Tammy and Nate still together after 21 years!
As we reflect back on 2011, we have so much to give thanks to God for. We are thankful for our mission teammates who are currently raising funds in the States. We are thankful for our Missionary Associate, Lorrell Beaber, who is doing a fantastic work with literacy as well as filling in the gaps at the orphanage and in other areas. We are thankful for our new national church leadership who is taking the Assemblies of God in Madagascar in a good direction. We are so very thankful that our kids are doing well at school abroad; Caleb at the University of Montana in the U.S. and Becca at Rift Valley Academy in Kijabe, Kenya. We are thankful for our supporters who pray for us and have helped us so what we do. Lastly, we are so thankful to our Lord Jesus who has continued to lead us and guide us as we work here in this country.
Becca on a recent break from boarding school traveled with us to a remote church for a visit to encourage the believers.
As we close out 2011 we look forward to what promises to be a great year! We look forward to some new creative ventures in extension Bible school training that will help more lay people than ever before get the training they need to go the unreached places. We will be giving further reports on extension training in upcoming e-newsletters. We look forward to working with our new national church leadership to an even greater degree. We look forward to Tammy finishing her teaching obligations at the American School and being able to travel and work with Nate more.

We look forward to Nate completing the coursework for his Master’s Degree in Leadership. We look forward to a new team member joining our field, Stephen Kuert, who will help us in several areas of training and evangelism. We look forward to the return of our team members: the Rostorfer and Santmyire families in mid-year. We look forward to increasing the translation and printing of books and training materials in the Malagasy language. Unreached people groups are never far from our minds. With several trips to unreached regions already on the calendar, we pray that God helps us to find ways to access these difficult areas with the gospel in the coming year.

God has been so faithful throughout 2011, we cannot wait to see how he will lead us in 2012. We hope he does the same for you!
