This increase puts us now at 71% of our needed support! Please pray with us that God will bring in the remainder that we need before we return to the field this summer.2010-07-12 13:55:12 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=25Our current prayerletter for the months of May-June, 2010 is now available on our site.

Thank you to all who faithfully uphold us in prayer and financial support.2010-05-10 20:18:45 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=23The Lord has blessed us greatly in providing a very nice vehicle for us here in Krasnoyarsk. It is a 1998 Toyota Ipsum with a 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive, and will seat up to 8 people. It is about the size of a mid-size SUV. It came with a good set of snow-tires and has a nice comfortable ride.

We installed a security system/remote starter on it, which is a necessity here in Siberia. The remote starter is set to start the car when the engine block temperature reaches -10C and will run for 20 minutes. This is to keep the engine from freezing up during the winter when it is -30C or colder. If we didn't have the starter, the car would never start when we do need it.

We praise the Lord for His abundant blessings in providing us with a great vehicle.2010-01-18 00:19:14 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=22We want to take this time to wish a Happy New Year to all of you who keep up with our ministry. We have seen the Lord work in miraculous ways this past year while on deputation. However, we know that we cannot rest on last year's victories and we are looking forward to how the Lord will work in and through our lives as we anticipate being able to return to Siberia on a full-time basis by August of 2010.

Thank you again to all who have partnered with us through prayer and finances to allow us represent you as we endeavor to reach the people of Siberia with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our prayer is that God will be able to use each one of you in even greater ways this new year. May God bless you in your service to Him.2009-12-31 19:53:54 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=15Our current prayerletter for December is now available and online.

We are so excited to be serving the Lord in Siberia. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we have much to do in the short time that we are here.2009-12-31 19:37:24 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=21We are so excited to announce that as of December 2009, the Lord has provided 60% of our support through the missions giving of His local churches.
Thank you to all of our partners in ministry. We are excited and honored to be your representatives to reach the people of Siberia with the Gospel of Christ.2009-12-31 06:46:24 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=19At the close of October we tallied up our support and it has increased to 54%! We are praising the Lord for the new partners in ministry and we are excited as we get closer to the full amount of support needed.
Thank you to all who have a part in our ministry either financially or prayerfully. Please continue to pray with us that the Lord will bring in our needed support in a timely manner.2009-11-04 11:50:13 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=20Our current prayer letter for October 2009 is now posted on our website. Please click here to view the prayerletter.
God has worked in some mighty ways this past month and we are praising Him for His faithfulness and goodness to us in that He counted us faithful, putting us in the ministry.2009-11-04 11:50:13 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=8For the month of July, we had a couple of churches contact us, telling us that they had voted to take us on for monthly support! Tallying up the total monthly commitments, we are now at 47% of our needed monthly support. PRAISE THE LORD! Please continue to pray that they Lord would bring in the remainder of our needed support in a timely manner. Please pray also that we would have the patience to wait and accept the Lord's timing.2009-08-08 22:04:17 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=18I just recently finished a design project for Mr. Jim Bray in which we completely redesigned his Gospel tract that he had written several years ago. The tract title is "How to be 100% sure of Heaven According to the Bible."
I had the privilege of knowing Bro. Bray while I was at Ambassador Baptist College and his burden for souls is very obvious. It was a joy to be able to work with him to complete this project and get this tool out into the hands of local churches and individuals.
This tract is unique from most in that is includes both Old and New Testament scriptures as well as emphasis on the doctrine of repentance. I believe that this is a well-written, easy-to-use tract that will be a valuable asset to the soulwinner.
For more information about this tract or ordering it, please contact Marantha Baptist Church in Shelby, NC at www.mbcshelby.org or visit the tract's website at www.thepoweroftheword.com2009-05-09 14:31:20 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=17We are proud to announce to arrival of our new missionary, Elliot Hudson Northcutt. Elliot was born via c-section on December 21 at 11:47pm weighing in at 7lbs. 5 oz. and 19.75 inches long.

Please click here to view the birth announcement.

Please click here to view Elliot's 1-week picture collage.

Thank you to all of you who kept us in yours prayers throughout the pregnancy and delivery. The Lord truly was good and gave safety during the delivery. Our next prayerletter will detail how God worked through Elliot's delivery.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we make the many adjustments that come with a new baby.2009-01-01 16:25:38 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=16I'm sure some of you have been wanting to see the most recent pictures of Baby Mac. On our last visit to the doctor we found out that Mac is a boy, and we were able to get some clear pictures. Here is the best picture of his leg(s). If you look close you can see both of them in the picture. I will try to post some more as I get the time.2008-08-06 15:38:37 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=14Due to the space demands that both deputation and a new baby will bring, we have decided that it would be wise to sell our current vehicle and purchase a minivan.

