5. Does To Every Tribe only work with tribal groups?
Our primary focus is to target people groups and locations where there are no evangelical churches. While tribal ministries have been a focus of To Every Tribe through the years, we do not work exclusively with tribals. For example, several of our current areas of ministry in Mexico are not with tribal groups, but they are in places where the Gospel of Jesus Christ has not been made known.  (back to top)

6. I think I might be called to full-time missionary service. What should be my next steps?
We suggest your first step is to approach the leadership of your local church for their counsel. You may also inquire about our missionary training school, the Center for Pioneer Church Planting, a unique program that endeavors to train and mentor cross-cultural missionaries for the remaining unreached regions where there is no gospel.

7. What can To Every Tribe do for me that my local church can’t do?
We want to encourage and come alongside the local church in the spread of the gospel to all nations. To Every Tribe can supply opportunities that most local churches are unable to provide, including ‘on-the-field’ training for those interested in long-term cross-cultural ministry. In addition to helping in the training process, To Every Tribe is a sending agency that handles missionary support and the acquisition of work permits and visas. (back to top)

8. What are To Every Tribe’s primary areas of ministry?
Our primary purpose is to train missionaries who can then establish evangelical churches in the unreached regions of Mexico and Papua New Guinea. We do this primarily by training and equipping missionaries at the Center for Pioneer Church Planting and through targeted short-term mission trips. Another part of our mission includes equipping existing churches to become missionary sending churches themselves.  (back to top)
