Nicho & Jararing childrens school fees

Our former students and New Co-workers 

July 26th, Updated version. Only 1 child going to school so this project just got easier for you to help complete.  

Nicho and Jararing Marweri are our new co-workers. Nicho is from Papua and his wife Jararing (Jaing) is from Kalimantan. They met at our missionary training center in Sulawesi were we taught for 17 years.  They have three kids, two which are school age.  Rian (boy) is going into 2nd grade and Nindy (girl) they are trying to get into 1st grade. The decision has been made not send Nindy to school this year.  Since Rian is "moving schools" his registration is about  $60.

Their monthly school fee is about $2 per child. If you want to help them with either the registration fee or the monthly school fees that would be a great blessing and encouragement to them.

Do be praying for them and if you would like to help you can send any financial help to

New Tribes Mission
1000 E 1st St.
Sanford Fl, 32771

Make a check out to NTM but please put a note with it that it is for Indonesian National missionary Nicholas and Jararing Marweri to help with kids schooling.

1 Project finished

Placing the well tube on the foundation of trash burner

We are thankful for the help of Nicho our co-worker and 3 guys who are on their way to our school in Manado. Working together we were able to get the trash burner finished and the whole for the ashes cleaned out. We even had a little extra cement left over. This enabled us to patch up a couple of holes in the entrance way and one in the wall separating our place from the neighboring bible school dorm. Please continue to pray about being apart of the other projects we have listed. The volley ball project will be used in our sports time during the training/discipleship program as well as the badminton project. Keep checking back and keep praying.  If you click on the "Picture" page link you can see more picts of the project's progression. 

This project is now finished and being used to burn the trash at the discipleship center. Continue to pray for us here as we get things readied for the students.   Also continue to use your creativity to find ways you can participate.

Volley Ball Set up

We figure it will be about $100 for a volley ball set up. This will include the net, good ball, 1 bag of cement, sand, stones, two used tires (free hopefully) and a long pipe cut in two for the volley ball polls. The break down is like this.

1. Volley Ball Net  Rp 125,000  = $ 15
2. 1 bag of cement Rp   75,000  = $ 9
3. Sand/Rock         Rp   40,000  = $ 5
4. Long Pipe          Rp  200,000 = $ 24
5. Good Ball          Rp  400,000 = $ 48

These prices are approximate with the continuing fluctuation in the dollar vs rupiah.

If you, your church, small group, Sunday School etc. want to help with this click on "give" under "participate" to the right.   This will be a special gift for "Volley Ball Set Up". Please note that with the gift.

Thank you for your participation. As funds come in we will keep you up on the progress.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to all our friends out there.  The next project I will be working on and gathering information for will two sporting setups.   Volley Ball and badminton are two relatively inexpensive projects that you can be a part of.  Over the next week I will be getting the data and material list for these.   Thank you for praying and considering helping with these two projects.

Projects

Many of you feel you can’t give monthly but you can give from time to time. These projects are opportunities for you, your youth group, Sunday School class or any other small group to participate by giving to various projects.

Because we don’t have the means to take from our monthly support to put towards these projects we will only proceed as the Lord provides through His people, people just like you.

Ask the Lord for creative ways you can get involved as well as get others involved. Car washes, bake sales, softball tournaments, collecting & recycling cans are various ideas you can use. Don’t stop there, let your creativity flow.

Project List:

1. Paper work & Move.
With our recent move from Sulawesi to Papua, we have incurred a deficit of about  $1,800.  In August we will have to have more paper work done. We are not sure how much that will be. Once that is done, we should be able to put some aside each month to cover next years paper work.

2. Down Stairs.
Many of you have seen pictures of the house we live in.  It is on stilts and has a car port and laundry room “down stairs. We have one bathroom and limited “hanging out” room. We would like to dig and level out the rest of the underneath of the house and then put in a concrete floor. Eventually we would like to brick in that section, make a “Prophets” room, and a place the kids can have friends over and just hang out. We realize all this would have to be done in stages.  I will add more info as well as pictures in the near future.

1st Entry

I know, I know, its not real fancy title, but for a simple guy like me, you can't expect too much fancy stuff.  I will attempt to use this blog as well as www.ntm.org/craig_cassel to keep you up to date on our happenings and ministry needs. There may be some duplications from one to the other, but hopefully this will get you to pray and participate even more. We will start out focusing on "projects" for our ministry place that are needing your participation.  If you have any ideas you want to share with us, please feel free but be nice.
