Expanding the Reach of the Gospel 
PJ and Heather Garton

   We have chosen to send this packet to you because
you have been a part of our ministry in the past by praying
for us and or giving sacrificially. Over the years some of
our contacts have been lost due to church movement,
relocation, or poor communication on our part. It is our
earnest desire to reach out and reconnect with as many
as possible again, and if the Lord wills, to gain more ministry
partners. We view the ministry that God gives us as a
partnership. It is God�s work and He uses not only those
who go, but also those at home. Together as a team we
are seeing tribal people all over the world come to a
saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

   For the last 10 years the Lord allowed us the privilege
of serving Him at the NTM European Missionary Training
Center in North Cotes, England. During our time there we
were able to see several students from all over the world
come to us and be trained to go out and reach the tribes
with the gospel.

   In 1997 when we first arrived on the field a young German
couple lived across the hall from us. They completed their
training shortly thereafter and later went to Papua, New Guinea.
They work with a tribe called the Dinnengat people. In April these
people heard the gospel message for the first time in their own
heart language. Today you and I have several brothers and
sisters in Christ from the Dinnengat tribe.

   Currently our family is preparing to begin a new ministry at
the NTM Missionary Training Center in Camdenton, MO. We
hope to be moved and settled in MO by the second week in
August. Our new ministry will be working as support staff at
the MTC. PJ will be working on the construction team and
Heather will work with the child care team. We are excited by
the new challenges and look forward to interacting with the
next generation of tribal missionaries. Although PJ will be on
the construction team and not cooking, we are content as
this will be a better fit for our family. A short list of Prayer and
Praise:

 - We praise the Lord for this past year of furlough that God
used to teach us so many things.

 - We would appreciate your prayers as we have a lot of
traveling in the next few weeks. (NJ, MO, OH, IN, KY, NC)

 - Please pray for health, stamina, and a clear focus as we
transition to MO. The saying goodbyes to family and friends
again are not something we look forward to.

 - Pray for the kids as they start at a new school in August and
begin to make new friends.

 - Pray that we reflect courageously the life of the Risen Lord
Jesus in us, the Hope of Glory!

Serving the King of Glory,

PJ & Heather Garton
