“Now thanks be unto God, who always causeth us to triumph in
Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of His knowledge by us in
every place.”
2 Corinthians 2:14
July 2009
Dear Family and
Friends,
Thank you for
your support of our ministry through New Tribes Mission. It is
indeed a privilege to be involved in taking the Gospel of the
Lord Jesus Christ to the world for a witness unto all nations.
Jesus “has redeemed us to God by His blood out of every kindred,
and tongue, and people, and nation.” (Rev. 5:9,10) It is always
an encouragement to hear fellow Christians share about the Lord,
so we thought that we would include some recent testimonies from
new believers in tribal locations around the world:

Guinea, W. Africa, Mixe Fore tribe ‒
testimony of Bangura:
“God
brought you to me to teach me the Word of God; I didn't
go looking for it. If someone is involved in anything
else other than Jesus, they should follow Jesus. They
should put their trust in Him. He is God's Son.”
Papua New Guinea, Yagaria tribe ‒
testimony of Lydia:
“I
used to fear death so much. Now I think, Wow! When I
die, I'll be with the Lord in His wonderful place!”
Senegal, W. Africa, Manjack tribe ‒
testimony of Ibrahima:
“I
decided to trust Jesus as my Savior, and immediately I
felt like an invisible burden had been lifted.” |

We are facing
some very challenging times with the service that has been
provided by UnitedHealthcare International through another
company with whom we have a special agreement in order to get
the best discounts. It has been very disappointing to see all
of the mistakes and incorrect work done by UHI. Because of
this, we are once again facing some very big decisions in the
next few weeks and months. It is not our wish to change
networks again. If we have to change it will require
re-education on every side. It is a painstaking process and
requires adjustments, not only for our office, but for all of
our missionaries. Without the Lord we could be very
discouraged. We intend “to triumph in Christ” just as
the verse at the beginning of this letter says. So again, thank
you for praying for a miracle in all of this! Our Lord is able.
We thought that
Sarah, her husband, David, and our grandchildren, would be
coming to Florida in June. Instead, Sarah informed us that she
was taking a full-time job and that they weren’t coming after
all. We were truly disappointed. We can’t see our way clear to
make a trip to west Texas. The Battles actually live a little
further than going all the way up to northern Wisconsin to see
Mom and Dad Hansen! We miss seeing Kayla and Kennidy! Perhaps
later in the year, things will be different.
Thank you again
for your love and support shown toward us. We are ever so
thankful to the Lord for your partnership with us.

Joyfully in His service,
