WHERE AND WHY WE GO…

The canoe slipped through the black water threading its way toward the distant river island. Huge trees and dense vegetation lined the banks dwarfing the tiny vessel.

The only sound was an occasional splash as two men dipped their paddles in the murky water. Anticipation hung in the air as the missionaries headed for unknown territory.

As they neared the island, their strokes increased in intensity and they quickly arrived and pulled the canoe onto the white sandy beach. The men got out, flexing stiff muscles, and gazed at their surroundings. Adobe huts dotted the area; the embers of a cooking fire waned, but there were no visible signs of life. Yet the two missionaries sensed that hidden eyes were observing every move.

Suddenly several nearly naked men came toward them, speaking in a language the missionaries did not know. As the two groups stepped forward to greet each other, one of the missionaries chuckled ruefully and wondered aloud, "What in the world are we doing here?"

Sharron & I are in Sanford, FL sorting and packing our stuff after 25 years in New Tribes Mission housing. 

We’re moving out of  our apartment in the New Tribes Mission HQ and into our very first house EVER in Jonesboro, GA. 

We’ll be serving with New Tribes in the arena of Stewardship Developement, connecting with churches and individuals regarding various mission projects. 

Pray for our new ministry transition and our relocation to our first house back to our home area in Georgia.

(see pics of our apartment and move under PHOTOS)

We’ve moved back to our home area  (near Atlanta, Ga.) after 25 years in Central Florida at NTM’s home office.  

Our new ministry in the area is Stewardship Developement.  It will have us relating to churches and individuals regarding various mission projects in which they can invest.  

Pray with us to make ongoing friendships with interested folks who want pratical ways to be involved in helping to get the gospel to the unreached tribes.
