Dear
Friends and Family,
Greetings in the precious Name
of Jesus as we write to you, commemorating once again the
Resurrection of our Savior. We are so thankful for what Jesus
did for each of us and for the entire world, in dying and
shedding His blood to pay the debt of sin in our place on the
Cross of Calvary. Then He rose again and lives forevermore in
Heaven, sitting at the right hand of God. We have much to be
thankful for, as well as having a wonderful message to tell to
the nations of this world.
Lately, we have been hearing of
several tribal groups receiving the Word of God in their
language for the first time—Indonesia, the Philippines, and
Papua New Guinea, to name a few. It is a great day when they
have God’s Word in their own language. At times, these New
Testaments are printed in their own country, as this is less
expensive than printing it overseas. Many more translations are
in the works, and so many of these translators and missionaries
working in these tribes are people we know, with whom we also
went through the NTM training years ago. How we praise the Lord
for His faithfulness, and the verse that reminds us that, “He
is not willing that any should perish”
2 Peter 3:9.
We want to thank you for your
faithful prayers for us, and gifts to us in support of our
ministry. We continually thank the Lord for how He has been so
faithful, and used you in this ministry of reaching lost tribal
people, as well as people all over, who need to come to know the
Lord as Savior. We are truly grateful.

At this time, we are both
keeping healthy, for which we praise he Lord. However, our son,
Jeffrey, has had a very bad case of the “flu” which has gone
into an Upper Respiratory Infection. He has been home from work
for an entire week now. Thank you for praying for us too.
The Medical Plan Office is like
a busy beehive! The new PPO Network that we told you about in
one of our recent prayer letters is working well, but we’ve had
trouble with getting Explanations of Benefits to our
missionaries. We are now sending them paper copies, as the
downloading of the claims information is still being worked on.
We do look forward to the time when they can download their own
claims and Medical Plan information directly from the Internet,
if they have Internet access, from anywhere in the world—even
in remote tribal areas! Thank you for praying for all of these
facets of our work. Our new co-worker is still learning, and we
continue to be thankful for him coming to our office. The 2008
Policy is finished, and the next step is to upload it on the New
Tribes Mission website for our members. We appreciate each of
you who pray for this ministry.
Thank you again for your
partnership in this ministry. Trusting you have a great day
every day, knowing we serve a Risen Savior!
