December Partnership Invitation

As we approach the end of one year and the beginning of another, we naturally experience a time of reflection on the past year’s milestones and memories, and excitement for the promising possibilities of the year ahead. In recalling Ten Million for Christ’s fifth anniversary, we look back and acknowledge the ever-present faithfulness of God that sustained us through times of challenge and ushered in times of celebration. Praise God for his lovingkindness! We also say thank you to the many partners who stood with us and sowed into the gospel-sharing ministry of Ten Million for Christ. Your investment into the Kingdom is making possible the transformation of individuals and their communities as people are introduced to the Gospel!

In John 4 we see the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman, a story that is just as relevant today as it was powerful 2,000 years ago. In one day, Jesus changed not only the direction of one life but impacted a whole community: “Many of the Samaritans from the town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony ….”(John 4:39)

That miraculous, life-changing power is available to us today in the midst of our daily lives. As we look around, let’s observe where God has placed us and not miss the opportunities to share the Gospel with the people we interact with over the course of our daily and weekly routines. Before the Samaritan woman brought many townspeople out to Jesus, He commented to his disciples, “Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” (John 4:35)

When you open your eyes, what do you see? What harvest has God placed before you?

Jesus talked about the harvest at another time as well. “Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’” I believe as we pray that prayer, God’s invites us to be the answer to that prayer – to join the workers in the harvest.

Will you join me not only in looking up to see the harvest but in praying the prayer and then stepping into the harvest? Like Jesus invited the Samaritan woman, we invite you into the harvest to joyfully tell people about Jesus!

For our Gospel-sharing work to increase in Romania, and for our ministry to grow in the U.S. through The 24/7 Evangelist, we invite your generous partnership in December, which will infuse TMFC with the finances needed to accelerate across the finish line in 2022 and launch into 2023 on a firm financial foundation. Our goal for year-end financial partnerships is $100,000.

Your support for Ten Million for Christ will impact our ministry and growing staff in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Galati, Hateg, and Cluj, Romania. With 11 staff members spread throughout those locations, TMFC has the equivalent of four full-time paid staff, which has increased our resources as well as our financial responsibilities. Our entire team is dedicated to “telling people about Jesus and inspiring the church to tell people about Jesus” creatively, consistently, and courageously in the U.S. and Romania!

                                        Thank you for joining us! 
                                       Jeremy, Gerry, and the TMFC Team

2022 Highlights

TMFC TRAVELED TO ROMANIA FOUR TIMES IN 2022

In March, we had the opportunity to tangibly minister God’s presence and provision to Ukrainian refugees by distributing special gift bags with a message of hope to refugee children. God worked powerfully through our partners in Galati and Cluj to serve refugees in Romania and Ukraine.

Ten Million for Christ sent its first Evangelism Team to Romania in May, joining church partners to share the Gospel in their communities through prayer walks, open air preaching, and even volleyball and ping pong tournaments! Many believers grew in their excitement to share the Gospel, and a handful of people made commitments to Christ!

In July, TMFC held its 2nd English Bible Camp in Galati, Romania, for over 140 children, where many heard the Gospel for the first time! We saw a powerful week of the Holy Spirit working through a team of over 60 leaders, including 15 from the States, our largest team yet. Many children made a first-time commitment to follow Jesus and receive His gift of salvation!

Finally, TMFC capped off our watershed year of ministry with the Business Leadership Team. This team led three breakthrough business seminars of practical teaching and inspiration. Our local teams did a phenomenal job leading the way, and we saw excellent community participation. Many business owners and leaders were encouraged to use their influence to create Kingdom impact in their communities. God showed up and showed off once again!

THE 24/7 EVANGELIST GREW IN ROMANIA, LANCASTER, PA, & LAKE COUNTY, FL

The 24/7 Team launched in Galati, Romania, in January and now includes five men and two women, with several others in the process of joining the team.

I am so grateful that God led me to The 24/7 Evangelist! It was here that I received encouragement and creative tools to consistently live a lifestyle of sharing Jesus. Today I am continuing to grow in my love for Jesus, compassion for the lost, and in my calling as an evangelist! ~Andrew Zeiset

TMFC HOSTED FOUR EVENTS WHERE GOD PROVIDED MORE THAN WE COULD THINK OR IMAGINE!

Men’s Breakfast | Day of Giving | Women’s Luncheon | Flag Football Tournament

2022 marked Ten Million for Christ’s 5th Annual Men’s Breakfast at Shady Maple! We enjoyed great food, conversation, and inspiration to grow in our passion for Christ and for reaching the lost through the message and life stories of evangelist Steve Wingfield!
TMFC celebrated its 4th annual Day of Giving and God’s faithfulness! Through the generosity of many partners we raised over $72,000, allowing us to continue sharing the gospel in Romania and the U.S., and hire a part-time Prayer Director.

In August, Connie Dienner, founder and executive director of Cavod Performing Arts, engaged over 150 women in a beautiful outdoor setting at our 5th Annual Women’s Luncheon on the topic of “Fragrant Faith”. It was a wonderful time of ministry as Connie inspired everyone to share the Gospel with those around us.

In October, Ten Million for Christ hosted its 5th Annual Flag Football Tournament and Chicken BBQ! It was an incredible success. We had a great day full of flag football, delicious chicken BBQ, relationship building, and abundant provision thanks to the numerous sponsors, teams, and spectators! Congratulations to the Red Team for winning the championship!

TMFC STAFF GROWS TO 11

Ten Million for Christ saw tremendous staff growth in the U.S. and Romania. This is crucial to our mission as we need strong regional evangelistic leadership teams in our regions of ministry. In Romania, Eugen and Nicoleta Iordache increased their staff time as a couple to half time. They have done a fabulous job in building teams in Galati, Romania. Alex Eros joined paid staff in Hateg/Baru, Romania, this summer. He did a great job of leading our business seminar in November. In Cluj-Napoca, TMFC leaders Robert and Angelica Avram also came on as paid staff. They are well connected at YWAM Cluj and, like Alex, did a fabulous job leading the business seminar in Cluj. We expect a phenomenal year ahead as these teams grow their impact and lead ministry events.

In the U.S., TMFC welcomed the addition of AJ Crawford and Janice Baldauf. AJ is our 24/7 Coordinator in Lake County, FL. He is developing church partnerships, growing The 24/7 Evangelist team, and launching our first ministry events in Florida. Janice Baldauf started on paid staff as our first Prayer Director this fall. She is growing our prayer foundation, helping our leaders to build Prayer Shields, and will co-lead a team to Romania March of 2023.

Andrew Zeiset now serves two days a week, which enables him to plan for our 2023 spring launch of “Evangelism 101”, a class to provide practical training opportunities for
people to multiply their gospel-sharing impact.
