Global Missions

Here are some of the missionaries Tab supports.  We have missionaries that are not listed here due to concerns for their safety. Please pray for all missionaries in countries under religious persecution.

Umoja Partnership, Kenya

The Umoja Partnership has been supported by Tab Global Missions since 2007.  Many faiths, from different cultures, on two different continents are united in service to keep Kenyan children in school, thereby changing their lives forever. The mission collaborates with western Kenyan communities to remove education barriers for primary, secondary and post secondary aged students who are orphaned or vulnerable. In 2022, school lunch was provided to 20 public schools serving over 4300 children daily.  The maize and beans lunches are locally sourced and prepared by community volunteers.  Even though elementary school is compulsory and free in Kenya, barriers still prevent children from attending. Kenyan staff identify needs and provide uniforms, solar lamps, blankets, hygiene products, school lunches, housing and empowerment programs (mentoring)—all designed to keep students in school. The Umoja Partnership includes congregations, volunteers, teachers, community members, staff, guardians and donors working together to give thousands of children a chance for success. Umoja is changing communities one child at a time.  You can find out more about this ministry at:  www.umojapartnership.org or up@umojapartnership.org

Michael and Kay Johnson

Though forewarned of the habit-forming nature of serving Christ, the Johnsons have continued to do so with World Gospel Mission since 1989. God has used them in several venues, including Tenwek Hospita,l and Kijabe and Saint Mary’s Mission Hospitals in Kenya. When in the United States, the Johnsons make their home in Philadelphia. The Johnsons have four adult children: Elijah, Christina, Emmanuel and Keturah.

Missio-Link International

MissioLink equips, resources and enables leadership and ministry in local churches, and through the Alpiniș Leadership Center.MissioLink acts in prevention and assistance for girls who are survivors of severe abuse and traffic, and for disadvantaged children in Romania.

The 1989 anti-Communist Revolution brought much hope to Romanians, but it also revealed serious social, economic, and moral problems caused by the deep scars of over 45 years of Communism.
Pastor Eugen Groza (1954-2018) and a group of capable Romanian leaders who worked together for over 25 years, formed MLI in 2001 to address the material and spiritual needs of the Romanian people through a variety of successful ministry initiatives.  The MLI ministries and their fantastic staff are currently led by Tab friend Emil Toader, Pastor at ”Holy Trinity” Baptist Church in Timisoara, Romania.  Learn more about MLI.https://mli.ro/home-en/

Church in Zimnicea, Romania

Many of Tab’s members went to Romania to build the church in Zimnicea. It was dedicated in October 1996 with more than 300 people in attendance. Zimnicea is a port city on the Danube River along the southern border of Romania. There are few evangelical churches in the area. The construction involved 33 members from Tabernacle Presbyterian Church and six mission trips during four years.  Tab continues to support the church and congregation in Zimnicea as well partnering with the leadership of churches in the Alexandria, Romania area.

Mark and Elizabeth Wittig

Mark, with his wife Elizabeth, lead a sports ministry called the Christian Union Sports Club (CUSC) in the city of Medellin, Colombia. Founded in 1991, during the days of great violence brought about by the Medellin Drug Cartel, the CUSC uses organized soccer and the team environment to evangelize and disciple children and youth, and their families from the more vulnerable areas of the city and country.  Over 39,000 participants have been impacted by the Gospel since 1991, which has been part of the positive transformation that has occurred in the city.  You can find out more about this ministry at: www.cosdecol.com
