It is a privilege to be involved in reaching people with the gospel and church planting among people groups that have not had the opportunity to hear God’s Word.
We have been working with NTM’s Personnel Dept. for the last 9 years. Our goal is to encourage and enable missionaries to complete the work that God has given them by providing the support needed from the Personnel Dept.
New Tribes Mission’s Personnel Department focuses on NTM’s most valuable asset, NTM missionaries. Our goal is to provide the logistical support each NTM missionary needs in the following ways:
• Assisting and encouraging missionaries during times of transition
o New missionaries
o Missionaries re-entering the USA for times of Home Assignment
o Missionaries returning to their field of service
o Missionaries with changes in their families or addresses
o Missionaries changing fields
o Missionaries changing ministries
o Retiring missionaries
o Missionaries who are resigning from NTM
• Assisting supporting churches, organizations and individuals
o Providing information about various kinds of support needed by their missionaries.
o Coordinating special support during times of transition.
o Providing communication support between missionaries and supporters.
• Assisting in personnel allocation.
• Handling regulatory compliance for the missionaries and NTM-like being a government representative would be on the field, only here in the US.
• Providing needed documentation and communication with other organizations and government entities.
Along with our responsibilities as a part of NTM’s Personnel Dept, we are also involved in MK and Friends youth group. This group provides MKs an opportunity to work together and study God’s Word as part of a local youth group. They also are encouraged to reach out to their friends with the gospel. We are excited to see new kids coming out, and as a group graduates each year, many are choosing to be involved in Bible School training or further Christian Education or service.
