The heart of global Tribe is reflected in our creed: To safeguard the helpless and do them no wrong; to show courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. THE WORK of Global Tribe is to mobilize resources and partner with existing ministries, grass roots leaders, to make poverty history; to provide a platform for their work, recruit volunteers for their mission, and raise funds to help with their expenses, to expend our collective energy and resources to combat physical and spiritual hunger, both around the globe and at home. Here is a glimpse of our work. Global Tribe is to focus our resources on those with whom we partner.
In partnership with Baja Christian Ministries, we help them with funds and volunteers to build homes, classrooms, medical facilities, and provide relief. From the time we began assistance, homebuilding has jumped dramatically to 250 a year, assisted largely be the Newsboys platform. In 2007 we introduced Purple Book, designed to teach basic bible principles to new believers. Current numbers indicate 32,000 have engaged the study with 12,000 graduated from 800 groups. They now have 5 staff who are regional Purple Book directors.

It is a great tool to teach Biblical foundations to new believers, and an excellent refresher for seasoned believers.
Since mid 2007 Purple Book has exploded in Baja. Demand increases daily with requests coming from across the peninsula. There are now more than 31,000 people studying the Purple Book in Baja and over 12,000 people have completed their study. Purple Book study groups exceed 900!
“The more than 31,000 people who have Purple Book live in some of the most poverty ridden sections of Tijuana, by studying the Bible in concert with Purple Book they gain a Biblical world view that is a wealth beyond material things. No doubt something in which so many in the U.S. can find solace as they face their own economic crisis.”

Your prayers have been so vital! Thank you so much for this labor of love and faith! We have a team coming in this morning. Please keep them in prayer:
Catalyst Christian Community Church of Cerritos, CA, led by Bonny Nguyen and Ruth Akahoshi, is building 2 houses for poor families in Rojo Gomez. They will also be doing evangelism, outreach, sharing testimonies, praying, and working with our BCM evangelism tag team to lead surrounding neighbors into relationship with Jesus Christ and help us set them up in discipleship groups of 25 or more people to study the Bible using the Purple Book.
