Chris and Maggie Hostetter In the service of Christ About
We are Chris and Maggie Hostetter and we are missionaries with New Tribes Mission. God has called us to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to tribal peoples that have never heard in Papua New Guinea. We are currently in Orientation in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea and we are learning the national trade language (Tok Pisin) and culture.
We have four children. Micah Aaron (December 4, 2005), Cole Elias (May 20, 2007), Maisie Grace (July 24, 2009), and Bailey Joy (January 26, 2011)
Maggie and I are graduates of Crown College in St. Bonifacius, Minnesota.  We met there in 2001 and tied the knot May 2003. We graduated from Crown in 2005 with B.A.s in Intercultural Studies. We lived in the area and worked for the next three years paying off our school debt so we could enter the New Tribes’ Missionary Training Center.
In the next year we will form a team with other New Tribes missionaries and move into a tribe that has never been taught God’s Word. We will learn their language and their way of life, and then teach them the Bible in their own language. We will disciple believers and work on translating the Bible. Our ultimate goals are to have a Church run by the tribal people, give them a full Bible translated into their tongue, and have that Church sending out its own people as missionaries to the next village and the next tribe.
