In His Steps: July Sawade Family Update

Happy July 4th!!!

Grandpa and Grandma Sawade came to visit us from New York!

The boys had so much fun! We went out to dinner, had icecream at the Parlor,
the boys played putt-putt , we went swimming at the hotel where G &G were staying and
watched the fireworks in the front lawn of our church here in Jackson!

Why Tribal Missions?

So why are we willing to go and live in the middle of nowhere for years, far removed from our families, even from civilization?

Because we’re convinced that God desires every people group on earth to have the opportunity to know Him. He has provided one way for that to happen: by believing that His Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross to pay the penalty of our sins. Nothing apart from that makes us acceptable to God. We know that without someone like us going to these remote people groups, the message of Christ’s death will never be heard.

Matthew 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit , teaching them to observe all that I commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Romans 10:14 "How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”

We desire to be a part of the NTM tribal church planting endeavor there. Incredibly, Papua New Guinea has a total of over 850 languages. Of those languages, 700 have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and 500 of those languages don’t even have a chance to hear because they lack the Word of God in their own mother tongue. We hope by God’s grace, to take part in planting an indigenous church among one of PNG’s isolated tribes.

We strongly believe that God’s desire is for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. We hope to be used of God to make Him known in Papua New Guinea.
