Tim & Brenda

Meet Tim & Brenda

We are part of a church-planting team. We desire to see a mature church established among the "M" people, who currently have no access to the gospel in their language. Our focus during our current stage of ministry is on becoming effective communicators and teachers - learning the language and culture to the point of adult-level fluency so that we can share the truth clearly and powerfully!

If you are interested in receiving updates and/or giving information, please email GO@ncbc.church and we will ensure your message is sent to your specified partner(s). 

Prayer Requests

*Pray that now that the visa process has started it will go smoothly and we will get all our papers in order in good time.
*Pray for our upcoming travels back to the village. It’s a long multi-day journey with things to do along the way. Pray especially for the boys to handle it well and for us to handle them well!
*Pray for our transition back into normal life at home once we get to the village. Pray especially for Jimmy as he starts to interact again with the local kids. When we left over a year ago, he wasn’t really speaking yet so the language barrier wasn’t a big issue for him. Now that he’s gotten used to playing and talking with other kids in English, we’re curious to see how he’ll handle being thrown back into a completely non-English social setting. Pray that God will give him patience and a real desire to want to learn how to communicate with the local kids. And pray that God will provide one or two local kids to take him under their wing and include him in their play.
*There’s a specialized lab test that Jimmy may need periodically. We thought we had found it in the capital here but it turned out that the lab techs misunderstood and ran the wrong test, and we’re still unclear about whether they actually have ability to run the test we’re looking for. Things aren’t computerized over here, so we can’t just run an internet search to see if anyone has it. We rely heavily on word of mouth and have to do lots of checking around. Pray that if this test is available anywhere in the country we will somehow get connected with whatever lab might be able to do it. It would be so nice if we don’t have to travel internationally every time he needs it.
