus has called us to make disciples and not simply get people to “make decisions,” it is important to us that those we disciple not only come to biblical faith, but become obedient to start making disciples themselves.
Katrina’s third semester at New Tribes Bible Institute
Posted by David Abbott on Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
Katrina is a Junior at New Tribes Bible Institute.
We have been going through some amazing classes at New Tribes Bible Institute this semester. I have gotten to take 2 Corinthians, Romans, Missions in Church History, James and Angelology.
Right now in Romans class we are going through verse by verse and learning about man’s desperate need for God, about how God provided the only way for man to be cleansed, and about our new life in Christ- our justification, sanctification and glorification.
Summer break almost over
Posted by David Abbott on Sunday, July 31st, 2011
Katrina and Caleb on a family hike in North Carolina.
When it was time to leave New Tribes Bible Institute and come back home for summer break I was really struggling with leaving friends, leaving classes and fearing that I would loose my desire to study God’s Word and that my relationship with God would fall apart.
