The Miller Family
Tennessee to
Melanesia
We are the Millers from Tennessee!
We are excited to share with you a
bit of our story of God's guidance into
the unknowns of international
missions. Until 2011, when we
adopted our daughter, neither of us had ever traveled outside the US.
We were both raised in typical suburban America and were afforded
many opportunities for education and good jobs. When we traveled to
adopt our daughter, our eyes were opened to the world and to God's
great love for all the people in his creation. We began to seek ways in
which we could be involved with God where he is already at work,
sharing in the great and subtle ways that his purposes are
accomplished. We are thrilled that this journey has led us to an
assignment in Papua New Guinea beginning in late 2017. Justin will be
working on various IT/computer projects throughout the region, while
Stephanie will be assisting in the MK school on the station at Kudjip. We
are so appreciative of your prayers and financial contributions to the
ministry in Kudjip. Our fundraising goal for our family of three is $3600/
month. Please consider a recurring gift, as this will help us budget and
determine when we are ready to leave for the field. Thank you for your
support of this work!
The Millers will be sharing with us
Tonight at 6:00pm
Memorial Roll Sunday - May 28th
We will be remembering those individuals put on the NMI memorial roll

Brian Arner
June 4th - 8:30am & 10:50am
Brian has emerged as one of the finest voices in inspirational
Christian music. His dramatic solo interpretations thrill, inspire
and move his listeners. Whether Brian is ministering in his
hometown church, or sharing in the national ministries of Youth
for Christ, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, In Touch Ministries, Love Worth
Finding, Turning Point Ministries or others, Brian's vocal quality is matched
only by the depth and sincerity of his spirit. His genuine love for God, his family
and those around him is evident in all that he does.
Since beginning his full-time ministry fourteen years ago, Brian has completed
four solo recordings including arrangements produced and orchestrated by
seven-time Grammy nominee Mr. Lari Goss. These recordings minister to the
hearts and souls of all who hear them and have been played across the
country on numerous radio stations.
Although Brian is a skilled musician, he is first and foremost a music minister.
He lives what he sings, and all that he sings is soul stirring and spiritually
stirring.
Brian, his wife Penni and their two sons travel full-time in their music ministry.
Totally committed to spreading the gospel, their daily goal is to help others
make God and His son Jesus Christ the center of their lives.
MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik
Did you know..that the National Park Serice denied the request of Dr. Andrew
Snelling, a Christian, when he applied for a routine permit to study the area? As a published
scientist with years of experience, Snelling never dreamed his request would be an unusual
one. Once they learned the University of Sydney graduate's views on the earth's formation,
government officials denied the request for a handful of rock and soil samples. They insisted
that Snelling could find what he was looking for outside of Grand Canyon National Park.
That seemed unfair, since the government rarely -- if ever -- turned down applications from
esteemed researchers like this one. Attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF)
explained that "when he persisted, additional challenges came and Dr. Snelling methodically
answered or rebutted each bureaucratic complaint. Then Park officials changed their story,
and issued a permit which required Dr. Snelling to traverse the Canyon in a separate trip
and locate every proposed sampling site with GPS coordinates and photographs -- without
any assurance of ever being authorized to actually collect the samples needed. No other
scientist has been subjected to such a demand." After a three-year wild goose chase for
permission that should have come automatically, Snelling filed a public records request. He
was stunned to find out that Park officials were specifically discriminating because of his
Christian beliefs. So, Snelling did what too many victims of this kind of religious hostility
have been forced to do: he filed suit. Obviously, park officials weren't concerned that he'd
disturb the area -- but the scientific debate. As most experts will tell you, it takes a whole lot
more faith to believe in evolution than creation. The evidence just isn't there. Either way, as
ADF Senior Counsel Gary McCaleb points out, "Such disagreement is how science works.
But when the government starts refusing access to even collect the information because it
dislikes one scientist's views, it undercuts science and violates the law. And this case
perfectly illustrates why President Trump had to order executive agencies to affirm religious
freedom, because Park officials specifically targeted Dr. Snelling's religious faith as the
reason to stop his research... Using someone's views to screen them for a government
benefit is unconstitutional."
