Tribal Training Institute

Organization

Partners International

Reaching remote tribal peoples in India who are physically cut-off and socially cast-off, living marginalized lives of poverty. First-generation believers are discipled then sent back to their people and surrounding villages. Workers are bi-vocational and establish vibrant communities of faith. They open the doors to the gospel and improve people’s well-being with complimentary initiatives (e.g. Jesus Film, clean water projects, medical outreaches).

Prayer Points

• Effective witness of tribal missionaries in the face of persecution
• Courage for new believers who face anti-conversion laws
• Effective penetration of the gospel among unengaged and unreached people groups
• Creative ways to share the Bible with people who are preliterate

Prayer Points

• Protection of believers, especially those of Muslim backgrounds threatened by persecution

East Africa Nomadic Outreach

Organization

SIM

Focused on the unreached people in a remote region of East Africa, where there are few believers, strong pressures to return to Islam, nomadic lifestyles making discipleship difficult, and prejudices against them. The goals are to share the gospel, establish systematic studies of God’s word, and heal rifts and mobilize evangelical churches to bless the tribal people. Leaders and pastors are trained. Creative storytelling materials are being created to improve literacy and make the Bible relatable.

Prayer Points

• Ethiopian churches to continue catching God’s passion for tribal people
• Amidst the humanitarian and political turmoil in the region, for God to bring peace and continue working through believers
• Unity and goal focus among the national organization as it grows

Prayer Points
