OBSERVING, LEARNING ABOUT TRIBAL CHURCH PLANTING

Next month a Mission Focus team will arrive in Senegal and begin the unique experience of observing tribal church planting first-hand for three weeks.

Missionary Heiko Hagemann is leading the team of 15 members between the ages of 17 and 30 from Germany. Missionaries Dave and Kathy Lanham will host the team and help coordinate their activities while in Senegal.

Experienced missionaries will teach modules on cross-cultural church planting, culture and language acquisition, Bible translation and literacy. There will also be sessions on various logistic ministries and how those ministries accelerate the church planting effort.

Visiting a tribal village will give team members an opportunity to meet with tribal believers and practice techniques they've learned in communicating with tribal people in their language.

The primary focus of the mission trip is to help team members observe God at work among tribal people and take home a desire to be more deeply involved in tribal missions. Many missionaries serving around the world were challenged by their Mission Focus experience.

Pray that God will work in the hearts of the team members and they will take home a passion for tribal missions.
