Josh Beaudin of New Tribes Missions to be keynote speaker at the Trek/Journey State Championships on March 5-6!
Josh started as an Awana Cubbie. A big part of him coming to trust Christ as His Sin-Bearer was the witness of his older sister, beginning when she was just a 6 year old Sparky (1 Peter 2:24)! He went all the way through the High School Awana program, earning his Citation Award in 2001. His parents were Awana Missionaries in Idaho/Oregon for 12½ yrs, starting when he was in Jr. High. During an Awana missions trip to Zimbabwe, he was greatly impacted as he experienced how God can use even the life of a young person to further His kingdom, when that life is made available to Him. In 2002 while attending Ecola Bible School on the Oregon coast, God burdened Josh’s heart to be a part of taking the gospel to unreached tribes around the world. As he sought where to begin, God led him to New Tribes Mission. He spent the next 4 years going through NTM’s intensive training course, preparing to do cross-cultural church planting with indigenous people groups.
Josh and Shannah met in Idaho in 2006 and were married on December 31, 2009. They love to sing together and lead others in worshipping the Lord Jesus through music. They also both love to spend time in the great outdoors! Currently Josh is serving as a missionary with NTM USA, and Shannah is completing her NTM training, after which they plan to move overseas. With over 2,500 tribes in the world still isolated from any exposure to God’s Word, Josh and Shannah plan to be a part of reaching one of those tribes (or many). They welcome the opportunity to visit with you in March and would love to share how you can be a part of Expanding the Reach of the Gospel to unreached tribes around the world!
