What do you think you're doing?

This was the sobering question that entered the mind of our keynote speaker as he was going over to the Philippines for the first time as a tribal missionary many years ago. As the reality of what they were attempting to do hit, he had turned to his wife and desperately asked what they were thinking! What was he doing?! Yet, in that overwhelming moment, in their hotel room later, he could sense God saying to him, "What are you doing?" It was then that he realized that he needed to have confidence in what God is doing and to trust Him as he realized what exactly he was committed to in this seemingly impossible task. He referred to this as a watershed moment for him and the point of no return. He then proceeded to address things we needed to know and what we needed to become in order to be effective cross-culture church planters.

Thus was our kick off to Field Fair! From Wednesday through today, we heard from leaders and representatives in nearly all the countries in which New Tribes operates. There were tables set up, two afternoons for questions, and even a coffee hour Wednesday night to get to know the different people who had come in for this event. The following countries that were represented this week were:

New Tribes Mission Aviation
Africa (east)
Africa (west)
Brazil (east)

Colombia
Paraguay
Mexico
Philippines
Asia Pacific
Papua New Guinea

Please be praying for us! There are no shortage of needs but only two of us! It can sometimes feel a little overwhelming when these needs and opportunities are presented. We want to be open to wherever the Lord is leading as we seek His guidance. Yes, we have our plans but we don't want to hold onto our plans so tightly that we become blind to where God may be trying to direct us.

Thank you for your prayers!

United in Christ,

Caitlin and Cameron
