NTM has published and distributed their 2012 calendar.
The quote on the very first page of the calendar, the Dec. 2011 page, reads:
"Our mission effort, motivation, and challenge should focus more on the Lord of the harvest rather than the harvest." --Dean Van Vliet, retired NTM missionary
*********** GRACE's recommendation regarding this same Dean Van Vliet:
Dean Van Vliet (Non-Active Member of NTM-USA)
As a result of Dean Van Vliet’s failure to report child abuse and his failure to otherwise protect the children of Fanda, GRACE recommends retroactive termination from active membership. This shall be evidenced by a written notice signed by the NTM Executive Committee and must include:
• A general summary of the basis for the termination. • A summary of NTM’s failure to take prompt action to protect the children. • A summary of NTM’s failure to immediately report the abuse to civil authorities. • A summary of NTM’s failure to terminate Dean Van Vliet when it first received notice of his failures to report abuse and protect the children at Fanda. • A commitment that NTM-USA shall not rehire nor provide any form of recommendation on behalf of Dean Van Vliet.
The termination from active membership notice must be placed in Dean Van Vliet’s member/personnel file, must be delivered to Dean Van Vliet, must be posted on the member section of the NTM website for 6 months, must be provided to Fanda MKs, and must be provided to any and all individuals and/or churches that currently provide financial support to Dean Van Vliet. NTM-USA shall immediately begin to deduct 10% of Dean Van Vliet’s gross income and contribute such to the MK Fund. These deductions shall be permanent. Dean Van Vliet shall never be allowed to represent NTM in any formal and/or informal capacity.

Does NTM really think we're not going to notice this kind of stuff???
Or are they doing it on purpose?
