NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

Oh, no! I didn’t mean to splash all over you! So sorry! I just wanted to drop in and give you a little family and ministry update. I didn’t realize you’d be by the pool. Hope your book dries out okay. But at least now I can’t say I haven’t been swimming this summer!

Traveling? Yep. Us too. We just got back from our home church in Pennsylvania last week. What a special time of teaching VBS! We got to be in the “Application Room” and had the privilege of giving the Gospel every night and helping kids come to know the Lord. Awesome!

College? Yep. That too. We’ll be saying good-bye to Tyler in another week as he heads up to New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where Shane attended. I’ve been saving up all my tears for that day, otherwise, I’ll dehydrate. Jenna and I are wondering how we’re going to survive without him.

Writing? Yep. Absolutely. My two little bits of earthshaking news is that I just got a Facebook AND posted on our blog site. My excitement becomes understandable when you see that the last date we posted anything was September 2009 (I just now posted the other stories I’ve written since then). But those days are gone forever! I love Facebook! It actually provides a place to be funny! But also, a place to link to the more thought-provoking subjects posted on our blog. Best of both worlds. I’m excited for all the new communication possibilities.

Visit me on Facebook! If you knew all your friends were going to meet at Panera Bread, would you sit all by yourself at Starbucks? Probably not. That’s why I got a Facebook. I’ll have a cheese danish please!

Read my latest article on our blog “Would I Never Learn?”  “I stumbled into the living room that morning, groggy and guilty. We had stayed up way too late again – and the messy room proved it …”

Also, enjoy my latest Tribal Beat story “I Want to Be Free!”  “Hours before dawn, the tortured Baniua chief stood at the river’s edge, trembling. The battle for his soul raged on in his heart. He had to make it stop …”

Our next email will be from Rand, catching you up on his important ministry of getting tribal software into the hands of tribal missionaries!

To those of you who support our family and ministry in one awesome way or another, thank-you so much!

We love you dearly!

Love, Rand and Debbie
