Planting tribal churches
"I'm trusting in what Jesus did."
-- Buk, Agta tribe, Philippines
Of the world's 6,500 people groups, 2,500 are still unreached.
New Tribes Mission helps local churches train, coordinate and send missionaries to these tribes.
The NTM missionary team learns the tribal language and understands the culture, so the message of the Gospel can be presented in the language and the manner the people will understand.
They translate God's Word, teach people how to read and write their own language, and teach through the Bible chronologically, laying a foundation for the Gospel among people who have never met the God of the Bible.
Missionaries disciple the new believers, equip them to lead their church, and help them reach out to other villages within their own tribe and to neighbouring tribes.
"I understand that Jesus died for my sins, and I have placed my trust in what He has done for me."
-- Iyepiyaa, Dao tribe, Indonesia

From the very beginning, God linked the ministry of New Tribes Mission with Word of Life through a special relationship which Paul Fleming and Jack Wyrtzen enjoyed. This was possible because of the true commitment of reaching the lost God gave to both of these men.
