David Prowse from Star Wars, Born-Again? - Posted: June 16, 2008
by Master John A Kraly - 1992 , 1993
I was recently told by someone that claims to be very close friends with David Prowse(Darth Vader, Star Wars) that he IS indeed a Born-again believer in Jesus Christ. ----- Moving forward, LifeSabers is in fact doing just that...not as quickly as I would like but it is moving forward at God's pace and for His glory. Right now we are working on a bigger version of our Star Wars 30th Anniversary outreach from May 2007. We of LifeSabers Fellowship and a company called USA Theatres(.com) are working on a bigger version of the Star Wars outreach. Please pray for our attending of the Baltimore, MD Science Fiction convention(July 11-13) called Shore Leave as we use this as one of our twice a year outreaches.(www.shore-leave.com) I HAVE updated our LifeSabers MySpace site, PLEASE visit our site soon!

Correction to links below - Posted: April 25, 2008 by Russ and Brenda (Butler) Nelson - 1989 , 1990 rbnelsrbnels@yahoo.com.au http://www.ntm.org/go/associates.php? http://www.ntm.org/go/ go_results.php?country=Papua+New+Guinea New Tribes wants you - Posted: April 25, 2008 by Russ and Brenda (Butler) Nelson - 1989 , 1990 Interested in putting your trade or professional skills immediately to use without having to learn a language or spend more time in colleges? Is there more to life than just getting a better car, bigger house and helping out in Sunday School? We URGENTLY need support workers and short termers (NTM Associate program) in PNG especially in the positions of teachers, nurses, computer support, pilots, aircraft mechanics, maintenance and secretarial. Exciting opportunities here in Papua New Guinea as the Gospel continues to go out to unevangelized language groups through the dedication of tribal language teams but more and more of them are having to be pulled back into critical support roles as needs remain. If you have kids, there's not a better and more adventurous place they could grow up at with an outstanding Christian school, teachers and friends. Whether you can stay for a year or a lifetime, we need people who want to serve and make a difference for eternity by helping us to help reach the unreached. We sold our house last year and came in faith in October and I'm working fixing PC hardware and software and network (Linux servers, Windows workstations for over 500 users). Is the work here easy? You can guess the answer to that. Will you know the contentment of leaving behind mediocrity and the "rat race" and trading up for contentment in doing all you can to help reach the lost? Most definitely. My wife (Brenda, class of '90) and I (class of '90 Australia, SYM '90 US) and our two young girls are glad we came and love working here. There's over 800 languages here in PNG (more than any other single country in the world). You might immediately think you could never come here or be as happy here. But if you're willing to "Go", God WILL make the way. You're already qualified to help in some way, if you're willing to consider helping here short-term or just have questions, please email me at rbnelrbnels@yahoo.com.au and check out where you fit in at http://www.ntm.org/ go/associates.php? Come on along! Papua New Guinea is one great place to live and serve our Saviour. :)
