Thanksgiving

Posted by Nathan and Rachel Allen on Thursday, November 24th, 2011

This is a note we received from our leadership this week:

“Thank you for the part you play in life at NTBI. Each member of the Body serving in an area the Lord has gifted you in. The Lord only knows how all of this fits together for His glory and for eternity. I guess we are all doing what we do by faith, trusting the Lord to make something out of it.

We know He does…after all the Baga Fore are hearing, the North Wahgi are hearing, the Siar have heard…scores and scores of other tribes have churches in their villages and missionaries studying language and culture because of what the Lord has done here as well as there. May the Lord excite our hearts once again as we consider and give thanks for what He does all around us all the time.”

Now I thank you for your part in getting the gospel to the ends of the earth!

Such was the case when we began our journey of support raising many moons ago. (more…)

Unique Semester

Edited family PicFor the months of October and November, Nathan was not in the business office.  The Bible School gave him some time off to build relationships in our area in order to increase our support.  It was a profitable and enjoyable time.  The Lord provided us with many opportunities to connect with people and make connections.
