OUR MINISTRY: The Ministry of Reconciliation! Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. -2 Cor 5:20-21a The Ministry of Grace! "To believe, and to consent to be loved while unworthy, is the the great secret. To be disappointed in yourself is to have believed in yourself. To be proud is to be blind! For we have no standing before God, in ourselves. To preach devotion first, and blessing second, is to reverse God's order, and preach law, not grace." -Newell The Ministry of Hope! Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so we may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. -Hebrews 6:17-20 Our Important Message: God's message of grace has been freely revealed to mankind through His Son Jesus. God has given us all things freely and all man must do is believe on Christ, who died on the cross and rose again to save us from an eternity of torment. The church is entrusted with the mandate to carry this important message to the uttermost parts of the earth, confident the gates of hell cannot defeat the Word of God. God has confounded the wise by choosing to use the church for his purposes, and we are honored trophies of God's grace and wisdom bound in His service by the love of God. Our Ministry Philosophy: God desires all men to have the opportunity to hear the message of His salvation. He made this clear in Acts 1 when Christ informs His disciples they will be His witnesses "both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." (Acts 1:8) Unfortunately, the final part of this verse has yet to be fulfilled. The remotest parts of the world remain untouched by the life-giving message of grace. Today 3,000 people groups remain isolated from the gospel. It is our urgent goal to reach these people with good news they so desperately need to hear. Our Ministry Vehicle: New Tribes Mission offers what many in Christian circles consider the best training possible for cross-cultural ministry (testimonies). God is using many organizations globally to get His message out, but we have chosen to utilize the tools and experience that New Tribes has to offer because we feel it combines true, time-tested strategies with biblical theology. We have our sights set on an unreached people group, and New Tribes Mission is helping us to get there, but only though our partnership with YOU will we arrive at this final goal. Our Ministry Partners: Besides the Holy Spirit, YOU are the driving force behind our ministry. Ultimately behind every great missionary endeavor is a multitude of believers praying and giving. We thank God for you, the partners He has raised up for us and trust Him to provide for our needs as we follow the commands we find in His Word. Thank-you for your love and care as we begin this journey with you! See a short article in NTM's quarterly magazine that features us here (page 22). Ways YOU can be involved! pray give go |
