NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

Rachel Austin and I are engaged!  Rachel is also a New Tribes Member whom I met in Pennsylvania at the third year of New Tribes Mission training.

We "hit it off" right away when we realized we both love to play tennis.  This became our common interest and an excellent, constructive excuse to hang out together.

We got to know each other well the next year and began dating in Missouri, at the fourth year of NTM training.

I am thrilled and blessed to know Rachel and I am excited to join forces with her and take the Gospel to Brazil to a tribe that has never heard!

Two and a half weeks and 5000-6000 miles later I am back in Michigan.  It has been a wonderful vacation/deputation trip and the time with friends and family has been unbelieveable. 

My time in Tennessee was excellent as I was able to share at Grace Babtist Church in Dickson.  This church generously supported me on this past survey trip to Brazil.  What a blessing it was to say thank you and rekindle relationships with the universal Church.  It was a wonderful time and a blessing to again be with those people.

We then moved on to Pensacola where my brother, Anthony graduated.  It was a great time to see him again and encourage him on in this selfless cause. 

I got in contact with another Brazil Contact and then headed down to see my grandparents.  It was very special to see them again and spend time with them.  Grandparents are very important and it was great to see them again.

My plans are still moving forward toward Brazil in January of 2008.  I am at around 12% support right now so things are moving right along.  I have some work to do but God is the one that provides the funds and support necessary to reach the lost. 

Thanks for your interest, God Bless
