Do you know when I became Theo?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Three-year-old Teddy & sister Marianne.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When dad and mom Enns first went to Brazil as missionaries with New Tribes Mission in 1958, they called me Teddy. But when I entered 7th<\/sup> grade I thought I had grown up, so I insisted on being called Theodore … all the way through high school. At Bible School in Brazil I was known as Tiago (my middle name in Portuguese). But as I began missionary training, I changed to being called Theo.\u00a0So I know names change.<\/p>\n

This year is the 75th<\/sup> anniversary of New Tribes Mission, founded in 1942. Now there are international \u201chome offices\u201d in many countries, like our sending office in Durham, Ontario. In some countries, our mission name has changed even beyond a direct translation into another language like: Miss\u00e3o Novas Tribos do Brasil. In Africa, we serve now under the name: Vision Int\u00e9grale (which can be translated as: Comprehensive Vision). In the United States, the mission name has now been changed to Ethnos360. (In Greek ethnos <\/em>means ethnic people or nations; & we seek to reach them 360o<\/sup> around the world.) NTM Canada is pursuing a similar name change, soon. But for now, our home office web site is https:\/\/canada.ntm.org<\/a> ; and the American office site is www.ethnos360.org<\/a> . You can learn about our mission\u2019s history there; or more about our personal history on our\u00a0About page.<\/p>\n
