FEBRUARY 2007
I woke up this beautiful Saturday morning and was thankful to our heavenly
Father for all of the wonderful ways that I can see His hand working in the
lives of the Hendricks family. It is good to be a child of the God of the
universe and know that I can go to Him and talk with Him and He wants me to.
I received communication from Pastor Caraveo in Tabasco, Mexico, and was
sent a tentative schedule of our trip there in May. We will be arriving on
May 10th and leaving on the 28th. Only on the 17th will we be resting. The
other days we will be in five different cities preaching the Gospel and
holding meetings on the church; church-planting, church growth and church
expansion. It is the pastorпїЅs goal to start at least three new churches
from our efforts. Pastor Caraveo is a dedicated man who already pastors a
work of 120+ in Paraiso, Tabasco. He has recently started a church in
Comalcalco an is helping about 4 other new, small works in teaching,
encouraging, counseling and edifying. He is 50+ years old and works
constantly. Yet, here he is with a real desire to do more. He has about
$2500.00 to buy a vehicle because he does not have one and has asked me to
find one for him. I believe it will take a little more and the trip to the
border will be expensive but I am going to do my best to help. He needs a
пїЅ88-пїЅ92 SUV. A Ford or Chevy would be better for parts and repairs in
Mexico. If anyone knows of such a vehicle or would like to help in this
great need please let me know. My email is tim@tnti.org. Our cost for
going is about $1000.00 per person and we have five or six people going.
Please pray with us that God would provide this need. Donations are to be
sent to TNTI Ministries, P.O. Box 184, Mill Creek, PA, 17060. Please mark
them as пїЅTabascoпїЅ or пїЅThe Contender FundпїЅ.
In Church planting one of the emphases that we attempt to teach is the total
participation of the congregation. I believe that I pay my debt to the
world by getting the Gospel into every ear or hand possible. I knock on
doors, give out tracts, speak to people in grocery stores, gas stations,
street corners, etc., in order to pay this debt. This is not enough though
to build a church. In Acts 2: 46, 47 we read пїЅпїЅand breaking bread from
house to houseпїЅ And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be
saved.пїЅ It is my belief that we пїЅbuild our churchesпїЅ by getting into the
homes of people who are lost and opening the Word of God and leading them to
salvation and disciplining those who do get saved in order that they may be
baptized, taught and working members of the local church. It is a goal that
we try to put before the church that each family in the church ask God to
help them accomplish this in a yearпїЅs time. It then begins to spread with
the circle of influence of the church member and then sometimes reaches into
the other side of the city, another city, or another state. It is then the
responsibility of the church to expand itself and begin the process of
planting another church in that пїЅlocalпїЅ. This is the emphasis of TNTI
Ministries. Please pray with us that God would bless and open doors in this
great ministry.
