In His Steps: August Update-Roofing For Jesus!

Roofing For Jesus!

Hey! Sorry, its been so long since we've last updated our website. We have been so busy these last few weeks and havn't been able to update you with all God is doing!

We are thrilled and extremely humbled to see God's people partnering with us through the many prayers, physical labor and financial gifts we have received. It has been amazing to see not only our faith continue to grow, but the faith of those who give, and also the speechlessness of those who witness just how faithful our God really is.

The roofing project, on our house back home, was such a blessing from the Lord!
Aaron's grandparents generously loaned us enough funds to buy all the supplies needed to reroof the house.
God then supplied all the laborers. On Friday, a good friend of ours on staff here at NTBI (Steve Cretsinger), drove down to Toledo and was ready to work by 6:30AM. After a long day of hard work and sweat another good friend of ours, from our home church (Tim Alley), came to help and was such an encouragement. The following morning God brought an astonishing 16 men to our house to finish the project. With a ton of hard work and sweat the roof was completely done by 4:00PM! Talk about humbling someone...we've needed to get that roof done for eight years and God did it in one afternoon. It was so neat to see that God's timing was not then but now.

We want to say a special thank you to Phil Beemer, from our church here in Jackson, for taking our prayer request

st to the church body and spearheading the project. Thank you for all your hard work in organizing the group of men to come

down.
We also want to thank Joe Groholske for donating nearly half of the shingles needed for the roof.
Also a special thanks to our good friend Bill Davenport, from our home church, for all his help in organizing the group of guys to come and help.
Thank you to Living Hope Church for helping to provide food for the guys.
Thank you to those of you who couldn't make it but were lifting us up in prayer.
Thank you to the many wives and children who sacrificed "time" with their husbands and fathers that day.

The project was a great testimony of teamwork!
We are so delighted that each and everyone of you are willing to do your part in
reaching the lost with Jesus Christ.

Why Tribal Missions?

So why are we willing to go and live in the middle of nowhere for years, far removed from our families, even from civilization?

Because we’re convinced that God desires every people group on earth to have the opportunity to know Him. He has provided one way for that to happen: by believing that His Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross to pay the penalty of our sins. Nothing apart from that makes us acceptable to God. We know that without someone like us going to these remote people groups, the message of Christ’s death will never be heard.

Matthew 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit , teaching them to observe all that I commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Romans 10:14 "How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”

We desire to be a part of the NTM tribal church planting endeavor there. Incredibly, Papua New Guinea has a total of over 850 languages. Of those languages, 700 have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and 500 of those languages don’t even have a chance to hear because they lack the Word of God in their own mother tongue. We hope by God’s grace, to take part in planting an indigenous church among one of PNG’s isolated tribes.

We strongly believe that God’s desire is for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. We hope to be used of God to make Him known in Papua New Guinea.
