GET YA NEWS! GET YA NEWS FOLKS! THE GEORGE FAMILY FINALLY ARRIVES AT NEW TRIBES! Four years plus prior to this week God began to finally narrow our vision and calling for foreign missions. For me, I was hit like sack of hammers after returning home from my first over seas mission trip to El Salvador. I remember walking through the door of my parents house and my dad greeting me there and saying this..."Well, you glad to back in the States?" All at once this epiphany came over me (as if epiphanies happen any other way.) "No, not really dad. I miss being over there." Before you think I'm patriotically waving the colors of any country, please let me clarify. While I'm most certainly proud to call the U.S. my home and feel blessed to have had the religious freedoms that we do I simply missed being out of the environment of foreign missions. My trip to El Salvador was the first time I had ever been to a place that didn't seem to have a church on ever street corner, or find people who had no previous exposure to the Gospel message. Coming home, I was simply left with a hunger to be a part of that work.
Over the course of our engagement and marriage, God began honing our heart's desires in. Little by little, then, by leaps and bounds. The idea of people around the globe without any access to the saving power of the Gospel message became a burden to say the very least. The thought of thousands of people groups without a single word of the Bible in a language they could understand became an excruciating thought. Via my wife and the World Wide Web we were exposed to the work of New Tribes Missions and today, here we are in Roach, MO four days away from our first training class to prepare us to take Jesus to those who have never heard before.
May God give long life to those people around the globe who are waiting to here of His love for them.
