●●●●Only $200 needed to free them from an entire life on the Brick Kilns!
———-Original post———-
Praise Praise Praise👏🙌🙏
AND
2 PRAYER REQUESTS 🙏

Praise

Sara’s family debt will soon be paid! She will be freed from slavery on a Brick Kiln! Without your help Sara and her family would have made bricks day in and day out for the rest of their lives.
Because of YOU…SHE will now be able to follow her heart’s desire to help share Christ to others outside the Brick Kiln.
Thank you from Sara, her family and the Ting Team in Pakistan and the USA.

2 Prayer requests

1. Another family that was previously posted – an elderly couple- they have not yet been able to be freed. The one elderly man was freed and his photo was shared as he was driven away from the Kiln with all his earthly possessions in an auto rickshaw driven by Starfish’s father.
A debt of the second elderly couple has not been able to be paid yet $600
2. The little boy with the twisted ankle needs medical care to access and then treat this horrific orthopedic need. The Ting Pastor in this region where we have helped many burn victims was to see this boy and requested help for him! Any amount needed at this point in time as we take him to see medical professionals who can help chart the course of action for him.

Lera’s Dance at Castle Garibaldi

tingministries
Lera’s dance goes to….a real-life castle?!
That’s right! Lera dances in front of Castle Garibaldi – Замок Гарибалди. Her story was also recently featured on the Instagram page of a Russian Autism Awareness foundation. They highlighted her beautiful spirit of compassion as she serves children and teaches dance to those who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate in such a class. We love you Lera! You are beautiful and talented – keep shining your light for Jesus!
To support Lera’s Dance so students can continue lessons for the upcoming school year:

Spirit of Adoption Radio Interview with Sasha Carpenter: Abortion Survivor, Disabled, International Adoptee & Reunified with Birth Family!

tingministries
From Stephanie Carpenter, co-founder and co-director of Ting Ministries:
“In our current culture where identity is such a hot topic I encourage you to take a listen to my oldest daughter’s testimony/story. Click HERE  to listen to her interview with Spirit of Adoption Radio.
This is her story and that of her birthmother. I have had the privilege and honor to meet and hug Sasha’s birthmother and I love her with all my heart. She is my family. This is also her story. Out of her trauma, heartache and grief I was given one of the greatest joys of my life. Every life is precious. Be careful of judgement particularly when answering your adopted children’s questions regarding their birth family because often we do not know the WHOLE STORY!
Our God – because of Jesus Christ – has allowed Sasha to bring 2 mothers together from opposite ends of the world. This is their story!
Sasha ‘s name is Natalya Aleksandra ( we each gave her a portion of her name)
and the verses that go with the name Natalya are from Psalms 9:1-2:
‘I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.
I will be filled with joy because of you.
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.'”
From Sasha Carpenter;
“I had the honor and blessing of speaking with Spirit of Adoption Radio about an important topic in the adoption community: My identity as an abortion survivor and disabled, international adoptee who found my birth family, but most importantly, who knows that all the questions of “Why?” and “Who Am I?” adoptees often struggle with can only be answered by the Great I AM – my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

Flying Zhong Home – Meet 3 Sisters Bringing Home Their Brother, One Card at a Time!

tingministries

Read the awesome story of the Kelley family, friends of Ting Ministries, whose daughters put together an artwork fundraiser to bring home their brother from China! Zhong is the best friend of one of their daughters who was adopted from China last year! This is their third China adoption but first adoption fundraiser – so let’s share the word and some encouragement! Check out some of their artwork below and visit their website to see more!

The Story

“Zhong’s three sisters, Grace, Ruthie & Mackenzie, have been working hard on creating a set of Christmas cards and greeting cards in an effort to help bring their new brother home! Our goal is to raise enough money for all of Zhong’s plane tickets home […] then, if the Lord wills, we can also work on paying toward all the other adoption expenses we owe and upcoming travel expenses.”

The Artwork:

“All of the watercolors & stamped backgrounds were created by Ruthie, our 13 year old, & Grace our 8 year old who has cerebral palsy (mentioning her CP as I’m super pleased with her artistic efforts despite her challenges with hand coordination) and then Mackenzie, 22, added her hand calligraphy to all the cards […]”

See the full product gallery on their website here!

“Envelopes are included. We are taking pre-orders for two weeks before printing so that we can get exactly what you want and not have too many extras of one kind or another. We will work hard to have the cards available to pick up and/or shipped to you by Thanksgiving.”

The Kelley girls are selling Christmas cards, greeting cards, birthday cards, thank yous, get well soon cards and MORE!

Guest Artist: From a Fellow Adoptive Mother, Gallery Artist, and Children’s Book Illustrator

“Cady Driver, a fellow adoptive mom, who is a professional artist in North Carolina, is sharing her prints with me to add to our fundraiser!!! She already sold enough of her beautiful watercolors on antique hymnal prints to fully fund her entire China adoption expenses, so now she wants to bless others! She allowed me to select 5 of her bird hymnal prints and is having her printer ship the prints directly to me at printing cost. Cady is not taking a dime. Cady is a gallery artist and children’s book illustrator and she wants to give God the glory for her talent and bless others with it. When Cady learned about the girls’ card fundraiser, she offered to let us also make available her gorgeous hymnal prints! These can be easily framed in an inexpensive 8×10 frame or matted or floated in a larger frame. These make beautiful gifts!

You can see more hymnal prints on their website here!

“The hymnal prints are coming from North Carolina and will take about 1.5 weeks turn around once I tell the printer how many we need…. so I should have those ready for you to pick up first week of Dec. For shipped prints, I would expect them to arrive to you during the second week of December.”
