Our Training with New Tribes Mission

Our first two years of training were spent at New Tribes Bible Institute, where we studied Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, with an emphasis on tribal missions.
Our next two years were spent at New Tribes Missionary Training Centre in Durham, ON Canada. Emphasized here is spiritual growth and practical skills, which are vital in this ministry. The first year focuses on Biblical foundations and principles of church planting, and tools and methods for Culture and Language acquisition in the second year.
