As I sit down to write
this thank you letter, I am reminded of what I shared with our NTIM board in
our last board meeting and that is…..GOD IS AT WORK changing lives and allowing
us to join Him in reaching into some of the least reached people groups in the
entire world.
Just in the last few weeks we have seen 3 high school students, 3
university students, and one recently graduated university student follow the
Lord in believer’s baptism. Four (4) of these seven (7) new believers are what
we call 1st generation believers and the first person in their
entire family to become a follower of Jesus. One is from the Muang Unreached
People Group. One is from the Issaan Unreached People Group, and the rest are
from either the Hmong Unreached People Group or the Akha Unreached People
Group. Both of these baptisms have been downloaded to our channel on Youtube so
if you would like to see them, please email me at pray4ntim@gmail.com
and I will send you the link.
I can confidently say to each donor that gives to NTIM that
when you give to NTIM, you are giving to an organization that God is using in
extra ordinary ways to make disciples of some of the least reached people
groups in our world today. I can confidently assure you that NTIM is committed
to using the donations you entrust to us to go directly to the work on the
field. Not even one percent of your donation goes to administrative office type
expenses in the USA or any executive salary in the USA but 99+% of your
donation is sent directly to the field and the field missionaries and nationals
handle both the actual work of the field and most administrative issues. I am
pleased to inform you that none of our board members neither wish to receive a
salary nor do they receive a salary for their services given to NTIM but all of
our Board Member services are freely given because it is one way that we can
serve the Lord and join God in doing our part of the great commission. Even
though my family personally receives support on the field, all of my services
as the Vice President and Director of Field Operations are done as a volunteer
just like the rest of our Board Members.
We know that each of you are concerned about the integrity
of funds for your donations and with all the bad news out there these days, we
don’t want you to lose heart in giving because there are good non-profit
organizations out there like NTIM that are doing tremendously good work for Jesus
and for His Kingdom and they need your support. Our Lord Jesus encourages us to
store up treasures for ourselves in heaven and giving to NTIM is one of those
ways you can do that. Thank you for partnering with us and trusting us enough
to freely give so that God can continue to use NTIM, Grace Language School,
Baan Athitaan Church, and other partners to reach some of the least reached
people groups in the world. If you have
internet access and want to see a short summary of the work of NTIM, here is a
link to our work:
When God called us to Thailand, He was calling us to a
ministry that is committed to taking the gospel of our Lord Jesus to where
millions have never heard. He has called us to invest our lives in making
disciples of all the nations, and we are beginning to see God move in mighty
ways. We are writing you today to say
thank you for the donations you have already made. Thank you. We are also
writing you to ask if you would consider becoming one of our monthly key
financial ministry partners through Northern Thailand Impact Ministry. There
are about thirteen monthly supporters that give to NTIM on a monthly basis but
we are asking God for at least twice that number. Would you consider being a
monthly partner with us?
Giving through NTIM is one way that you can store up
treasures in heaven and allow us to be your representatives to the nations in
and around Northern Thailand. Thank you for your investment in the past and thank
you for considering giving in a greater way in the future.
Until the people in and around Northern Thailand know Him,
Michael L. Johnson, Vice President and Director of Field
Operations for NTIM
