2021-22: See God’s Faithfulness!

2021-22: See God’s Faithfulness!

Reflecting on 2021-2022, we have seen a lot of changes in our circumstances, but also God’s unchanging faithfulness.

New Name, Same Message

New Name, Same Message

It’s Official!  NTM’s new name is “Ethnos360!” With 80% of remaining unreached people groups now in countries actively opposed to Christian missionaries, we believe the new name will remove some barriers and stigmas for believers serving in these contexts.  “A thriving church for every people” continues to be the core reason for our existence.  (Note […]

Come and See!

Thanks so much for taking the time to pray for our lives and ministries.  As always, our most important request is that we each stay close to the Lord, letting the Holy Spirit guide our priorities and words.  It is easy to get busy doing good things in our own strength instead. New Tribes Bible […]
