David at his desk at the NTM Home Office.
David and the communications team have been working for several months to make changes to the myMinistry blogs powered by WordPress.
Some of those changes involve adding new features like being about to make a blog post and have it make a Facebook post at the same time.
This migration is happening today, and this post is a test of the Wordbooker plugin that makes posting on Facebook at the same time possible. If you see this feel free to comment and pray for our team.

The first day of teaching among the North Wahgi people of Papua New Guinea.
On Monday the North Wahgi people of Papua New Guinea began hearing the Firm Foundations teaching from Creation to Christ. Our co-workers among the North Wahgi, Levi and Robyn Lenz, write, “… we saw God answer prayers in many ways.

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.
Expression Engine to Site Stacker
Posted by David Abbott on Monday, August 29th, 2011
David wants the website to help more people get involved in planting churches among unreached people groups.
Just five months after releasing the new website for New Tribes Mission USA our communications team has decided to abandon the Expression Engine platform it is built on and move to Site Stacker.
Two major factors have led us to this decision. The first and most significant is that the Communications team no longer has a web programmer on our team.

Here’s something most Seminaries and Bible Colleges don’t teach but probably should, how to repair your own appliances. One missionary training course does incorporate physical work and practical skills — New Tribes Mission. It is called “campus ministry.”
Kristia teaching ladies

Kristia with Diana
I’ve been meeting with Janet for about three months now. At first we were covering one lesson each week. We’ve begun doing more lessons now because Janet has been so interested in moving ahead.
There are things that she has never heard before, like the fact that we are born separated from God and that we are not “all God’s children”.
Leading a person to Christ biblically
Posted by David Abbott on Thursday, June 23rd, 2011Paul Washer makes some though-provoking and unpopular statements about traditional methods of evangelism vs. biblical evangelism. You don’t want to listen to this unless you are really open to an honest evaluation of how you present the Gospel.
