Here at NTM, as we celebrate 75 years since the mission was founded, we\u2019re reflecting on what God has accomplished in missions down through the years \u2014 and we\u2019re even getting a bit nostalgic about our heritage.<\/p>\n
As I\u2019ve read back over our history, NTM\u2019s founders\u2019 vision continues to challenge me:<\/p>\n
\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 (Brown Gold magazine, Issue 1, May 1943)<\/p>\n
Do you hear the commitment behind those words? And the vision? What a far-reaching vision that represents God\u2019s heart for the world and a vision that\u2019s worth getting passionate about. And that is still our vision today!<\/p>\n

As we look to the next 75 years, we move forward with that same vision \u2014 but with a new name. \u00a0Yes, we have a new name! We are now Ethnos360 \u2014 and we\u2019re excited about it. Our leadership explains it well:<\/p>\n
Ethnos360<\/em><\/strong> is the name that anchors us to our foundations and points us to our vision.<\/p>\n Ethnos<\/em><\/strong> 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 And 360<\/em><\/strong> 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 I\u2019m not one that likes change for change\u2019s sake, but I like our new name. It really does anchor us to our foundations and point to our vision. And it speaks to who we are. (And our new coffee mugs are really cool!)<\/p>\n Speaking of change, if you\u2019ve not already heard, our home office moved back in February. \u00a0Not far. Only about 10 blocks. But this is another change I\u2019m loving. We have more room, fewer people crammed into small spaces, and it is so much quieter.<\/p>\n I’m looking forward to sitting at my new desk writing and editing for many years to come! Thanks for partnering with me so that I can do just that.<\/p>\n…that speaks to who we are.<\/h2>\n
