I just love PBnJ

I don't know about your family but we grew up loving PBnJ. It was our go to food when mom didn't want to cook. Well, I now have a reason to really love PBnJ!

On Dec. 1 we welcomed out 4th grandchild, Jack Peter, into the world. He has 2 brothers and a sister, Parker, Blake and Natalie. If you put the first letter of their names together you get...PBnJ!

Mom, baby and children are doing fine but Peter says he is not getting enough sleep at night! :)

Last week we finished another new missionary training. There were 22 new missionaries going to 11 countries around the world.

We are so blessed to be a part of their life and love hearing how God has called them to serve Him.

Each story is one of hearing the call and then learning how to trust God as they depend on Him to send them out.

This is from the decorations of our church in Kerrville, Texas. It says it all!
May Christ's sacrifice fill your hearts
with an overwhelming sense of His great love for you
in this holy season.
Merry Christmas to our dear family and friends!

 

Where they go...

Where they go, we will follow...
        
That is kind of our motto in the Pastoral Care Department at CTEN. Our purpose here at CTEN is to support the vision God has given to the individual missionary to go into all the world.
So, wherever God leads them we follow along to support, love and serve those who are in the front lines. CTEN does not have 'projects' of its own but sees God at work in the individual missionaries lives and helps them find a partner in the field that they can connect with to learn and serve.
New missionaries spend about two years serving alongside seasoned missionaries.They may then choose to go out on their own to work in another part of the country.
This June orientation we had 4 new missionary families. Two of them will head to Zambia, one to Kenya and the last is from Uganda now living in the US but doing evangelism in Africa and Europe.
 

If you want to hear more about our pastoral work at CTEN and the missionaries we serve we would love to visit with you either by phone, Skype over a cup of coffee or a meal...
...we are coming to Maine on August 8 and would love to catch up personally with you!
