As we celebrate 75 years since NTM was founded, we’re excited at what God has done and continues to do in missions around the world. We’re also excited to share that our mission has a new name. We are now Ethnos360<\/a>. Below is an explanation from our leadership concerning the vision behind our new name.<\/p>\n

Why have we changed our name to Ethnos360 from New Tribes Mission USA? Because we\u2019re positioning to reach a changing world. Our founders had a vision for reaching the world: \u201cBy unflinching determination we hazard our lives and gamble all for Christ until we have reached the last tribe regardless of where that tribe might be.\u201d (NTM magazine<\/a>, Issue 1, May 1943) That\u2019s a far-reaching vision. A vision that represents God\u2019s heart for the world. A vision that\u2019s worth our getting passionate about and working together to make it a reality. That vision hasn\u2019t changed, but the world has. We face new challenges, and we are learning to face them together \u2014 relying upon God to unite His people to overcome them for His glory.<\/p>\n

Ethnos360<\/a> is the name that anchors us to our foundations and points us to our vision.<\/p>\n

Ethnos is the \u201cnations\u201d that Christ referred to when He commanded His followers to \u201cmake disciples of all nations\u201d (Matthew 28:19) and \u201c…that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all the nations\u2026\u201d (Luke 24:47).<\/p>\n

360 represents the entirety of the globe \u2014 all 360 degrees. Our goal is to go wherever in the world is necessary to see a thriving church for every people, not only to focus on one particular type of people group.<\/p>\n

Our vision is the same today as it was 75 years ago. As we move forward, we\u2019ll draw from those lessons God has taught us in our 75 years of ministry to pursue new opportunities opening to us. Opportunities to reach a changing world.<\/p>\n

Together let\u2019s continue to embrace God\u2019s vision of reaching the whole world as we passionately pursue Him and His goals.<\/p>\n
