In June, he will be home on break and will be taking a short trip to the Pai tribe with Mike and 3 other students from the Institute. Please be praying for Israel and his church here in Paraguay.

Equipping, a lifelong journey

God is using these 3 young Paraguayans to pioneer a new paradigm in their country. They have stepped far outside the comforts of their country and have chosen to be equipped for cross-cultural ministries. We have the privilege of coaching each of them during this lengthy process; watching them grow, listening as they tell stories of joyful times and tremendous hardships, and yet through it all, they continue to press on in faith, desiring to glorify God by introducing Him people groups whom have never heard of their real Creator and Maker.

The New Tribes Bible Institute (NTBI) and Missionary Training Center (MTC) exist to train the people passionate about God’s glory and reaching the nations with the gospel of grace. God has used many graduates (from 9 different training centers around the world) to plant churches in countries all over the world.

We both attended the NTBI in Waukesha, Wisconsin: Mike from 1996-1998 and Trisha from 2000-2001. There we received a solid biblical foundation and heard daily about the needs among tribal people all around the world.

Together as a newlyweds, we attended the MTC from 2001-2003. At the MTC, we were equipped  to overcome communication barriers such as worldviews, culture, language and living in remote locations so as to plant a church with all the tools necessary to grow in grace and maturity.

Even today, after 6 years of ministry in Paraguay with NTM, the growth and equipping process continues as we gain greater insight into Gods precious Word and its practical outworking in ministry at the local church level.

So whether you are considering missions or just want a solid Biblical foundation for life, consider attending NTBI, and continue your lifelong journey of glorifying Christ!

To God be the Glory,

Mike & Trisha Goddard
