SERVING WITH TEACHING ALL NATIONS
ABOUT
| Ed | Birthday 10/26 | |
| Carolyn | Birthday 04/30 | |
| Ed & Carolyn | Wedding Anniversary 07/07/67 |
Both Ed and Carolyn Tutton grew up in Christian homes. Carolyn was saved at the age of eight in Ft. Worth, Texas. Ed was saved at the age of fourteen in Buffalo, New York. They met at Bob Jones University and were married soon after graduation in 1967.
They planned to go to the mission field, but God had other plans for them. Their mission board requested that they wait a year before starting their deputation. During that year, the pastor of their home church asked them to start a Christian school. This began a thirty-year adventure, working in the area of Christian education. Carolyn became a teacher, and Ed established and directed both Christian schools and Bible colleges in America.
Their calling to become missionaries was realized in 2004 when they were asked to join the China Mission Team sent from First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. Their assignment was to win souls and write the curriculum for English training schools. On their thirty-eighth wedding anniversary, they left to serve as missionaries in Jilin, China, where they saw hundreds saved and many baptized and added to house churches.
Three years later, they traveled to Kumasi, Ghana, to establish the Hyles-Anderson College of West Africa. It was in Ghana, Africa, working with Adam Ogle and his family, that they realized that the great need in world missions was to close the gap between world evangelism and global church planting by training a larger number of men in their own communities and cultures to go to the “next towns” and start mission works. From this need, Ed Tutton and Adam Ogle got a vision to produce the Teaching All Nations program which is now being used to train men around the world, using the biblical model introduced by Christ in the New Testament. This three-to-four-year program is a step-by-step Bible college curriculum, organized into 150 lessons, using the question-and-answer method to find answers in the Word of God.
Ed and Carolyn are still serving the Lord by training nationals around the world to win souls and plant new, independent Baptist churches.

TAN Update: You Can’t Stop God’s Work
YOU CAN’T BAN . . . TAN!!
The Teaching All Nations materials continue to be used, even as some missionaries have left their fields due to the pandemic; but the TAN curriculum has not been affected by the virus, and the training of young people continues daily. Praise the Lord for the wisdom of our board of directors that suggested that missionaries would also need to include the training of a national “second man” just in case the missionary had to leave the field. In many instances, nationals continue to use TAN materials during the lockdown.
YOU CAN’T STOP . . . TOP!!
The printing continues this month of the latest TOP series entitled “TEN BIBLE DOCTRINES.” This two-year, advanced-discipleship program is well under way, with three of the ten Bible-study guides completed. The titles of these three are as follows: “I LOVE MY BOSS . . . SUBMISSION,” “TO GET IS TO GIVE . . . SACRIFICE,” and “SETTING THE STAGE . . . SECOND COMING.” These are now completed and ready to use for your summer programs. The remaining seven titles are now ready to be printed. Please go to the TOP website for a complete listing of titles coming in the doctrinal series and a listing of great topics in the original Bible series. Our website is teachingourpeople.net.
YOU CAN’T STOP . . . THE WHEELS ROLLING!!
”The wheels of our RV go ’round and ’round,” taking us in early June from Florida through Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan. In our travels, we were invited to attend several tent meetings to meet pastors and present TAN and TOP.
My greatest desire was to encourage preachers to put aside their “fear” and replace it with “faith.” I preached several times on the topic of “Divine Appointments” that God provides daily. These divine appointments are to present the Gospel to someone whom God has already prepared to receive Christ. We saw 16 souls saved by divine appointments on this trip. You can’t stop the wheels rolling or the Gospel going. Amen! Thanks for giving and praying.
Living in His grace,
Ed and Carolyn Tutton
