JIM AND CHRIS MILBY

SEND INTERNATIONAL - JAPAN

P.O. Box 513

Farmington, MI 48332

         Jim and Chris work with an established Japanese

church in the city of Kasukabe. Their role is to help the

  church reach out into their community with the Gospel.

  The church people are very bold and creative in using

  varied interests and community needs to communicate

  God’s truth. What consistently reaches the most people by far are their English classes.

  English is now taught in elementary schools, so parents are eager for their children to

  have exposure to native speakers. They reach the same 120-180 people each week

  with the Word of God through chapel times, and social events and annual camp.

LINDA WISDOM

AMERITRIBES

mailto:linda.wisdom@aneritribes.org

       AmeriTribes works among several tribal groups in the

  western U.S. and northern Mexico in a church planting

  outreach. Because of the native people being unreached

  or under-reached, Linda is working among them in a pre-

evangelism situation–learning the language and culture,

  relating to them through friendship evangelism, and helping with community

  development, all with the goal of eventually planting in indigenous native church

  under local leadership. She has been involved in this process since 1974.

       Linda will be taking an early retirement in October 2008. She plans to continue

  with some office work for the literacy team in Mexico–including typing Spanish/

Tarahumara stories and language lessons.
