Romans Begins

Eric Hedeen, in the village church building, starting the teaching in the book of Romans

It has been the catalyst for revival in generations past. It lays out for us the foundational truths regarding the full payment for sin, provides some very essential knowledge towards understanding our identity in Christ as a believer along with some great principles for Christian living. After many weeks of preparing lessons, teaching in the book of Romans has begun in the Malaumandan church. An understanding of the book of Romans will be a tremendous boost to the church. It has been a long time coming and should be a great help to the tribal church. Pray for Eric Hedeen as he teaches through the book from now till May. Pray the believers in the village will remain faithful to hear the teaching and that they will be able to comprehend and apply the principles presented.

  • Pray for the Romans teaching at Malaumanda.
  • Pray for our ministry at NTBI. We have full schedules and often work through complicated issues.

FAQs

Does the tribal language have words for terms like justification? Generally, no. Vocabulary like this must be created or fabricated in the tribal language, then, the concept is carefully taught in the collective church/study setting.
