Tom and Becky Young Using technology to connect YOU with churchplants among unreached people groups 
Here’s a picture of contrasts. “Why?”, you may ask? Well, take a good, hard look at the shirts worn by subjects in the photo. To the left (me), wearing my MIZZOU (Univ. of Missouri) shirt, next to me (Cole) is wearing his Univ. of Nebraska Cornhuskers shirt, and next to him, Brenna (his fiancee) is wearing her much-loved Kansas Jayhawk shirt (Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk!). If you know anything about college sports, particularly the Big 12, you know that this picture represents arguably the strongest rivalries in that conference (at least those of you who remember the old Big Eight). On its surface, this does not have the makings of a love-in.
But let me give you a different slant on this: Cole and Brenna recently came down to Sanford during their Spring Break from college, in their senior years, to see if God might want them to serve with New Tribes after they wed this June. They want to serve the Lord in their specific skill sets: Cole, a Business/Computer Science major can be a big asset to our programming team on a couple of web-based initiatives; Brenna, a Journalism major, would be a huge addition to the writing staff in our Communications Dept. Both of them are involved in their respective Navigator chapters on campus, and have been challenged to serve missions as they can. What better way than to use the talents that God has given them?
Well, I’m happy to say we have welcomed them to join us for the upcoming year. And, no, I don’t see rivals- I see comrades, co-workers, fellow bond-servants in Christ, desiring to put on the harness of service and do what they can to further the Kingdom.
Enemies? Never. Beloved? Always.
