How to Reach Tribal People With Steve Sanford

How do you reach a people group with no written language or Bible translation? In this week’s episode of The Missions Podcast, Scott Dunford sits down with Steve Sanford, CEO of Ethnos360, as he talks about his experience reaching a tribal group and the unique complexities and methodologies needed to go where the gospel hasn’t gone before.

Steve Sanford is CEO of Ethnos360 and has been a missionary to unreached people groups in South America. Ethnos360’s mission is to have a thriving church for every people. They focus on evangelizing and church planting among unreached people groups, helping develop language and Bible translations, so that they can effectively communicate the gospel message in people’s heart language.
