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: Follow the Lord’s Work With TAN
FOLLOW THE TUTTONS AS WE TRAVEL FROM NORTHERN MICHIGAN . . .
to the farming country of Central Indiana. We are spending this month behind a farmer’s barn (pictured on left), overlooking soybean fields and listening to the cackling of chickens. While here, we have been able to visit a number of great churches and have been able to visit our youngest daughter as she fights cancer for the second time. Please pray for her.
FOLLOW ADAM OGLE, THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR TAN, AND DR. SIEMER,
the director of field services for Fundamental Baptist Missions International, as they travel together this next month to Malawi, Africa. They will have the privilege of training 300 national pastors on how to start Bible institutes in their churches to train men for full-time service. This will be the first trip that our materials have been translated into a local language (pictured at left).
FOLLOW OUR PROGRESS AS WE WRITE THE TOP BIBLE-STUDY GUIDES.
The eighth TOP Bible-study guide completed this month is entitled “Get Connected to God . . . by Prayer” (pictured at left). These Bible studies are now available. These can be ordered by email at top@cbcanton.com. A suggested donation of $3.00 per study guide will help pay for overseas flights for Teaching All Nations.
Thank you for your prayers and financial support,
Ed & Carolyn Tutton
