“New Tribes Mission (NTM) is a Christian organisation whose aim is to take the message of the Bible to remote people groups of the world. To do this it is necessary to learn (mostly unwritten) languages, produce an alphabet and translate the Bible with the end goal of teaching the people and seeing independent churches established within these groups.
The name, New Tribes Mission, is used because the work is mainly among ‘tribal’ people groups. The focus therefore is on ‘new tribes’, who do not have the Bible in their language and haven’t had the opportunity to hear the Christian message presented clearly.
New Tribes Mission offers a variety of training and service opportunities. Teachers, accountants, pilots, secretaries, builders, cooks and many others are needed to back up and enable missionaries to work in rugged, isolated areas. This opens up opportunities for NTM UK to send out teams and individuals on short-term mission trips to help in many different countries.
The work of NTM is financially supported by individuals and churches. The overseas work of New Tribes Mission among remote people groups takes many forms. Many of these groups have little or no medical help and this often becomes part of the missionaries’ work in remote villages. Some missionaries also help the people learn ways of earning their own income, so they can improve their standard of self-sufficient living.
