Daily Scripture
 
"I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I wil praise You among many people."

Psalm 35:18

Near the Bena Village in PNG

Who could have imagined? 15 years ago, in January 1993, we set out to get some Bible Training at New Tribes Bible Institute ...now we have the privilege of helping train followers of Christ, many of whom will become tribal church planters, taking the Gospel of Christ to the remote parts of the earth. 

"To God be the Glory, great things He has done! So loved He the world that He gave us His Son!"

This line of the hymn takes on an awesome new flavor when considering that He gave His Son for all mankind, even those without the first Word of God in their language. What a joy to serve our God in this way, establishing believers in the Word of God to the point of them seeing that God wants the world to know Him personally, and then being willing to take this knowledge to those without it.

Thanks for visiting and for your interest. May you know the love and grace of God in a very real way today. Thanks for praying that tribes without that knowledge will know Him soon too. Many of our co-workers are studying strange languages and cultures today so that they may teach tribal people about God and His Son Jesus tomorrow. Want to be a part? Ask God how...and then surf the NTM site...chances are there is a spot for you! Or email us and we will point you in the right direction.

For the Un-reached!

Inanbimali tribe, Papua New Guinea (December 1, 2008)
Nine believers stood in the face of opposition this week and were baptized. Please pray that the faith and strength they showed will encourage other believers and be a testimony to unbelievers. Find out more -- read the story >>

Kuna tribe, Panama (December 1, 2008)
Four Kuna believers traveled over muddy, difficult trails to be missionaries to their own people in a village that once refused missionaries. There are now 14 new adult believers. One couple reported teaching evangelistic Bible lessons to a group of more than 100 children. Praise God for His work and pray for a continuing ministry in this village.
