The field
A regional vision, rooted in the local church.
Oaxaca’s mountains and valleys are home to many distinct Indigenous communities, languages, and traditions. Some rural communities remain unreached with the gospel, while established churches need continued biblical teaching, discipleship, and pastoral encouragement.
To Every Tribe works alongside national believers to strengthen local churches and mobilize them for the surrounding region. We love the churches in Oaxaca City and share in their worship, teaching, evangelism, and everyday church life, seeking their maturity and flourishing in Christ.
Alongside this ministry, our teams pursue patient church planting among rural Indigenous communities, including places where Christ is not yet known. The vision is for people to hear the gospel, become disciples of Jesus, and gather into healthy churches led by local believers.
Our strategy
Partner here. Equip leaders. Reach farther.
We share life with local churches, investing in their health and maturity while partnering in gospel witness to unreached rural Indigenous communities.
Equip and mobilize national believers
Train pastors and emerging leaders in Scripture, discipleship, and church planting. Equip national believers to serve existing churches and carry the gospel to unreached rural Indigenous communities.
Plant churches among the unreached
Enter unreached and under-reached rural Indigenous communities with humility. Build trust through shared life and service, proclaim Christ clearly, and nurture believers toward healthy churches led by local Christians.
Our shared framework
Relationships shape the work.
The eight phases of pioneer church planting help teams discern how to serve, build trust, share the gospel, and nurture believers toward maturity and local leadership.
