NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

Randy with Aché friends.

During the past twenty-plus years we’ve had the opportunity to be involved in various ministries in Paraguay among the Aché and Chamacoco Indians, and in the field’s mission main office.

Our responsibilities have included: tribal language and culture study, Bible teaching, medical work, Indian school teacher, computer technician, tribal station bookkeeper, supply buyer, NTM Paraguay government representative, NTM Paraguay Print Shop, Guest House Hostess, and Field Paper editor.

Randy’s current ministries include:

• • e2 CLA Consultant: e2 refers to the stage of continued preparation and training that a missionary undergoes when he arrives on his field of service. CLA refers to Culture/Language Acquisition.  Randy works as a consultant in this stage, working with new missionaries to Paraguay, helping them learn to apply language learning principles so they can work effectively cross-culturally in their future ministries.
• • Working with and finding Host Churches for en route missionaries.
• • Helping with the NTM Paraguay Mobilization Department as we seek to equip and help local Christians and churches learn about missions and how to effectively share the Gospel, disciple, and translate the Word of God.
• • Encouragement/hospitality ministry to fellow missionaries that come to town for paperwork, medical needs, or short breaks.

Laurie’s current ministries include:

• • Guest House Hostess — oversight of the mission guest house, its upkeep and scheduling.
• • NTM Paraguay representative to the Christian school where some of our MKs attend.  She is currently serving as the Board Chairman.
• • Help in our mission Print Shop, where we print scripture portions, literacy materials, teaching helps, and Bible lessons in various tribal languages.
• • Encouragement/hospitality ministry to fellow missionaries that come to town for paperwork, medical needs, or short breaks.
