TIM
CUMMINGS
Tim and Renee Cummings, with their four
children Maria (6), Elisabeth (4), Jude (2), and Anna (10 weeks), have
been asked to go to Trinidad, where Tim plans to labor alongside Pastor
Ramzan Hosein in the work of Trinidad and Tobago Bible College. Tim and
Renee have been married for seven years, and after much prayer and
thought, have decided to take this step in dependence on the Lord. Being
Vice President of the WICM Board, Bob Phillips will be working alongside
of Ramzan & Jennifer. First Baptist, Marydel, where Bob pastors is the
sponsoring church for the Hosein’s ministries. Therefore WORLDMISSION
will be the missionary organization that will be receiving and
dispersing the financial donations that will be received by Tim and
Renee. If you want to support Tim and Renee’s ministry you may do so
through the Pay Pal Account set up on this page. Tim will also be
assisting WORLDMISSION’S Ministry in Belize from time to time as well.

Tim and Renee met in their youth, and their
relationship developed while they both majored in Interdisciplinary
Studies, and focused on developing a view of the world where all their
thinking was subject to the Word of God. While Renee had been converted
as a teenager, Tim was changed by the Holy Spirit in his sophomore year
of college, after a period of deep depression. In his senior year, Tim
wrote a paper entitled “A Covenantal Approach to Higher Education.” His
interest in college education done biblically dates to his college
days.
After college, Tim taught at at a
School in Bellmawr, NJ, for 4½ years, where he developed an interest in
teaching history from a biblical perspective. He has trained for church
ministry in several churches in the States, and received his M.Div.
degree from Greenville Seminary in South Carolina. He is pursuing a
Th.M. degree from the same seminary, and has written a thesis for the
purpose on the sufficiency of Scripture for academic subjects at the
college level.
Renee met Jennifer Hosein while Renee was a
teenager at French Creek Bible Conference, and Tim met Ramzan while
Ramzan was an intern at a Church in Pole Tavern, New Jersey. About 1½
years ago Josh Biondi, a friend of Tim’s at Calvary Church in Wildwood,
New Jersey, expressed interest in taking a short-term missions trip,
possibly somewhere in the Caribbean. Tim contacted Ramzan about this,
and Ramzan ended up inviting Tim to come down to teach a modular,
two-week course in Apologetics. During this time, the Lord impressed on
Tim a strong desire to continue to assist with the work of Trinidad and
Tobago Bible College. Tim and Renee discussed and prayed for months
about the opportunity of moving to Trinidad to assist in this work, and
concluded that they would pursue this opportunity of fulfilling the
Great Commission. Tim has since traveled to Trinidad to teach another
course on medieval church history. He has been asked by the board of
TTBC to come and assist with the work of administration, networking, and
teaching in this young institution.
Tim and Renee’s plan is
to leave for Trinidad in two years, and they intend to raise funds for
the first three years of their work in Trinidad. The total amount they
have been advised to attempt to raise would amount to 72 commitments to
give $30.00 per month for five years (two years of waiting and three in
Trinidad).
There are many
opportunities to advance the kingdom of God through giving. Talk to God
about the matter, and then give to the specific work, and give the
specific amount as you purpose in your heart, cheerfully. “So
let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of
necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all
grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all
things, may have an abundance for every good work” (II
Corinthians 9:7-8, NKJV). You can donate directly to Tim by clicking on
