Encouraged

Posted on 19th February 2022 (17th February 2022) by Publications team

Boris and Valentina Bergen with Benaja, Phil Noah and Zea, have finally been able to welcome their first new missionaries.

This new missionary family waited almost two years before they were allowed to enter the Philippines and everyone is very happy that they have arrived. Thank you for your prayers.

Boris and Valentina are helping them settle in so that they can start their language and culture studies soon.

Please also pray that they will adjust well and that the children will soon feel comfortable living in the Philippines.

With the entry of this family, they are encouraged that the next families will soon receive a special permit and be allowed to enter the country.

Please pray with them that these families will also get their special permission and for their remaining time in their home countries, that they can be an encouragement and a blessing to others. Pray for a German and an American family that will hopefully arrive in the Philippines in mid-March, so they are about to pack up all their belongings and say goodbye. Pray that they and their children can have good last weeks in their home countries.

Boris and Valentina are excited that a family who are on the mission leadership in the Philippines are planning to move to their town this month. They will work with them in taking care of these families. Pray for them as a team that they get along well and have an open and God-glorifying relationship with one another.

Valentina’s sister is joining them in the Philippines to help home school their boys so that Boris and Valentina both have the mornings to help the newly arrived families. Please pray for her as she prepares for such a completely different life experience.

Gift Aid Declaration

Gift Aid

To qualify for Gift Aid, you must be a UK taxpayer and pay more Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for the tax year in which Gift Aid donations are made. If you have not been charged sufficient tax to cover to the Income Tax deducted from your Gift Aid donations, then you are responsible to pay any difference. Please note:

NTM cannot make a claim on a gift where the tax has already been claimed by another charity (eg. CAF or Stewardship).
Donations towards the living expenses of NTM missionaries who are close relatives are not eligible for Gift Aid. Therefore Gift Aided donations to close relatives must be designated for ministry expenses. Close relatives include the following family and their spouses/civil partners: grandparents, parents, children, siblings, and grandchildren.
For donations from couples, it is most practical for our processes if only one person who pays tax completes the form; gifts from that individual will then be treated as Gift Aided.
We do not claim Gift Aid on donations for student fees.
It is the donor’s responsibility to advise NTM if they no longer qualify for Gift Aid.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have questions.
