Missionaries

'And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."' Matthew 28:18-20

This command was given by our Lord and is known by many as the Great Commission. It is often the basis for missionary involvement and certainly the words that God has used to have people serving Him. We support and number of missionaries on the field.

Martin & Julie Field -
Argentina

We live in the city of Córdoba,  Argentina. Córdoba is the second largest city in Argentina, with about 1.5 million people. The city has many university students - more than 100,000 - that come from many parts of Argentina and even other countries. We work with ABUA, the national student movement, seeking to encourage students in their witness for Jesus in the university. We currently have three small groups meeting weekly on campus, plus we meet once a month for prayer and training. Our desire is to see Argentine students come to know Jesus and be equipped for a lifetime of service of the gospel.

Cameron & Carmel Mackenzie -
The Flynn Patrol SA

Our patrol in SA covers a large area. We visit stations north of Port Augusta, out to the NSW, NT and QLD borders. There are approximately 250 stations we visit, but each station may have anywhere from 1 person to 20 people (including workers), so all in all there are a vast range of people we minister to.

We are enjoying our ministry with PIM thus far and have developed many worthwhile friendships with out contacts. We appreciate the support from our friends and family in the Church and ask that you “pray for us too that God may open a door for our message so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ” Colossians 4:3

Jason & Jenny Minnis -
Indonesia

Of the world's 6,500 people groups, 2,500 are still unreached. New Tribes Mission helps local churches train, coordinate and send missionaries to these tribes. The NTM missionary team learns the tribal language and understands the culture, so the message of the Gospel can be presented in the language and the manner the people will understand.

They translate God's Word, teach people how to read and write their own language, and teach through the Bible chronologically, laying a foundation for the Gospel among people who have never met the God of the Bible. Missionaries disciple the new believers, equip them to lead their church, and help them reach out to other villages within their own tribe and to neighboring tribes.
