“Ee-Taow!” Do you remember seeing this tremendous video about the Mouk tribe and how they came to faith in Christ?
If we did not show it to you, we invite you to watch it on the New Tribes Mission web site. View www.ntm.org then click “Videos & Photos.”
The Mouk churches are continuing on with what they have been taught. They reached out with the Gospel to all 24 villages of their own language and have sent eighteen missionary families to people of other languages.
NTM missionaries Rick and Anji Zook partnered with three Mouk missionary families and presented the Gospel in the Lusi tribe in 2013. Three more Mouk missionary families were sent to strengthen that team. Six more Mouk families have been sent to learn the language of the Kombe people. Another six Mouk families have been sent to learn the language and culture of the Anem people.
It is a huge step of faith for these families to venture into the unknown with limited training, leaving their property, families and security behind. They do it for the sake of the God who is worthy and the eternal life of the lost.
It is thrilling to see tribal believers become missionaries to other unreached tribes! Isn’t this what Matthew 28:20 and 2 Timothy 2:2 are all about?
Matthew 28:20
… teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
2 Timothy 2:2
The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. NASB
