I believe God is drawing all people to Himself.
I believe the Holy Spirit indwells the members of New Tribes Mission. To join the mission, they would have given testimony to their faith in Christ's finished work on the cross.
If work needs to be done today in their lives and/or my life (no ifs as to me...May God have full sway in this earthen vessel today....maybe I need to stop using the term IFART....but it reminds me of the boys dorm and the trips in the Kombi, coming back from the churrascaria), then may God accomplish his purposes today. Perhaps God would lead men like Rich Rayl, and dozens of men at NTM Homes who may or may not have knowledge of the torture and sexual abuse of children, to leave their comfort zones and earnestly seek God's direction as to how they might care for the little ones who bore the brunt of their ministry.

From Our Daily Bread, today

Col. 3
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

From Our Daily Bread, today

Isaiah 37
36 Then the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp.

God is at work in our lives today. Hezekiah didn't shoot one arrow. In fact, based on Colossians 3, He is patiently at work in my life.

May God bless Joan, Kent, Stephen, Tim, Jonathan, Rachel and Joel today, including their spouses, children and grandchildren. May the deliverance he granted King Hezekiah be evident in their lives today, regardless of the circumstances they might be facing, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Lord, are the only God.

"I would appreciate being removed from the list of contacts."

What if Paul Revere had said that?

Winston Churchill...."I have nothing to offer....never mind....take my name off the list."

FDR: The only thing we have to fear is....oh, take my name off the list.

Admiral Farragut: Did you say they have torpedoes? Turn back now.

John Paul Jones: I have not yet begun to....where is that surrender outfit I had picked out before the battle.

Or if JFK had said "Think not what you can do for your country, but what you can do for yourself".

I can't understand it either, makes no sense and destroys credibility very fast.

P.s. if they had kept their hands and other parts of their anatomy in their pockets, this mess would have never have occurred in the first place.

"Neither the alleged offender nor the victim’s parents are to be advised of the allegations unless there is a serious physical or emotional danger to the minor victim."

2002? Wasn't there a massive Jonathan Edwards-like revival in NTM in 1997?

Does NTM view itself as the owner of children, deciding when parents are worthy of a news report (Johnny caught a fish, Susie did her work detail=report to parents; Susie reports sexual abuse=no report)?
