Dear family and friends,
For the past several months we have been going through a time of growth as we search the scriptures, pray, read Christian books, listen to sermon podcasts, and talk with pastors and friends about what God may have in store for us. This lead to us starting the application process for New Tribes Mission (NTM), a ministry dedicated to reaching remote and unreached people groups. For more information: www.ntm.org
If accepted, and as God leads, Kristi and I will go through a four-year training process. During the first 2 years we will work on an Associate Degree in Biblical Studies through New Tribes Bible Institute (NTBI), and in the second 2 years we will earn a Bachelors Degree in Intercultural Ministry at the Missionary Training Center (MTC). This training will equip us to be part of a team that is prepared to meet the challenges in planting churches among unreached tribal people in remote locations.
This has been a very difficult road for us so far. We know the implications are far reaching. That’s why we are telling those closest to us about our developing plans so that you can pray and process with us. If God continues to lead us in this way, we will not be the only ones sacrificing. The reality of distance and time will require some of you to go through a process of letting us go.
Please pray for us as we seek the Lord in this. Pray that our desires would line up with His, and that we will accurately discern His leading. Even in the midst of this time of growth we are so full of faults. We underestimate God, we are fearful when we should be courageous, we are impatient when we should be trusting, and we are sinful when we should be holy. Thank God for His mercy and grace through Christ Jesus!
With love,
Mike and Kristi Day
