ANDRÉ AND BANWAON PEOPLE

Andre in Mindanao South
Philippines February 2012

Our son André (23) who has finished his course at Moorlands College based in South east England is now living in Australia.

He is engaged with Sara (21) a missionary daughter. He met Sara when he went to Philippines in 2013 for his final year block placement. 

He has chosen to do an overseas mission trip to the Philippines among the Banwaon people, which is a tribal people group found somewhere in the Island of Mindanao in the South Philippines.

André spent 4 weeks living amongst this tribe, plus 3 days each way for travel and stayed with Sara's parents.

Sara's parents have been missionaries among Banwaon people for the last 16 years.

André and Sara got married this year (September 2015) in Australia and they would like to be involved in missionary work. 

Viriato and Janet.

Planting Tribal Churches:

Of the world's 6,500 people groups, 2,500 are still unreached. NTM helps churches train, coordinate and send missionaries to these tribes.

We minister among unreached groups:

In 2,500 of the world’s 6,500 people groups, there is no church or any work being done to establish a church. These are the people among whom New Tribes Mission works.

We work in the tribal culture and language:

They are isolated from the Gospel. Missionaries must learn their language and understand their culture in order to clearly present the Gospel and effectively plant a church.

We present foundational Bible teaching:

Unreached people have no concept of the God of the Bible. So Chronological Bible teaching presents a foundation for understanding Jesus’ death and resurrection.

We establish mature Churches:

Following the pattern seen in Acts, missionaries seek to establish mature churches that can become agents of change in their communities and of the Great Commission.

A Bible education at the New Tribes Bible Institute:
