To Every Tribe Ministries Vision Statement

 Our ministry mandate is well stated by the Apostle Paul:   

"It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.  Rather, as it is written: Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand." Romans 15:20-21

From this passage we get the following Vision Statement:

To Every Tribe Ministries (TETM) exists to glorify God by preaching the gospel in the still unreached regions and to plant self-lead, self-sustaining, self-reproducing evangelical congregations among them. A vital part of our mission is to mobilize and equip new disciples so that they quickly learn to reproduce and become missionary sending churches themselves.

TETM has many developing facets of ministry, but everything we do is directly intentional to accomplish the mission stated above.

In order to achieve our purpose, we are committed to the following ministries.  Each of these areas of ministry is fully detailed in the appropriate places on this web site. 

● Pioneer Church Planting - We are presently engaged with unreached people groups in Papua New Guinea and Mexico.

● The Center For Pioneer Church Planting (CPCP) – In addition to cross-cultural church planting it is our desire to extend this ministry into the next generation by training new pioneers for the gospel. The CPCP began its first class in January, 2006.

● Short-Term Mission Trips – Short-term mission trips are the “farm system” in which long term church planters often get their initial vision for cross-cultural mission. TETM organizes multiple trips annually into Mexico and Papua New Guinea.

● TETM Sending Agency – As missionaries are recruited, trained and deployed cross-culturally, a well built organization infrastructure is required to send and serve these church planting teams. We are evolving quickly into a full fledged missionary sending agency.
● Ongoing Tribal Research – TETM constantly has its eye on the far-flung places where no name for Christ exists. As we learn of unreached peoples in new areas it is our desire to train missionaries and target these untouched territories. We need trained ethnographers to assist us in locating the places still in most need of the gospel.

Because of the Cross,

To Every Tribe Team
