However, after helping several missionaries build housing in Papua New Guinea, he realized that missionaries are just ordinary people following the word of God. He then attended Bible School back in the U.S. and was further challenged by the Great Commission. After serving at their home church for several years, Jason and Tami joined Ethnos360 as tribal church planters in Papua New Guinea. They are involved in evangelizing, discipling, training, teaching literacy, and translating the Bible. The goal is to plant a church that can stand on its own and carry on the work of the Lord.
