Anonymous asked: how much has new tribes bible institute impacted your life?

New Tribes Bible Institute has impacted my life tremendously! The 2 years being enrolled were the most impactful time of my life. It has changed everything for me. The combination of being immersed in God’s living Word, being in a community brothers and sisters who also are, being challenged by those brothers and sisters, and being taught through the Bible chronologically and foundationally by teachers who are devoted to your spiritual growth and maturity are the ingredients that made it so impactful.

Wow! So it has been 2 days being back with my family in Washington and 4 days being graduated from New Tribes Bible Institute. Crazy! Two years have seriously just flown by! Thank you so much for all your prayer and support through these past two years! i appreciate it so much and saw the results of your prayers over and over while there.

I can honestly say I would not have wanted to be anywhere else for the last two years. It was so beneficial to be immersed in God’s word for two whole years and so rewarding to gain a biblical foundation to base my future decisions. I definitely have not “arrived” though in the sense that I haven’t gained all the knowledge I could from studying the Bible or that I am not perfectly Christ-like. I know. Profound conclusion right. One of the many I have learned through studying the Word. Growth and maturity takes time and energy like any other thing does. Time especially!

There are some opportunities and some big decisions coming up that include my family and where they might be living in a couple months. I am currently looking for the best opportunity for a job and possibly moving over seas to do then because it could be the best possibility. Please be praying through these decisions that I would choose the best possible way to raise money for the next phase of training with New Tribes Mission.

Thank you again for all your prayer and support!

So I am just heading to bed from a long day of school, dentist, sewing, and entertaining. Today at school we had what is called a special emphasis day where we usually have a couple of speakers who talk on a subject, but we just had some of our teachers speak. In between, we had a snack break with some coffee and pastries and apples. Considering i have new teeth and all, I decided to eat an apple without cutting it to test my new pearly whites out. Turned out to be a very bad idea. One of my new teeth cracked in half as I was just finishing the apple. It almost brought me to tears, not because it hurt but because of the process it had taken to get to that point. As Jamie and I sat and contemplated on what to do, I called my dentist that had been taking care of my implant and crowns but she was not answering. Jamie then remembered something the last appointment I had about her going to Brazil to see some family. I was at this point getting a little edgy and frustrated and just decided to go to the nearest dentist that took good care of NTBI students. I went in and told my story to the lady at the front desk that I had seen a couple times before in prior visits. She then said, “okay, hold on one second and I’ll tell Dr. Jaquery” (this is the dentist that was taking care of me that we thought was in Brazil) “you are here.” Relief! She was actually leaving for Brazil later in the afternoon and she got me in and out with my fixed tooth within two hours. Thank You God!

Later today we had an open dorm night where we decorated our dorms to movie themes and show them off for a couple of hours. Our dorm chose Hook and I was chosen to be the one and only Peter Pan. Yesterday I had picked up some on sale green felt that I was going to try to make into a costume along with some green tights I had got, because you can’t be Pan without green tights. I was extremely rushed for time because I had gotten back from the dentist at 1:30 and had work in the kitchen here at school at 3:00 until 6:00 and the open dorm night started at 7:00. But I was determined. From 1:30 till 2:00 I was getting pattern ideas and inspiration off google. From 2:00 till 3:00 I had cut out the pattern and was ready to sew it together. And from 6:00 till 7:00 I sewed up my Pan shirt and hat and was ready to “Bangarang!”.

Weeeehhhhwwww. It was all worth it in the end for some laughs, food, and fellowship with my fellow classmates.
