New Testament Christian Church...just another witness:

This blog includes my early experiences while part of NTCC (pre-1980...but also until I resigned as a licensed minister in 2008). A time before most of my gainsayers were a gleam in their first Pastor's eye. Also addressed is NTCC's wresting of scripture.

About Deborah

DS or GS: I was involved with NTCC for over thirty-two years. I was previously married to Rev. Richard C Blumenthal for fifteen years. I've been a Pastor's wife, an Executive Board member's wife, and a regional overseers wife. I have ministered in civilian and military works in the United States and overseas, and been a Missionary. I have been a Licensed Minister, pioneered Churches, and stayed in the "Lodge" countless times during conferences. I've taken Pastor Davis' AST course, and traveled in Pastor Davis' motor home with them. I pioneered a work in Jennings LA with Mom and Pop Gaylord, and traveled in their motor home with them. I have lived in the "Dorms" both in St. Louis and in Washington State, and spent many thousands of hours with the Senior Leadership of NTCC during my three plus decades of involvement. I have taught at NTCC's Seminary in the Philippines, and been on the Evangelistic field. I resigned from NTCC's Ministerial roles during December of 2008. I have been married to Gregory for over twenty-three years. There is much else I have done (and denied myself) while with NTCC, but these are some highlights.
