THE FALLIS FILES [new 10/96]
http://www.npi.net/~fallis/
This morning, the sun came up in Papua New Guinea just as it has for hundreds of years: blazing over the ocean near the islands; darting through the gaps in the trees and leaves and vines of the Sepik River jungles; creeping over ridge after ridge after ridge in the Highlands. Tomorrow it will do the same. Thousands of tribal people live on those islands, in those jungles, below those ridges, and life seems to change little there. Many still live in darkness. Almost 2,000 years after Jesus Christ gave His life that all who call on His name may be saved, nearly 2,000 years after He told His followers to make disciples of all nations, many of these tribes have never heard the gospel. -- Ian Fallis, The Fallis Files. You may wish to consider a career in international missions, and maybe you need some answers. Or you may have already decided that The Great Commission is crucial to life and wish to be more closely involved in seeing that hope more fully realized personally. There's a good chance that you'll find answers for both at this site. The Fallis' provide information about one of most dedicated mission organizations, New Tribes Missions, and about Papua New Guinea -- the needs for help, the geography, an overview of religious practices, language, economy, and health needs amongst the people of PNG. Provided are answers about who the Fallis family is, and why they are committed missionary elects to PNG. Reading the News Updates and Travelogues provides valuable insights into the process of deputation, visiting various churches and groups: work necessary to attain the funding necessary to live overseas, fellowship through sharing the hope of salvation, ministry to fellow Church members. Why should I care? Provided are the Scripture imperatives. How can I help? Find an up-to-date prayer request. Or, if you have it on your heart to give (or would like to have an idea regarding the expenses that missionaries face) review the documents that detail logistical needs and support level needs that are required. We opened this brief report with a quote from Ian Fallis, NTM missionary elect. The sunrises in this part of the world are truely awesome. Against this backdrop outshines the love and endurance of a faithful God sharing His wish upon the hearts of His servants. Highly recommended.
