“But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. ³⁸ Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” (ESV. Luke 20.37-38)

GOD IS THE GOD OF THE LIVING!

We MUST share this with the whole world. All of mankind needs to know what God has done for us through Jesus Christ His Son!

Are you remaining Kingdom minded? Remember when you first believed in Christ as your Savior? Didn’t you want to tell everyone that you came in contact with?!?

Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit writes, “God our Savior… desires all men (mankind) to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

And Jesus himself said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Mt. 28.19-20)

Let’s keep going in making disciples of all nations!

Let’s be single-minded for the sake of the Gospel!

We ARE co-laborers with Christ!

Let’s together reach those who have NEVER BEEN TOLD!

That is what our Savior wants from us!

Look around you. Where has God placed you right now? Are they people around you who have yet to be told? Are they people around you who don’t yet believe?

Can we trust that God wants them saved? If so, what are you doing to reach them?

Trust God and go for it,

tell them!

We thank God for you and what He is doing in you and through you!

Take up your cross and follow Him.

The kids have been in school for over a month now and are enjoying it as much as any kid can enjoy school, I think.

Tori graduated last June but has 3 NYS required classes to finish before Nov. 1st. She had to take English, Economics and Gym (90 gym classes!!) She finished the Economics final earlier this week and is plugging away at the other 2 classes now. Pray that she stays focused and is able to complete them by Nov. 1st.
Chloe, she is enjoying 7th grade although she will tell you that the kids in her school are “really not nice” She normally gets all of her work done at school in her study hall time, so she has no homework to do most evenings. Being a 7th grader means that she can attend youth group now, which she has also enjoyed so far this year.
Ellie, she is in 6th grade now and goes to the same school as Chloe. A few weeks ago she came home and asked “Can I join the after school Robotics club?” WHAT? AFTER school??? Really, Ellie wants to stay at school longer? (that’s what I had to ask myself!) So she is now part of the robotics club… they use Legos to build robots in order to work out a set of scenarios. She is loving it!!! The teacher just added another half hour on to the class… Ellie is excited about that.
Derek is in 2nd grade and came home a few days ago and asked “dad, do I have $15?” “Why?” I said. “because I want to buy my friend a watch like mine. He really likes it.” “Sorry, buddy, you don’t have $15 but we can see if they are on sale next time we go to Target.” Well, we went to Target after his birthday party on Sunday and he used his birthday money to buy his friend a watch just like his.
The things children do can be trying, encouraging and challenging all at the same time. But thank God for them!

Becki and I have been asking God about what He wants us to do as we push forward in our desire to serve at the New Tribes Bible Institute (www.ntbi.org). We are looking for people and places to share our ministry with and for those who would be willing to join our ministry team, through prayer and/or financial support.

We have to be on site at the Bible Institute on Jan. 1, 2012! Which means we have ONLY 12 weeks left in which to raise the rest of our much needed support!
Please be in prayer for us in this (honestly) stressful  time.

If you would be interested in helping out financially, just click the “Support financially” link to the right —->

Thanks again,

Serving His Body to Reach the Unreached,

John and Becki

A birthday?                      An anniversary?                    Thanksgiving?

For us, when we think…

MOVING!

We, are trusting God

to raise up supporters for us to get to 70% of our needed financial support,

so that we can move to New Tribes Bible Institute in Wisconsin,

to begin our ministry.

We are greatly needed in the Deans Dept.,

where we will be

filling a gap and serving by teaching and mentoring

to aid in training up tribal church planters.
