Hundreds visit tribal village

June 24, 2011 by Rex and Shirley Schaffner

Piom's villageRemember the first time you ever told someone about Jesus? Excitement, anticipating their response, praying for the right words and understanding, hoping they would believe and be born again. It is a privilege isn’t it? Well this week, NTBI sent a team of incredible staff and students to The Big Ticket Music Festival to represent NTM and NTBI. They will experience the same excitement, as they have opportunity to talk about what God is doing in tribes around the world. They have set up a tribal village and will offer tours every 15 minutes or so, so visiters can interact with Piom, a “Kaulong” man. Why is he here in America? As he explains through an “interpreter”, he is looking for more missionaries to go to Papua New Guinea to tell the 100’s of un-reached people groups (UPG’s) about Jesus. There is so much work to be done, not only in PNG but in so many countries. Can you believe it, there are still approximmately 2,500 UPG’s, without the first Word of God in their heart language.  

After the tour, our team will answer questions and encourage the participants to consider joining in the work of taking the Gospel to some of those language groups. A good first step is to attend NTBI and study the Bible for two years. Thereafter, NTM’s Missionary Training Center in Missouri will complete the preparation needed to learn a language and culture well enough to be able to teach the Bible and present the Gospel. For more information, please visit www.ntm.org.

Please join us in praying that as a result of our team serving at The Big Ticket, more students will attend New Tribes Bible Institute and be willing to go to the ends of the earth for the Lord. Thanks so much!
