NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

Almost a year ago we graduated from the New Tribes Missionary Training.  The waiting to head over seas has been years and years.  The waiting for tribal people to here a Creators Talk of hope and reconciliation, justice and salvation, over 15 years.  Many tribal people have been waiting for this liberating message for over 15 years. Why God?

The article below is huge part of why we desire to serve in Africa.  Be encouraged to know that all over the world NTM is sending out Missionaries to the unreached.  Yet the harvest is plentiful and the laborers few.  When certain things come up causing us to lose focus on the task, we get encouraged by the passage below to keep moving forward to be apart of this great commission.

“We want to hear this creators Talk.  We want it so much that we are waiting for the time that you, along with the Bible teachers, will bring it to us.  When the time comes that you are ready to tell us of the Creators message, just send us word and we will come.  We will gather everybody from our area.  We will all hike the trails all the way down to where you are and we will live in your area for as long as two (moons) months.  We will do this all just so we can hear the Creator’s message.  If you would rather hike to our territory and tell us in our own houses, we will wait for you here.  When you come, we will provide everything you need, including food, so that you can live among us.  We will provide for you so that you can stay and we can finally hear this big message.  We want to hear this message, and even now we wait for the day you can teach it to us”–EKAPITAA, unreached tribe in Indonesia.

Sometimes we can easily be burdened by the tasks or thoughts of learning Portuguese, raising financial support, being away from friends and family for years, and even sickness.  When we hear of  fellow missionaries fighting the good fight and putting there lives on the line for tribal people all around the world, we are encouraged.  And as the Lord says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”.

 

Our prayer requests-

1.  Continue to pray for our health and strength as we prepare with only 47 days left.

2.  Worship keeps our minds focused.  Pray for time with our Lord to be held firm.

3.  Our continued financial support.  We are still looking for ministry partners monthly.

4. Last minute prep and stress to be dealt with appropriatly
