Introducing the Benezette Family

Tisha and I had the chance to meet this fine couple while at New Tribes Training Institute for Chris and Ginger's wedding. They made quite an impression on us, so I wanted to introduce you to them and their mission in Mongolia. Here is a little about their family:

Ben, a Floridian, and I (Andrea), a Canadian who grew up in Africa, met at New Tribes Bible Institute in Wisconsin. It was there that our hearts were lit on fire with the passion for reaching those who have never heard the Gospel of Christ. We were married shortly after completing Bible School and continued on with NTM Missions Training. We have three children who are a source of joy and laughter to us!

Aiden is five years old. His desire is to grow up 'big and strong' just like Daddy. He is curious and sweet and loves books and 'transformers'.

Ayrik is three and full of fun and energy. He and his brother are close friends and do everything together. He adores mud and scaring his parents with his crazy antics.

Calvary (two years old) tries to do everything her brothers do. She can jump already and has no problem climbing ladders and going on the slides all by her self. She is very feminine but a bit of a tom boy.

They are back in Mongolia now, and after a run in with the flu, the family is starting to settle back into the Mongolian way of life. Ben is back to studying the Mongolian language (not an easy task) and Andrea has started homeschooling their two oldest children.

They are a wonderful couple. Please be sure to pray for them as the Lord leads.
