Greetings!

Naniniwala po ako na one of the best investments na maaari nating gawin
in this life ay ibigay ang Salita ng Diyos sa isang people group na wala
pang Bible in their own language, and especially to those unreached like
the tribes of Nepal and the Himalayas. Unang-una, because sabi ni Jesus,
“The world shall pass away but my word shall never pass away. Not one
jot or one tittle shall pass away.” The Bible is an eternal investment.
Pangalawa, I believe that people need to have God’s word in their own
language for them to fully understand and benefit from it. In fact, sa
Acts 2:8 sinasabi na ang unang-unang miracle ni God after the giving of
the Holy Spirit was a miracle of translation! Everyone in the audience
heard Peter’s sermon each in their own native language. For me this goes
to show that God himself wants people to hear his words in the language
of their hearts, because the message of salvation is a message coming
from the very heart of God.

I have been privileged to be trained for six years in the seminary, four
years in biblical studies and two years in applied linguistics for
translation. I left my stable job as a researcher in the Office of the
President so I can follow God’s call. Through all these years God has
called many people to be my partner and through them has supported me
financially. In fact, the best thing I learned in the seminary is not a
lesson in the classroom, but a lesson in experience. Wherever God
guides, ika nga nila, God provides. And also, that we as Christians are
not to work alone, but he has called us to partner with other
Christians, for each of us has been given gifts for the edification of
his church and through these partnerships develop loving relationships
with God and with each other.

It has been a very humbling experience for me to leave my job and then
go around asking people to support me financially. This is against all
our instincts which drive us to be independent. But I believe this is
part of God’s call for my life. To be humbled in such a way as even
Jesus was humbled. Jesus himself never turned any stone into bread for
himself, but lived on the support of others (Luke 8:3).

When I go back to Nepal, initially, I will be helping in the East Tamang
Language Project (ETLP) in translating the Bible and teaching the people
how to read and write. It is my prayer that through bible study
materials being used for literacy classes, that churches will be built
among the East Tamang. As of the moment, I am aware of only a handful of
believers. Nepal is a Hindu land. Every corner street is marked with
shrines for idols, holy trees and stones. People wear a circle of powder
in their foreheads to mark their devotion to these false gods. But I see
them as our long lost brothers and sisters who badly need to hear God’s
word. I pray that you feel called by God to partner with me financially
and in prayer in reaching the peoples of the Himalayas.

To help you decide how much to pledge, I have partners that give
P200/month, P500/month, P1000/month, P2000/month and three who are able
to pledge P5000/month. My greater need is to find regular partners. By
God’s provision I have already received monthly pledges of $835.00 but I
need about $200.00 more. I pray that before this month ends I can
fulfill this requirement by the mission organization (Wycliffe SIL-South
Asia Group) I am joining in Nepal. Unless I fill this quota they will
not allow me to come. I am committed to work in Nepal for 4 -10 years. I
hope your commitment will be in the long term as mine.

My prayer is that you are one of those called by God to make this
ministry a reality and get me to Nepal. I trust that he will richly pay
you back as Paul has promised the Philippians who has generously
supported his missionary work, “And my God will fully satisfy all your
needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19).”

You can send your pledge to me through the church by simply marking your
donation envelopes “For Ting Bejo”. I already have made arrangement with
the Church Admin through Dr. Rey Taniajura to receive pledges on my behalf.


God Bless,

Ting Bejo
