Dear Friends in Christ, 

Well, it seems like this day would never come. We are finally able to head back to Mongolia and continue the Lord's work. Plus, it will be nice to get back home. There's no place like home as the saying goes. We are going to be very busy when we get back. We won't have a very long time to recover from the trip. About 3 or 4days after we return, we will be welcoming the youth pastor from one of our partner churches in Kansas. We are planning on taking him to our Gobi ministry and letting him serve with our Pastor and the youth there. Our Gobi Pastor, Muku, is a young man as well and speaks good English so they should get along well together. Please pray that God will use them together to bring Glory to our Heavenly Father.

As we travel to our Gobi ministry, we are planning on stopping in random nomad yurts and witnessing as we go. We will be carrying Bibles and Children's Story Bibles and passing them out along the way.

This needs prayer. Pray that God will open their ears to hear and understand. God has put it on our hearts to return to doing the things that we did when the ministry was new. That is trying to reach the nomads deep in the Gobi who have never heard the gospel. So Baljmaa and I are going to focus on this, please remember this in prayer as well.

While we have been in the States attending meetings and recovering from shoulder surgery, our
coworkers ni Mongolia have been busy with many building projects. Our Gobi hospital had a new roof put on. Our church behind the hospital had to be painted inside and out plus new windows installed.

And our orphanage back in the Ulaanbaatar had a central smoke detector installed with a new ceiling in the living room. Due to the extremely cold weather, buildings are ni constant need of repair, especially after the long cold winters. Al these repairs are complete and ready for use. We praise the Lord.

We had to take my mom's home off the market due to some required repairs before the sale. We tried to sell it "as is" but no one was interested it seems. We have almost completed the paintwork and carpet replacement, and it will be back on the market soon. Pray that God's will be done in this mater.

My shoulder has healed at about 90% and we are ready to get back to work. We appreciate you al for your prayers and al the concern you have shown. We love you al in our Lord Jesus and ask that you please keep us in prayer. We thank you for your partnership with us in the Gospel.

Yours Sincerely in Christ,

Mitch and Baljmaa Tillman

May, 2025: Dear Praying Friends,

We have been amazed so many times over the years at the way in which God has sent us far beyond our original location in Togo. We began our first church plant in the city of Kara on our front porch. As people accepted Christ they desired their families and villages to hear the gospel. We began to have opportunities to visit many remote locations. A few years ago God led us to an area 4 hours to the south.  All of the villages scattered throughout that region had an absence of a gospel witness.
 
Emmanuel, a Togolese brother who is a schoolteacher was transferred into that area and realized the need for a church.  He began with his own funds, constructing a simple structure. Because of his zeal and boldness to spread the gospel he has now begun 4 churches in that area. This year we had the great honor and privilege of receiving two students from his village churches into the Bible Institute.
 
Raul (pictured left) comes to us from the small village of Tawereda close to the Benin border where Emmanuel started his first work. Raul had the great opportunity to go to the capital to attend university.  It was while he was there that he was exposed to the gospel and accepted Christ. He returned to his village after seeking work elsewhere, and found that Emmanuel had started the church. This young brother enthusiastically absorbed the Word of God and after serving beside Pastor Emmanuel for some time, was convinced that God was calling him into the ministry as a pastor.
 
Yao (pictured right) comes from the small, seemingly insignificant village of Lidio, a place we told you about in a previous prayer letter where a lady who had just accepted Christ died of a snake bite.  Yao’s mother brought her son to church when he was a teenager. The building was not impressive, being constructed of simple mud-brick with dirt floors, but he was captured by the gospel, and after a few visits he accepted Christ. As he matured in his walk with the Lord he realized God was calling him into the pastorate.                                                        
Both of these students are putting a great deal of effort into their studies in Bible Institute and have been a joy to teach. They are very excited as they gain new insight into God’s word. Our prayer is that after they complete their training God would guide them back to work in their home area of central Togo where Pastor Emmanuel has been so faithfully serving.
 
Progress is being made on building the women’s birthing clinic at Mewede.  During this last visit the village chief showed us the progress they have made in putting in an access road, getting sand out of the dry riverbed while rains have stopped, and also securing gravel for the construction.  Once the creek starts flowing again the villagers will haul water several hundred yards to the clinic site.
 
Thank you for continuing to pray for our people of Togo.


Because of Him,
Randy and Jeanette Alderman

Dear Calvary, 

This thought - that we should not give up on our students, even when they don't seem so interested in God right away - stayed in our minds a lot this spring! We felt that God wants us to give them second, third and more chances, and just wait, persevere and love them! Gabriela is such a student who started with indifference and now has become a believer!

Her story and that of Alexya and many other exciting things from the student ministry in Brasov Romania, you can read in our June prayer letter, with just one click!

Thank you for reading and for praying! We appreciate you so much and want you to know that we could not do all these things without you! Thank you for being part of what God is doing here, in the students' lives in Romania!

As always we are happy to hear from you!

With much love in Christ,
Ramona, Iulian, Tudor and Alexya Bolog

Dear Friends in Our Lord Jesus,

Hello everyone, we would like to start of by thanking you for your prayers concerning the healing of my shoulder. It seems to be doing very well. We will be heading back home to Mongolia May the 25th and we are looking forward to getting back.

Regardless of the surgery, we have been busy with meetings in Maryland, Missouri, and Mississippi. God has blessed and it was a pleasure to see some old friends and make new ones before we go back to Mongolia. We ask that you please pray for the sale of my parent's home. If it doesn't sell, I will have to come back, which we would like to avoid. But whatever happens is God's will.

As leprosy is slowly disappearing from the world, we are trying ot expand the ministry away from just lepers in Thailand and reaching out to the other people in the village. Our pastor and director of Home of Grace organized a youth meeting with the young people of the village with food and games. We had over
100 in attendance where the Gospel was preached. We will be doing more things like this in the future and expanding the work that my dad started years ago. Please pray for souls to be saved in Thailand with the preaching of the Gospel.

With spring in full swing in Mongolia all our ministries are
being filled ot capacity. We see a lot of new faces ni the feeding
centers and churches. Spring also has brought a lot of young
ladies into our prolife centers seeking council with pregnancies. Our centers reported 30 women that we were able to witness and give New Testaments ot this past month. We praise the Lord that He has given us this opportunity. We know that His word will not return void and pray that these young ladies will hear and believe.

We also received two new babies ni our orphanage this month. They are siblings from a small village close ot the Russian border. The boy is 2 years of age, and his sister is 8 months. They were taken from their abusive alcoholic parents and placed with us. Please pray for them, your giving and prayers make our ability to help possible.

Our English classes are full as well with 20 new students in each class and they are all ready to learn English and hear the Gospel. This past month, our son Ganaa oversaw the replacement of the ceiling in the orphanage and will also take care of repairs on the Hospital in the Gobi. What a blessing to have him serving with us. He is a big help and bonus to our work.

We look forward to returning home and getting busy. This coming summer we will host two medical missions trips in the Gobi and have a youth pastor from Kansas stay for a week in June. We also have summer camp in late July. So, we thank the Lord for giving us plenty to do for His Glory!

We are al grateful ot you for your prayer, financial support, and friendship toward us and this work. We know that there are a lot of missionaries and works that you can support, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts that God has eld you, our way.

Sincerely Yours ni Christ,
Mitch and Baljmaa Tilman