The heartbeat was about 160-165 beats per minute. We kept hearing a sucking sound in with the heartbeat which turned out to actually be the baby moving around. Both the doctor and the nurse said that we have a very active baby. So, all-in-all, the appointment went very well and we got a good report. Our next appointment we are hoping to find out if the baby is a boy or girl. I will keep the news updated as we learn more through our appointments. Thanks for all your prayers and support. Please continue to keep Katie and the baby in your prayers.2008-06-24 09:43:27 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=12Yesterday we went for our first prenatal appointment and got our first look at Mac. (For those of you who don't know, Mac is our nickname for the baby until we find out whether it s a boy or a girl) We are 9 weeks along in the pregnancy with everything going great. The doctor said everything was just the way it was supposed to be. We were a bit surprised that they did an ultrasound this early, but they did and we are glad for it. We were able to see (as I tried to point out in the picture) the baby's arms, legs and also see his heart beating. Even at this early stage, it is quite evident that this is not just a mass of tissue, but a living person. How anyone can say he is not a living person but just a mass of tissue to be expunged from the body is beyond me. Just seeing the heartbeat alone should be enough to convince someone that it is a living baby in the mother's womb. I guess this is just another evidence of what Paul told Timothy in 1 Timothy 2:4 about men having their conscience seared with a hot iron. Men want to believe what they want regardless of the facts and truths of God's Word (Life begins at conception) that even seeing the heartbeat of a baby in the womb wouldn't change their minds. Anyways, Mac is alive and well at 9 weeks old and we are excited about our future with him. Please keep us in your prayers that both Katie and Mac would be healthy and safe throughout the duration of the pregnancy and delivery.2008-05-23 10:48:15 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=11Our current prayer letter for April 2008 is now posted on our website. You may either download it or view it under the OUR MINSTRY drop-down menu on the PRAYERLETTERS page. Lord willing, we will try to post a prayer letter every month with frequent email updates throughout the month. Please keep us in your prayers. We need them desperately.2008-05-19 12:07:38 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=9Yes, it is true. Come December, there will be another member of the Northcutt family on the deputation trail as we are expecting our first child. Excited would hardly describe our joy as we anticipate the arrival of our new trust from God. Katie is about 2 months along in her pregnancy and is doing quite well. Waves of nausea come and go, but for the most part she hasn't been really sick. The worst always comes in the evening. We will be posting more on the progress and development of our little one. I told Katie we could name the baby "Mac" in honor of my new computer, but she didn't go for it. Please keep us in your prayers as this is a learning experience for both me and Katie and each day brings its own set of ups and downs.2008-05-16 14:06:40 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=10Praise the Lord! Four years of hard work and study at Ambassador Baptist College paid off at the Commencement Exercises on May 2, 2008. As you can see from the picture, all of Katie's family were able to come down for the graduation. It was a special treat to be able to spend about a week after the graduation with her family. I was privileged to graduate with 45 other students. Out of my large 90+ freshman class, very few made it this far to actually graduating. The Lord has knit a special bond between those of use who came in together and stayed for all of the four years and it is exciting to see what God's will holds is store for each of us. These are life-long friendships that we have developed and I truly thank God for the friends He has sent into my life to encourage me and Katie. Many are the hours and prayers that have been invested in both mine and Katie's life. As I leave the college stage of life and embark into full-time deputation, I am slowly beginning to realize how great a debt I owe, not to just Jesus Christ who saved me, but to the many men and women who have poured their lives into mine to teach and instruct me in the Word of God. Realizing this debt I owe makes me more determined than ever to stay true to the Word of God and the calling that he has given me and Katie for Arctic Siberia. Please pray that we would keep on the firin' line and stay true to our calling and the Word of God.2008-05-05 19:07:41 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=7We have added a new feature to our website.

On Sunday, March 16, 2008, the church unanimously voted to send us as church-planting missionaries to the field of Arctic Siberia. Praise the Lord! We are excited about this step in the process of getting to the field. It is so encouraging to know that we have a church who will faithfully stand behind us as we endeavor to be obedient to the Lord's call to the field of Arctic Siberia. 2008-03-27 16:24:00 http://www.northboundnorthcutts.com/OurMinistry/news.php?id=2Welcome to the recent addition of a news feed on our website.
