SANFORD, Fla. — New Tribes Mission USA is celebrating its 75th anniversary with the announcement of its formal name change to Ethnos360. New Tribes Mission was founded in 1942 by American missionaries Paul Fleming, Cecil A. Dye, Lance B. Latham and M. Robert Williams. They had a vision for reaching people groups with no access to the gospel.
With a determination to maintain the foundation of that vision in the face of shifting world dynamics, organizational leaders knew a name change was needed. And they believe Ethnos360 is the name that anchors the ministry to that foundation while pointing it to its vision.
“Ethnos” is the nations that Christ referred to when He commanded His followers to “make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19) and said “that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all the nations” (Luke 24:47).
The entirety of the globe is represented with the “360” — all 360 degrees. Ethnos360’s goal is to go wherever in the world is necessary to see a thriving church for every people.
