A little background about us.
Digby was born and grew up in New Zealand. At age 24 he visited a young lady in Canada who he met in New Zealand the year before. They got engaged and then a few months later married. That was 23 years ago.
At age 30 Digby came to a Saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This was life changing, and within a short time Digby and the family connected up with New Tribes Mission, soon moving to the jungles of Venezuela. You ask what does New Tribes Mission do? They are a non-denominational group that specialize in unreached people groups. The missionaries go in and learn the tribal language and make up an alfabet in their language. The missionaries then start translating the Bible into the tribal language and start teaching the natives the Word of God. These people don't have any hope, but as they move from darkness into light they begin to have such joy. They have always lived with such fear, but after hearing the Good News they realize they don't have to anymore, as they now have the hope of eternal life.
Digby and the family are now back in Canada, with his eldest, Rozaline, in University and enjoying being involved in a homeless shelter and being a Big Sister, along with variety of other things. Charmain, the middle child, is graduating from high school this year and looking at becoming a nurse. Fraser, the youngest, is in grade nine, and Digby's lovely wife, now for 23 years, is a community nurse.
Digby and Charmain are involved in the Annex, a ministry to kids on the streets. Along with this, Digby is involved in the Alfa course, a ministry to people wanting to learn more about the meaning of life and the Christian Faith. This course is going on world wide. In the UK uk.alpha.org/ In the U.S.A. www.alphausa.org/ In Canada www.alphacanada.org along with many other countries. In google type Alpha course along with your country.

Having this online store is a new experience for me; one that I am very excited about. My hope is that having online websites will give me the flexibility I need to continue with missions. I will no longer be doing long term missions, as before, but would love to be apart of short term trips. I do not know where this will lead, but am going going to trust the Lord every step of the way to show me His will. I thank you for your support, and hope you enjoy your online shopping experience! |
