Abortion Survivor Speaks: Sasha Presents on Sanctity of Life Sunday

tingministries

On Sunday, January 22, 2023, I was blessed to share my story as an abortion survivor and Russian adoptee at Freedom in Christ Fellowship, in Lebanon, PA. The Lord has granted me an incredible testimony of redemption. In this service (full video above) I share:

  • My story of adoption at 17 months old to being reunified with birth family in 2018. A message of redemption, forgiveness and grace, for all those impacted by abortion: birth mothers, birth fathers, children, adoptive families.
  • What the Bible tells us about the Sanctity of Human Life (Deuteronomy 30:19, Proverbs 31:8-9, Ephesians 1-2; Romans 8:1)
  • Practical steps we all can take to be a Voice for the Voiceless in our society, including recent statistics on the reasons women face the choice of abortion and what can be done to support family strengthening
  • Bonus Video Below: I closed the service in the Aaronic Benediction in English and Hebrew (music by Marty and Misha Goetz.) I’ve been blessed to share this performance on other occasions, notably at the Jericho March in Washington, D.C.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Ting: What Does It Mean?

TING: To Truly Listen

What does it mean?
It is a skill that not too many have actually acquired. It means to not be focused on yourself and your own thoughts, attitudes and opinions when hearing someone.
Listen with TING!
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Turn your focus away from yourself and listen with your eyes, your ears, your mind and your heart.
So how did the ministry end up with the name TING MINISTRIES?
In 2007 we adopted a tiny little girl from an orphanage in Taiwan. Her name given at birth by her own birthmother was Ya-Ting. We renamed her Ellianna Ya-Ting.
It was on that adoption trip that we sensed God was leading us as a couple into ministry to orphans as a means to share the Gospel and to live out the Gospel (James 1:27) It was during that week in Taipei, Taiwan that the name TING MINISTRIES was birthed for a ministry yet to begin.
We held onto the name and finally in August of 2009 Ting Ministries began its first mission outreach to an orphan and orphanage in the Southern Philippines (that orphan would later become our beloved daughter Avigayil – Avi – “Tin Tin.”)
Do you LISTEN with your heart?
The really amazing thing about Ellianna’s name being Ting is that her birthmother did not know that she was deaf. Ellianna was born with many special needs but her birthmother did not know she was also deaf. So Ellianna Ya-Ting truly must “listen with her heart” and has been teaching us how to LISTEN!
Today listen with TING!
