Jeffrey and Nicole Porter Using Technology To Reach The Lost Body of Christ at NTBI
The verse above is such a great reminder to us as we serve in support roles here at New Tribes Bible institute in Waukesha, WI. First you start off with 200 people living in and around a 100+ year old building and the challenges start to mount. Can the faculty members who teach the word every day worry about repairing the laundry mat on campus? Can the ladies serving in childcare, like NICKY, worry about if the noon meal is going to be ready to serve 250 people? Can JEFF , serving as the IT Director, worry about the card catalog system and all the books in the campus library. NO, NO, AND NO !
That’s because this school is run by FAITH and by FAITHFUL missionaries who serve day after day with their gifts and talents. Working as the body of Christ, to teach and model our 80 graduates (see picture on the right) so they can in turn go out and Preach the Gospel to those who have never heard and encourage those TRIBAL believers to be the BODY OF CHRIST!
Brit Graduating 10 Years flown by!!
CAN YOU BELIEVE
its been 10 years since we felt the Lord leading us into full time missions! We remember like it was yesterday. Telling our families; selling our house; and being commissioned by our sending church.
When we arrived at NTBI Waukesha to live in our tiny apartment with no bathroom, no running water; we knew things were going to be “different”. Brittany was getting ready for 3rd grade at Hilltop Christian Academy right here on campus. It didn’t take long for any of us to settle in. Thank the Lord for that!
FAST FORWARD…
Living in Indonesia for 6 months; Missouri for 10 months; and finally settling back into our full time ministries right here at NTBI Waukesha where it all began. We praise the Lord for this “chapter” in our life and thank Him for all the wonderful memories that we have had here. We capped it all off two weeks ago with a great graduation ceremony and party with our friends and family!
Brittany will be attending the University of Wisconsin, Waukesha Campus in the fall. She is involved in the college ministry group at our church; where she also volunteers at the Mission Cafe on Sundays. Brit also works at Cousins Subs.
This summer Nicky and I are enjoying the slow down from our computer and child care ministries. The school year is crazy from Sept to May so the summer months are a nice way to recoup and refresh. For some reason though with computers and technology there is always something to do 
Thanks to ALL of you who have prayed for, encouraged, and given financially to our ministry over the years, we look forward to partnering with you all for
the next 10 years!
Love Jeff Nicky and Brittany
