This edition of Ekballo magazine is filled with powerful stories, frontline updates, and reflections from our missionaries serving across the globe. Each article in this edition offers a window into the work God is doing through To Every Tribe—calling, sending, and sustaining His people for the sake of the gospel. As you read, we pray their stories of faith and sacrifice will encourage, challenge, and move you to join in the mission through prayer, giving, and going.

This edition of Ekballo magazine outlines To Every Tribe’s regional approach to church planting. This approach enables missionaries to set-up a support system needed for long-term church planting in unreached and complex areas.

This edition of Ekballo magazine outlines eight key phases of pioneer church planting, designed to help missionaries build meaningful relationships and establish healthy, reproducing churches among unreached people groups. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all strategy, it walks through a relational approach that starts with showing up well, building trust, and having spiritual conversations, then moves toward sharing the gospel, nurturing new believers, and equipping local leaders. Each phase is rooted in real-world experience and focused on long-term impact, not short-term results. Whether you’re preparing to go or supporting those who already have, this guide will help you better understand the work and pray with greater clarity.
