Russia, Sasha's Story

Happy Birthday, Lera!

Happy 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 Birthday
Join us at Ting Ministries in celebrating our dear Lera! It’s her birthday this week and the 4 year anniversary of meeting Sasha’s birthmother and sister! I still am in awe of how the Lord answered my 21 years of praying and how he knit us together as family forever.
When we adopted Sasha in 1998 I began praying for that day of meeting and for the precious young birthmother of our daughter. We never knew the full story until that amazing miraculous day in September of 2019. Many years and many adoptions later God has brought this full circle.
Ting Ministries is ministering in Russia because of God moving mountains and answering prayers. What a joy everyday to be in fellowship together with not only my dear sister and “daughter” Lera but to be able to be blessing other children, women and families that need the love of Jesus and encouragement and help.
To everyone who prays, share and helps Ting Ministries- thank you and join us in making this a great birthday week for our dearest Lera!
Happy Birthday to you Lera! We love you!
South Asia, update

Ministry Update from South Asia: August 2023

From our frontline team in South Aisa…

We praise God for His goodness and love, we were able to share the gospel among the unbelieving people and win lost souls in the ministry. We are also grateful to God for using us tremendously in the ministry, receiving new souls and making new disciples [and] for planted seeds which are powerful, effective, and fruitful. We hope and pray that God will continually pour out His heavenly blessings to give us for the expansion of His Kingdom. Thank you so much for your big partnership in the ministry and through your partnership, we were able to reach the unreached, teach the untaught and save the unsaved! Ting Ministries’ love and affection for His Kingdom are great and amazing. To God be the glory!

Evangelism:  We had evangelism in the rice fields’ area. They live in scattering in their rice fields. They work all day long at the rice fields. All of them are Buddhists. Though they are Buddhists, they never practice their rituals; not go to the temple, and not to put idols in their home [except they will complete harvest religious rituals, because] they believe doing so means their rice harvesting will increase and be fruitful.

Since they are poor, they think only how they can eat two meals in a day and how their children can send them to school.

We had a nice fellowship and shared the gospel with them. They know about Christian religion but they never have the opportunity to hear about the word of God. We shared about God’s love, sin, salvation, and eternal life. After sharing God’s message to them, they said to us we have never ever heard like this message in our Buddhism and also said nobody didn’t come and taught us about Buddhism. Then also stated the message you have shared to us is very good and acceptable. The message touched in their hearts was His love and eternal life. They said,

“Now we know only Jesus can give us a guarantee to go to eternal life in heaven who is Lord of the lords, King of the kings, Almighty God, Living God and only Jesus is the true God.”

After they talked to each other and said our belief must be abandoned where there is no head to foot. Finally, they realized and prayed for forgiveness and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior. To God be the glory!

Souls received & water baptism: We have received 7 souls and baptized all of them in our ministry. Please pray for them for their new life so they may remain according to the will of God and we may use them for Jesus’ soldiers.

Youth Seminar: We had a successful seminar organized especially for youth at the chapel. There were 56 participants. The seminar went well. The seminar topics were (Proverb 3: 5-6 and Deuteronomy 46: 4-6). All the participants were impacted and touched by the seminar.  Some of them were changed during the seminar. The participants were also very much appreciated for experiencing the message of God. The participants said we have a lot of bad thinking and corruption in our hearts which we really need to amend our hearts and invite the Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts and control us so we may live in His will. They really enjoyed what they have learned through the seminar.  We hope and pray that they will change from their old habits and live in holiness.

House churches planted: We have planted three house churches in different three villages among the new believers. They are following & practicing what we have taught them to do. Since all of them are uneducated, please pray for them that God gives them wisdom, knowledge, and understanding about the word of God and they may grow in spiritually.

House church services: By the grace of God, they are all doing fine with their services and activities. They are maturing day by day in the word of God. They enjoyed working together in the ministry. Since they are increasing members, they badly need church building.

Women’s ministry: They are also doing fine with their ministry activitiesThey share the gospel among their fellow women, teaching, and encouraging them. They visited village to village and shared the gospel. They have been doing faithfully in their ministry. We praise God for their ministry.

