To Every Tribe with Jesus: Understanding and Reaching Tribal Peoples for Christ (David Sitton)

To Every Tribe with Jesus

Understanding and Reaching Tribal Peoples for Christ

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 sped 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

About the Author

Pioneer church planting has been the focus and passion of David Sitton ever since his first adventure in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 1977. David married Tommi in 1980 and, over the course of four decades, they helped plant more than 30 churches in the remote, and oftentimes hostile, highland and coastal regions of PNG. In the early 1990s, David served as director of The Institute of Tribal Studies, a ministry of the U.S. Center for World Mission in Pasadena, CA. In 1993, David and Tommi returned to their South Texas roots. They strategically relocated just twenty minutes from the Mexican border and began church-planting efforts in Northern Mexico.

To Every Tribe has been David and Tommi’s battle cry from the beginning.  The organization by that name was founded in the early 2000s. In 2006, the Sittons spearheaded the Center for Pioneer Church Planting (CPCP), the missionary training program of To Every Tribe.  Its work is dedicated to the training and launching of pioneer church planters to the nearly 7,000 unreached people groups where Christ is still unknown.

David currently serves as To Every Tribe’s Director of Strategic Vision, teaches in the CPCP, assists with church planting activities, conducts leadership training in PNG, and is a frequent speaker at many churches and conferences around the world. David is also author of Reckless Abandon. He and Tommi live in Los Fresnos, TX, and have three adult children and three grandchildren.
