Dear Supporters,

Here’s a brief update about building plans at the ABT base, and further information on projected building costs. Approximate costs were figured last year as we evaluated the overall scope of the project. They were as follows:

Has anybody seen my memory lately? I seem to have left behind a sizable portion of it this past month—probably as a result of covering 5,160+ miles in four weeks to give twenty-eight ABT presentations at twenty-six schools (plus one at a daycare). Looking back, I almost can’t believe I actually...

"God's wisdom is on display! And spiritual beings and authorities marvel at Him, as they see members of every sector of the human race coming together in one body in Christ." Last Friday evening, God inspired us with this message from Ephesians 3:10. The occasion was ABT's annual Board and...

We started with Orientation for new members on May 18 and 19. Then on Monday a number of them willingly helped set up and prepare the grounds for Camp Week.

It takes lots of endurance to get the training required to be part of an ABT Church Planting Team so please pray for endurance and wisdom for each one.

“In you all the families of the earth shall be...

We are looking for a couple who would be able to serve in the area of Childcare for two upcoming events, May 22-26. During Camp Week (22-24) it would be the children of ABT member and staff families. During EXPLORE ABT (25-26) it would be children of any families attending. We're expecting...

Do unreached people groups seem far away? Does helping with Bible translation seem out of your reach?

At EXPLORE ABT you will get a taste of how languages work and how to learn them. Hear a Bible translator's stories. Debate the concept of indigenous churches. And have your vision for...