Ting Children’s home: Ting children are all doing well. They are maturing day by day in their thoughts and knowledge. They are progressing in their studies. They are really busy with their classes and homework. They enjoyed learning new things. They have been praying for you all and their monthly needs.

We are so much thankful to Ting Ministries for the continued love, prayer and support for the work of the Lord here and around the world. We thank you so much for your strong commitment, faithfulness and generosity for us and His Kingdom.

Church Planting & South Asia Ministry: April 2023

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

We are going well with our ministry activities through giving His blessings and helping us by the power of the Holy Spirit. God is so good all the time! We have experienced that if we remain strong in Him; He is always with us and gives us everything that we need for us and His Kingdom. We thank God for showing His always goodness to us. We praise God for leading His miraculously in our lives and ministry activities. We also are so thankful for your firmly standing besides us through your support, love, kindness, and prayers we were able to share the gospel among the unreached peoples and save their lives. We appreciate what you have contributed for His Kingdom. Praise the Lord!!!

The village of the background where the church was built: All of the families are living in under poverty in this village. All the villagers are daily laborers. They work all day long at the cultivation. Most of them are uneducated. Before they came to Christ, they were Buddhists. We received souls gradually and after one and half year back we received eighteen families. There are still three families living in the darkness. We pray that they also come to Christ soon.

The church building constructions: When they became Christianity, they used to have church services at the house. They did like this church services about two years. But when believers are gradually increased, they badly need church building where they can have church services. They have many times to sit and discussed to build the church building. Since then they formed a church building construction committee. After they decided that every members should collect materials twice a month. Since then they collected materials such as wood, bamboo, stones, Tin, and others. Then they started to build the church. They took it to build two years. Finally, with the help of God, they completed it and they have a beautiful church building. Praise the Lord!!!

Church opening ceremony:  The church opening ceremony went well. They really enjoyed the church opening ceremony services. They are very proud of a new church building! During the opening church ceremony, God has blessed us all and the church services were wonderful. They really praise God for providing a beautiful God’s house in their village.

Evangelism: We had evangelism in another village.  They are all Buddhists. All of the village people are uneducated and involved with cultivation. When we reached their village, we invited them to join the fellowship. Then numerous people joined the fellowship. We shared our testimony first then we did a gospel presentation.  We shared sin, God’s love, and salvation. After sharing all these topics, they were astonished since they heard it for the first time. Then there were many questions wanted to know about Christianity. We answered them in detail as per their questioned. At this they were very much satisfied in their hearts. But some people were so stubborn that they didn’t want to listen to it. But finally through the touching of the Holy Spirit six people were realized and repented their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior.

Receiving new souls & baptized:  We have received six new souls and baptized all of them in our ministry. We thank God for receiving new souls every month in the ministry. We pray that through these new souls, we will be able to win more souls in the days to come. Please pray for them.

Seminar: We had wonderful a seminar for men, women, youth and lay leaders. The participants were 22. The seminar topics were church growth and Christian family. The participants were glad to hear about the topics. They themselves have increased their knowledge and to grow faith from the seminar. They also believe that through these teaching every participants will be benefit and to teach other also. We hope and pray that God will use them for making disciples to others.

House churches planted: We have planted three house churches in different villages among the new believers. They are doing fine with their ministry and services. We pray that they will be maturing in their services soon.

House church services: All house churches are doing well with their ministries and services. We are grateful for their maturing and spiritual growth through their activities and services. We thank God for using them mightily and were able to see fruitful among the house churches.

Women’s ministry:  They are also doing fine with their ministry activities. They used to form women’s cell group where already churches are planted and teaching them about the word of God. They really enjoyed with their ministry and growing their ministry.

Ting Children’s home:  They are all doing fine with their studies and health. They are enjoying with their classes. They are growing in their studies and about the word of God. We praise God for giving them an opportunity to study. Please continually pray for their needs.

We really praise God for your vital part of our continuation of the ministry. We are very proud to be able to partner with you  for the expansion of His Kingdom. To God be the glory!!!
