Training Week

Hello!
This is the New Testament Church Pioneer Northeast Traveling team for 2009! We are excited to have the opportunity to serve the Lord by encouraging pastors and helping local churches in the Northeastern region of the United States.
For the last week, we have been preparing for our trip. It's been a wonderful learning experience as we've covered a broad range of things; anything from vehicle maintenance, to conducting a Bible club, to pitching a tent and starting a camp fire.
More than just a learning experience though, it's been a time for each of the teams to draw together in a spirit of brotherhood. No one will be traveling alone by themselves this summer, as every team will be lifting the others up in prayer.
God has blessed us so much in the last few days. We have seen need after need met, prayers answered, and have had the opportunity to spread the Gospel all around the Knoxville area. It's amazing to see how God has moved so far, and we are excited to see what He has in store for this summer.
We leave you now with a challenge. God has given each and every Christian a command and that is what the New Testament Church Pioneer program is built upon. It says in the first part of Matthew 28:19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..." This is our goal this summer. Please pray that God would go with not only us this summer, but with every pioneer team and that He would perform a mighty work through us.

Your brothers in Christ,
-Matt and Joel
