~Papua New Guinea~

Autumn ArpI’m Autumn Arp, an insignificant woman with the privilege to participate in God’s eternally significant purpose of redeeming people from every tongue, tribe, and nation! I began training with the New Tribes Emanate training program in Durham, Ontario, Canada, in the fall of 2016. Lord willing, I will complete this training in 2018, finish raising support, and move to Papua New Guinea to serve with two other families on our team.

What is going on in Papua New Guinea?
We plan to move to Papua New Guinea in Jan. of 2017.
Once we are on the field we will: learn the trade language, move into a tribe, learn an unwritten tribal language and culture, share the Gospel beginning in Genesis, begin the process of discipleship, develop a written language for them, teach them to read, translate the Bible into their language, see church leaders raised up, and then help them repeat the process of church planting so they can reach and teach their own people. We will then transition out of the tribe and serve as consultants and encouragers to help the work become truly indigenous. From the time we enter the tribe until the time we leave we expect this work to take around 15 years.
