To Every Tribe with Jesus: Understanding and Reaching Tribal Peoples for Christ (David Sitton)
For anyone who aspires to serve in foreign missions, particularly to unreached tribes and people-groups, here is one of the most important books you can ever read. The author has devoted the last 32 years of his life to reaching such groups. Foreword by Dr. Ralph Winter.
“Out of his 32 years of learning-while-doing among various tribes of Papua New Guinea, David Sitton provides a handbook for tribal ministry that is both informative and intensely practical. Our passion to reach the remaining unreached tribes will surely grow as the lessons David sets forth are absorbed. The planting of strong New Testament churches among them will be speeded along as these well-attested lessons are applied! I urge all missions-aware Christians to both read To Every Tribe With Jesus and then recommend it to others.”
— Don Richardson, veteran missionary and author of Peace Child.$13.75 -
The Good News Must Go Out (Rebecca Davis)
From one old woman’s prayer a young girl was brought to faith, a missionary was sent to Africa and then a church was born from among the people of Central Africa. Missionaries from the West came with the message of Jesus Christ – but it was the men and women saved from cannibalism, the young boys who herded goats and who carted water who really brought the Good News even farther to more and more villages and homesteads in Africa — and the Good News must go out.
