New state, new prayer card

Here is the (long over due) new prayer card, finally including Hudson.  We have printed plenty of these to pass out this summer during our 2nd annual summer tour of Texas, but feel free to print one yourself if you like.  As I hope we have faithfully communicated, we cherish your prayers as we continue down this path.

Here is what we know of our schedule so far:

First half of June - Denton/Frisco

Second half of June - Clyde

July - College Station

August 7th - Depart for MTC

A Meaningful Weekend

The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are worth considering daily.  This week of Easter, when these events are often given more focus, I have spent some time reflecting on the crucifixion and resurrection of our incredible savior.  I thought I would share with you what I hope will be helpful in your own reflection of the Easter story.

There are many things that are important to take into consideration that I would love to spend more time on, but I’ll try to keep it succinct.

Winding Down

Niagara Falls view from Canada

Well, the end of our senior semester here at NTBI is quickly approaching! Classes are busy and will continue to be right up until they end in mid-May. Jim and I are working on getting our applications completed for the next phase of training, the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Missouri. We plan to get started at the MTC this coming August after spending the Summer in Texas.

Last week was our Spring Break, so we drove with the Riepma, Martinez, and Weichert families out to Niagara Falls and had a great time together.

While we were there, Hudson had his first birthday! We got back about the same time that Hudson’s Grandad and Keeb arrived from Texas, and we had a wonderful weekend with them. Since they left yesterday morning, Hudson has been missing his playmates!

Exciting Akolet Update!

Some of you may already receive the updates from Adam and Julie Martin who are in the Akolet tribe of PNG. They and their partners, the Warners, are a couple of weeks away from finishing a three-month teaching about the message of the Bible, and already Akolets are putting the final pieces together and becoming believers! Here is this week's INCREDIBLE update from the Martins:

The Gospel

Instead of classes today at NTBI, we has some men and women come up from MTC in Missouri to give us a preview of what to expect during the next phase of our training.  Needless to say, Rachel and I are really excited to continue on in the training and to begin to tackle some of the challenging tasks ahead of us.
The last speaker today used the following video in his presentation.  It blessed me to see the gospel so clearly (and poetically)  portrayed.  Enjoy!
