David and Kristia Abbott providing tools that help missionaries succeed Our Great High Priest
Katrina is preparing to move home for a year.
For the last few weeks I’ve been studying Hebrews. I’ve been amazed to see how many areas Hebrews dives into. It starts out by telling us who Jesus was; not merely a man as some would like to believe, and not lower than angels as others would think, but higher and even separate from angels. Jesus is the very Son of God!
David discharged
David catching up on work he couldn't do from his hospital bed.
Praise God that David was able to be discharged from the hospital Tuesday afternoon. His longest walk since Friday was done in the grocery store on the way home waiting for his prescription to be filled.
Hospital by ambulance
The paramedics picked David up off the floor because he was too weak and nauseated to move. He had gotten up at 4:45 am Saturday morning with the intention of going kayak fishing before the forecast winds came up.
One Way Ticket
I was looking though tickets for my trip home for the summer when I realized I no longer needed to click on “round trip tickets”. I’ve been praying about whether to go home next year for a while, but the realization of what the decision meant didn’t sink in till I was looking for tickets.

Why New Tribes Mission?
David at his workstation in the Communications department.
While many mission organizations pay a comfortable salary for a home office positions, New Tribes Mission requires those serving at the home office and at missionary training facilities to raise financial support the same as co-workers assigned overseas.
Why would someone choose to serve with New Tribes Mission and raise support when they could do the same job for another organization and receive a salary?

NTM Aviation at Sun n Fun
David has been representing NTM Aviation this week at the Sun ‘n Fun airshow in Lakeland, FL.
It has been a tough health week for him with only three hours of sleep the night before he left. The second day he awoke after only five hours sleep with a headache and vomiting.
The third day he only got three hours sleep before waking with a migraine.
Please pray that God would raise up the needed pilots, mechanics, avionics technicians and sponsors to provide flight service for missions.
David and Kristia served with NTM Aviation for eight years in Arizona and the Philippines before joining the home office Communications team.

Salaried or supported?
Have you ever wondered how some missions have the funds to salary support positions while each person serving with New Tribes Mission is sent by churches and individuals?

Facing the future without fear
Romans 8:38,39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Video: The Dinangat Journey from Religion to Relationship
New Tribes missionaries are not religion merchants. They are carefully trained to thoroughly learn the culture and language before presenting biblical truth. When biblical truth is presented, it is done carefully using the chronological Bible teaching process, available to Westerners in the form of Firm Foundations.
