Supporting us

Prayer

The most important way you can support us is to pray for us, as we seek by his grace to live our lives in a way that pleases our God and Creator.

"Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14, ESV)

"...praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel..." (Ephesians 6:18-19, ESV)

Financial 

We would firstly like to begin by giving a huge thank you to all those who have supported us financially, enabling us to take this step to be here in Los Angeles studying at The Master's Seminary.

In particular we are extremely grateful to the supporting churches and individuals of Tom and Linda Ruhkala, who have generously donated to the 'leadership training fund' via Baptist Mid-Missions. This support is currently being used to pay for Miska's tuition fees, which is a tremendous blessing for us.

We are truly thankful for the continual support and encouragement of our sending home church, International Baptist Church of Tampere (Finland). Their support - both financial and spiritual - is a great blessing to us. It is a joy to be part of this fellowship, and we look forward to returning there after completing our training here at TMS, Lord willing.

We are also thankful for Alison's original home church Emmanuel Baptist Church in Cardiff (Wales) for their support to us, and how they helped us with providing accommodation during our two years in Wales so that we could save more money to prepare for our time here.

Some people have expressed to us that they would like to support us financially, of this we are truly grateful, simply the thought that people pray for us and wish to support us is a blessing all on it's own, even without any financial support. If you are willing and able to support us financially, either as a one off donation or regular monthly support, here is how you can do so: We have set up a PayPal account for one off or regular/monthly donations, you can find the link below. You can also contact us personally if you have any questions. For those who would need, we can also provide bank account details for our accounts in Finland, UK or USA for easier transfer and avoiding PayPal taking their share as payment.

NOTE: Please don't feel any financial contributions need to be made, your prayers are truly our most valued support. Here is a very good and important reminder from J.C. Ryle:

"Prayer is one of the best and most powerful means of helping forward the cause of Christ in the world. It is a means within the reach of all who have the Spirit of adoption. Not all believers have money to give to missions. Very few have great intellectual gifts, or extensive influence among men. But all believers can pray for the success of the Gospel, and they ought to pray for it daily. Many and marvelous are the answers to prayer which are recorded for our learning in the Bible. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16.)"
