“I thank God Almighty for the passion and the desire he has put in you. We are benefiting a lot through your work. God bless you.”

“Thank you for 1 Peter which has been an encouraging letter to us as it addresses very clearly the situation we are serving in our country where there is much suffering (kidnapping, shootings and many other violences). So, continue praying for us to God to restore peace and security in this war-torn region of eastern DRC .”

“Praise the Lord! I would like to thank God who brought you here. . . . Also I would like to thank you. . . for your coming and for being with us for three weeks. I have enjoyed much. . . our lessons. Also through you I have learn[ed] many things such as sermon preparation, theology, and African church history. So I would like to request you to pray for me always so as I may stand firm in. . . the Lord our God.Sir, I have nothing to give you, but God will bless you with your family for everything you do. Greet your family, and your congregation, in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour.”

“It was great for us to be with you in Goma /DRC for a week. We have been blessed by learning the book of 1 Peter and church leadership. May God bless you.”

“ I have received good feedback on the sessions you delivered ~ ‘The training has been so helpful to me. I appreciate it so much’ ~ We want you to come back.” 

“Dear Doctor Tim: I want to appreciate you for the teaching that you have taught me in the class. You really opened up my mind in the Bible. Your teaching has made me to understand that I have been called to the ministry of God. Before I was not having enough knowledge about the Bible, but now you have made me know about it. So may God bless you and give you more knowledge and understanding and wisdom of his ministry so that you may continue teaching his people elsewhere. I wish. . . that you may come to Sudan by the will of God  so that we may also learn from you more about the Bible. Because Sudan is thirsty for God’s Word. So when you go back to your home/country, you may also put me in your prayers and remind your church to pray for me that I may get further study in the Bible and teach the people of Sudan . . . Thank you.”
