Philippines Tribe Reaches Its Own | 26

For more than five decades, there has been a growing church in the Tagbanwa tribe of the Philippines. New Tribes  Mission (NTM) and Wycliffe missionaries worked together for years to translate the Bible, establish a medical programme, and guide the Tagbanwa people to Chris.                                                                                                                              Nearly 1,300 Tagbanwas are now believers but more than 7,000 are still unreached. Tagbanwa believers have a vision to reach the rest of their tribe. But for this to happen they need ministry training and the ability to be self-supporting. To make their vision a reality, the Integrated Tagbanwa  Project has been established. The ITP has three aspects: biblical training and discipleship, community medical care and agriculture and animal husbandry.                                                                                                                                                            With support from a Korean church, NTM has developed a solarpowered system that will provide lighting for the training centre, including the dorms, staff housing, training hall, chicken and goat houses and a phone charging station. Mission Network News
