Nathan & LaNada Tag Reaching out to Tribal Indonesians through Aviation 
How did God lead you to serve with NTM?
Take a look at the family section in our website. It will give you a good picture of the path God has brought us on and why we feel He wants us to serve with NTM.
Where do you feel God is leading you to serve overseas?
We are praying a lot about this and are open to wherever God would have us serve. We do feel a real pull in our hearts toward Indonesia and are daily seeking God’s voice in this area. Other possibilities for us are the Philippines and Papau New Guinea. After we are finished with our training we will have a better idea as to where NTM sees us best fitting in and where the openings are.
How will your children be educated overseas?
Our children will be educated either at a missions school where we are located or if none is available, then LaNada will home school our girls. We strongly feel that they should be with us and involved in the ministry God has called us as a family to.
Is NTM part of a denomination?
New Tribes Mission is non-denominational. A variety of evangelical churches send out missionaries to serve through NTM.
How is it decided where a missionary will serve?
The missionary and their sending church make that decision, in fellowship with the leadership team in the country where they desire to serve. The missionary’s talents, gifts and abilities are considered, especially as they relate to tasks involved in planting tribal churches.
To whom are NTM missionaries accountable? They are accountable to their sending churches through the leadership team in the country where they serve.
Are NTM missionaries salaried?
No. In faith, each missionary looks to the Lord for provision of financial needs. Support comes primarily from sending churches, with additional help from other churches and individuals.
What about benefits?
NTM has group medical and life insurance plans. Missionaries are also required to take part in a 403b retirement plan, and NTM offers advice in this area. NTM also has a retirement center for missionaries in Florida.
How do NTM missionaries raise support?
NTM missionaries are not salaried. In faith, they look to the Lord for provision of their financial needs. They are encouraged to share about their ministry and be open about their needs. Support comes from sending churches and people like you who have a heart for the unreached people of this world.

How much of our financial giving will you receive?
Your donation will be used in full for the expenses of our ministry. None of it is used for administration costs or anything outside of our ministry expenses.
Is my gift tax deductible?
You will receive a tax-deductible receipt for all gifts made payable to New Tribes Missions for the support of us. Personal gifts, marked “birthday” for example, will be received, forwarded and marked as non-tax-deductible.
How much support do you need?
Currently our support requirements are $5000/month. This includes living expenses, traveling, health insurance, life insurance, training costs and food. This amount includes all our expenses including those usually provided in an employer’s benefits package. If you would like a detailed break-down of our ministry expenses please email us and we would be glad to send you that information.
What is your current support level?
We are currently at 30% of our ministry expense level. We need $5000/month and we are currently receiving around $1500/month. We would ask that you pray about being part of our ministry. Our current level of support is well below our needs to live and complete training as well as head overseas shortly after our training is complete. Thankfully we serve a God who holds everything in His hands and will provide. We are confident of that.
