NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

After much research and prayer we have indeed chosen Paraguay as our field of service. We are extremely excited about knowing where it is that we’re headed and we’re looking forward to seeing what God is going to do to get us there.

We have a few reasons for choosing this field. Paraguay was first a consideration because Spanish-speaking countries occupied the top of our list. We also looked at translation and linguistic needs, both of which Paraguay does have. The field of Paraguay is one of NTM’s oldest, having been opened more than sixty years ago. In recent years they have not been getting many new missionaries. However, the missionaries that are there are optimistically expecting to finish several works and are looking ahead to nearing the closing out of the field. Since there are still several works yet to open, this of course is still many years down the road.

Their excitement has been contagious, and we are excited about being a part of seeing the work of New Tribes Mission come to an end in this country. Having contacted the field and being invited to join their team, we were very excited to learn that two other families and two single ladies from our class here are also headed to Paraguay. Besides us from our class, there are several others from classes before and after us that are headed there or considering it. For some reason, it seems that God has chosen this particular time to direct a handful of His servants to Paraguay. To the left is our prospective timetable for the next couple legs of our journey toward a tribal ministry.
