We are Jeremiah & Briana Stokes. We have 3 children Eden(8) Jericho(5) and Noelle (1) and we are missionaries with New Tribes Mission in Indonesia.

We moved overseas July 4, 2010. We are both from Pennsylvania but opposite sides of the state. Briana is from eastern Pa and Jeremiah is from Pittsburgh. We both grew up in christian homes but when we were in our first year of college we were confronted with the fact that there unreached tribal people groups that have no access to the Bible and do not even have the opportunity to reject the Bible.

In America we have Bibles in so many translations and in the drawers of hotel dressers and we have the ability to accept or reject the Bible but there are people groups around theworld that don’t even have the chance to accept or reject the Gospel because no one has ever learned their language and told them about what Christ did on their behalf.

We both decided that we couldn’t go through life in the states knowing this with a clear conscience and decided to become missionaries. It has been a long road with any ups and many downs but we know that we wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.
