Chances are you have heard something about the New Tribes Missions but are still unsure just exactly what it is they do or how they help. Maybe you do know a little bit about them and now you want to get involved too. Read on to learn more about the ways New Tribe Mission is making a difference.

First, New Tribes Mission is an Evangelistic Christian Mission organization based out of Sanford, Florida. Right now there is nearly 3,300 missionaries working in 20 different nations. As you can see missionary is going above and beyond.

To further understand New Tribes Mission it is important to know what their personal purpose is: “Motivated by the love of Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, NTM exists to assist the ministry of the local church through the mobilizing, equipping, and coordinating of missionaries to evangelize unreached people groups, translate the Scriptures, and see indigenous New Testament churches established that truly glorify God.”  In short, is working the spread the word of God in remote places by building relationships, offering help, and teaching natives to write and read in their own language.

New Tribes Mission focuses on finding areas with no translation of the Bible. After such a  group has been found the mission quickly begins making contact by establishing relationships with the tribe. Soon after, professionally trained missionaries are sent to the tribe. While there they learn the language and culture of the natives. They also offer needed humanitarian aid. Over time the relationship grows, missionaries begin to translate the Bible into the native language. The overall goal of the New Tribes Missions is to set the ground for a completely functional church that is complete separate from the mission. Setting up a church will allow the locals to share the word beyond their tribe and to neighboring tribes as well.    

More information and how to get involved with the New Tribe Missions can be found on line through their website at www.ntm.org. This page has a vast amount of information. You can share it with your church or small group to see how you can get involved with the great things they are doing.
