Guesthouse Ministry

 We are extremely thankful for the privilege of serving in the Guesthouse for the last years! And we are also so thankful that God has provided two families (each taking a part of the year) to replace us while we are away for our one-year home assignment. We will be sad to leave in June but so excited to welcome our replacements in May and teach them about the Guesthouse ministry. And after one year visiting family, supporters and churches, we will be excited to return to our ministry here!



Notice the Wall of Praise above the chairs.




Here is our breakfast bar area, where Jonathan sometimes comes to do his Math class online. Please pray for more teachers to come to our school!!


Jacob has been working in the Guesthouse workshop area more now to finish up projects that he has needed to do for a few years now. He is enjoying this time of woodworking work!


We are thankful for our guesthouse team! Including Simau, a new employee, and Rumbi, who has worked for NTM for over 30 years!

Fiona is also a faithful guesthouse worker on our team, working here for about 15 years!

Georgie has also worked at the guesthouse for about 15 years! We are thankful to have her on our team!


The ladies are drying corn and seeds while they work, so they can go plant them in their gardens.

Drawing a new Welcome Sign for the Guesthouse



Renovations on a guesthouse apartment kitchen. Painting and then new cupboards!

The cupboards are going in

Ready for guests to come... cupboard doors, next step.






Just learned how to use the bread maker!


Excited for a second computer so the ladies can have more time to learn more computer skills as they input guesthouse bookings and print the menus.




Just outside our house and the guesthouse, we have the best climbing tree, a mango tree.


And just next to the mango tree we have a campfire every Saturday for guests and neighbors and friends to join... bringing dinner to cook over the fire or just coming to hang out.
