Immediate Need: Summer Bible School Camp - 5 Days - 60 Orphans

Our TM Philippines team is putting together a Bible camp for orphans in April. There are 100 indigenous children already planning to attend! However, there are also 60 orphans wanting to come learn about Jesus who cannot pay the small registration fee (covering materials, snacks for the 5 days). 

At the cost of 500 pesos - only $9.57 per child, would you consider helping one or two children come to Bible school? The total for all 60 orphans to be able to come is 30,000 pesos or $574.20. Thank you for helping fulfill the commandments in James 1:27 and Matthew 28:19-20.

Christmas Outreach in the Philippines: TM Helps Over 300 People!

Thank you to our supporters who have helped TM Philippines! Below, you can see some pictures of their Christmas outreach. They distributed food and clothing to over three hundred local people. Please pray that the truth of the Gospel would be fruitful and that those who were blessed by the outreach would come to know Christ! Happy 2018 everyone!

Urgent Need for Philippines: School Fees and Continued Marawi Relief

You may remember us sharing a need a couple months ago about school fees for Ting Ministries' children in the Philippines. Unfortunately, the need has not been met yet - and the children have started school already! They will not be able to stay in school if Pastor Mark cannot pay their fees. It is only 6 dollars a month for elementary school and 12 dollars for higher level education! Please consider if you can help these children, both former and current street kids, go to school - they are counting on you!

Also, Pastor Mark is heading back to Marawi to another evacuation center! In order to continue helping the displaced families and children, he needs our help to purchase supplies like clothing, food, and toys. 100% of Ting Ministries work depends on the faithfulness and generosity of our supporters! Even 5 dollars makes a difference! Please share and get the word out! Thank you!

The total cost for both these needs is: 2,250 dollars.

"We had fellowship, follow-up, more teaching, sharing more on church and congregations leading, making discipleship, gave them encouragement. We knew that our teaching, training and seminar are not vain but it’s fruitful and effective. We had also women seminar on Christian family and women leadership in the ministry.

Our TM team in Bangladesh has planted 8 churches in various villages and there were 15 people who came to know Christ! Praise the Lord! Please pray for the strengthening of their faith and for their neighbors who still do not know Jesus. Here are some photos of baptisms:

Our TM missionaries also spent time with the youth, singing and worshiping and praying with the sick...

Pastor Sanga says: "After prayer she was healed in the name of Nazareth Jesus! Praise the Lord!"

This woman's stomach pains lessened after prayer! Imagine what a testimony of Christ and encouragement!

How encouraging to know we have new brothers and sisters in Christ, halfway across the world. Please continue to keep TM partners in your prayers - they face heavy persecution and risk, but this is why they continue! Please pray for their safety, particularly as heavy flooding has damaged many roads in Bangladesh this month. If you would like to help our TM pastors and missionaries continue their ministry, there are several ways to help!

1. We are raising funds for a motorbike. It costs about 2,404 dollars and will help our team get to villages more quickly and safely. Right now they are traversing the jungle and crossing rivers and the journeys take days. A motorbike is a practical need and one that will help spread the Gospel to even more lost souls!

2. There are some ongoing needs. We have 5 Pastor's families waiting for sponsors! Things like clothing outreaches are also made possible through your support. 

This pastor and his family need a sponsor!

3. You can make a one-time donation by a) using the PayPal on our website. b) Send a check to Ting Ministries, 904 State Drive, Lebanon, PA 17042. Please specify what you would like the donation to be used for (100% goes to your specified program).

Completed: Marawi Children's Relief: Emergency Update (Part 2)

UPDATE 7/26/17: Our goal for the Children's Relief is FULLY FUNDED! Thanks to everyone who gave, prayed, and shared. Stay tuned for more updates as Pastor Mark continues working in Marawi. 

To see the first update and pictures from Marawi please go to this post. 

A collection of updates from Pastor Mark on the ground in Marawi. 

Pastor Mark: "This is one of the kids and his name is Andrew* (not real name). He told me that he was brainwashed to join the ISIS. He wants to go with me to Zamboanga... oh... I really wanted to cry!"

Oh, how our hearts ache for Andrew. Please keep him in your prayers! Just imagine how many countless children there are in similar situations. 

