“In February 2006, after four-and-a-half years of culture and language study, we once again faced the Moi people with nervous excitement and said, “Hear us well Moi people. For we bring you a message from the Creator. He loves you and has something He wants to say to you. ‘In the beginning ….'” (Stephen Crockett, NTM Missionary to the Moi – May 4, 2010 – www.ntm.org/magazine/10825)
The Moi people are an example of an isolated people who have come to believe in Jesus Christ as Savior. It would take years of language and culture study to get to the point of being able to teach any truth from the Word of God. It would take many more months of teaching from the Bible, starting from the book of Genesis and ending at the cross of Christ. It will take many more years to get this new church firmly established in their faith in Jesus Christ.
Listen to AWAYO’s testimony in his own heart language. He is now a believer in Jesus Christ.
AWAYO – Fear to Faith (English subtitles) from New Tribes Mission on Vimeo.
AWAYO, as a new believer in Jesus Christ, realized that there are many more people like him who do not know that Jesus died for them – to pay their sin debt. He would ask a very compelling question: “Who will tell them?”
Sadly, there are still over 2,500 people groups that remain unreached. They live life in constant fear. They live life in bondage to their beliefs. They live in total spiritual darkness. They live without knowing about the love of God found in Jesus Christ.
- Not a single missionary is there to learn their language and culture.
- Not a single missionary is there to shine the light of God’s truth into their darkness.
Why are Sue and I devoting the rest of our lives to training missionaries? The answer is “for the sake of the Gospel.” The answer is to train and send workers into the unreached fields of the world.
Jesus said, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields.” (Matt 9:37-38)
The Lord has called us into a training ministry with New Tribes Mission. We are missionaries training future missionaries in answer to our Lord’s charge.
