More lessons needed

Posted on 15th April 2021 by Publications team

Translation is usually a front burner task for Jonathan Bamford but recently the Isnag Bible teachers ran out of lessons and sent an urgent request for more materials. It is very good to know that they have been meeting regularly and want help with curriculum. Therefore, Jonathan put translation on the back burner. (He had recently finished the rough draft of Hebrews but is now writing lessons for the book of Mark.) He was able to send three lessons via email to his language helper in town who was able to print them and take them back to teach in the village. That is the first time that they have accomplished such a transfer of information and Jonathan and Heidi are very pleased to be able to help even though they are far away. He hopes to produce 18 or 20 lessons before he returns to translation work.

Pray that the lessons will help them to understand more Bible truth and deepen their love for Jesus.

Missionaries are currently not allowed to enter the Philippines. Jonathan and Heidi’s plane tickets from the USA to the Philippines were cancelled. They are requesting special permission to enter and will work on tickets when they receive approval.

Thank you for your prayers!

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.