The children asked Pastor Mark if they could have a party. Not part of the original plan, the team put together an instant party for these children who have been uprooted, traumatized, and on high-alert since the ISIS attack. Here you can see what Pastor Mark is seeing: children finally being children again in Marawi.

The children Pastor Mark is helping Marawi fled their homes. Right now, they are living in tents and many of them did not even have a pair of underwear. Can you imagine? They were so happy to just receive one new pair of underwear. 

580 dollars is needed to reach our goal - so every child can be helped by the relief program and recieve food, clothing, toys, etc. If you want to give a gift of love to these children, who have been displaced and/or orphaned by ISIS, you can: 1. Use the PayPal on the side of our website. 2. Send a check to Ting Ministries, 904 State Drive, Lebanon PA 1702. Thank you dear friends! You are making a world of difference for these children.

Help Provide a Motorbike for Bangladesh

Dear friends, thank you for your support of Ting Ministries and our families, pastors, missionaries, and children all around the world. We could not be doing this without your help. 

One of our areas of work is with pastors and unreached tribal groups in Bangladesh. TM missionaries face heavy persecution, while risking their lives to travel through the jungles to reach remote villages. Yet they persevere because they are called to share the gospel. Right now, they are walking and climbing through the jungle; the journeys are arduous, taking several days and facing obstacles on the way. For the safety of the team and to make the trips faster, we would like to meet the need of a motorbike for TM Bangladesh. The motorbike will cost 2,404 USD. 

Can we come together to help provide a motorbike? Pastor Sanga and his team thank you for your help. They are always so grateful - imagine how blessed they will be, knowing people across the world care about their protection and about sharing the love of Jesus! 

If you would like to give towards the motorbike: 
1) Use the PayPal button on the side of our website.
2. Write a check out to Ting Ministries, 904 State Drive, Lebanon, PA 17042. 
Please specify Motorbike for Bangladesh

Sponsors Needed for Bangladeshi Pastor Families!

Imagine you are pastor or evangelist in remote Bangladesh. You risk your life every day to share the love of Christ. When you go out in the morning, you know you may not return to your wife and children at home. To reach other villages, you must traverse through jungles and rivers. You face immense persecution but know the Lord has called you to this life of ministry.

Dear Friends - There are 5 Ting Ministries' families in Bangladesh that need sponsors to continue reaching villages, orphans, and tribal children with food, clothing, and the Gospel. It is their families' and Pastor Sanga's desire that they would be able to do this ministry full-time. Currently, these families are living on nothing. In order to carry on the ministry and care for their families, each pastor/evangelist needs a sponsor! This sponsorship will provide:

• Living expenses for them and their families
• Travel supplies
• Housing
• Salary

A full sponsorship of 200 dollars per month will provide everything needed for the family's basic necessities. If you cannot commit to a full sponsorship but still want to help, please don't be discouraged! Partial sponsors of 100, 50, 20 dollars, or whatever you can give will help! A one-time donation of 2,400 dollars will provide for the families for whole year! Please consider how you can help these pastors and evangelists today. It may seem like a lot, but if you consider living on 200 dollars a month, it is not much at all...Can you give up eating out two times a month to help and encourage these families?

If you would like to be a monthly sponsor: Email tingministries@comcast.net with your name and mailing address. We will send a sponsorship form for you with a picture and information on the pastor or evangelist you would like to help!

If you would like to give a one-time donation: Please use the PayPal button at the side of our website. Or, make a check out to Ting Ministries and send it to 904 State Drive, Lebanon, PA 17042. Please specify for Bangladesh Family Sponsorship. Thank you

Hope for Marawi

Please take a few minutes of your time to watch this video that Pastor Mark put together about Zamboanga's "Hope for Marawi" team. You may remember that in May 2017, a massive ISIS attack was carried out in the Philippines. Pastor Mark and others traveled down to help the people of Marawi. 

Our partners in the Philippines organized an emergency relief program including food outreach and school bags for children displaced by the terrorism.

This was made possible by Ting Ministries' supporters who helped raise funds for a van.

Please pray for the continued protection of Pastor Mark and team as they provide aid to refugees, orphans and street children in Marawi and continue to share the Gospel. If you would like to give to help the relief program, please use the PayPal button on the side of our website or make a check out to Ting Ministries, 904 State Drive, Lebanon, PA 17042.
