New Tribes Mission is a Protestant Christian missionary organization that primarily focuses on evangelization and church planting among unreached indigenous tribes around the world. Established in the mid-20th century, their mission is to reach these remote tribes with the message of Jesus Christ, establishing sustainable churches and providing compassionate aid to alleviate physical and spiritual needs.
The organization operates by sending teams of missionaries, who undergo rigorous training in cross-cultural communication, linguistics, and Bible translation, to regions where indigenous tribes reside. These missionaries strive to immerse themselves within the cultures and languages of the tribes, ultimately aiming to translate the Bible and other Christian literature into the native tongues. In doing so, they seek to facilitate understanding and acceptance of the Christian faith while respecting local traditions and customs.
New Tribes Mission embodies a holistic approach, recognizing the importance of meeting physical needs such as healthcare, education, clean water, and agricultural assistance alongside spiritual outreach. This approach fosters trust and builds relationships within the communities, allowing for effective evangelization and discipleship.
The organization's underlying philosophy is based on the belief that indigenous tribes who have had limited or no contact with the outside world deserve the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel. New Tribes Mission is committed to long-term engagement in these areas, training local believers to become leaders and ministers within their own communities.
Overall, New Tribes Mission dedicates its efforts to sharing the love of Christ, providing humanitarian aid, and establishing thriving churches among indigenous tribes in remote and unreached regions worldwide.
