Tikvah Olam Ministries ~ About Us ~

Home

We warmly welcome you to Tikvah Olam Ministries. This ministry was birthed through a passion to see lives changed, made whole and reconciled to God's divine Kingship.  We share that the only hope with eternal benefits, is in the truth of God's Word.  Our life's goal and dedication rests in inspiring others to discover and embrace this same hope for themselves. There is meaning and direction and a great future for those who grab hold of the promises given through covenant agreement and rightful inheritance.  By teaching "the way of God in truth" (Mark 12:14) we endeavor to connect people to his passion and his purpose for their lives. Our hope is that you truly encounter Christ in a real way, in a way as such that your life will never be the same. We share a burden for unity within the body of Christ, recognizing our greatest strength together can overcome our greatest weaknesses. Jesus said a house divided against itself will not stand(Luke 11:17). We pray that you stand with us in our burden, one body under Gods authority, accomplishing his purpose, his will.

Eileen was born in Co. Waterford Ireland.  She grew up in a home that was shared by eight other siblings.  As a child she would often hear her father tell stories of biblical characters and talk scripture but was never induced fully into the faith until 2000.  She has been a missionary to India and Mexico, with a passion for reaching out and touching lives with the love and power of the gospel.  She has also been actively involved in successfully leading women's group studies over the years at rescue missions, where she has had the opportunity to teach on topics relative to their circumstances or needs.  "The greatest joy came as I watched these ladies being transformed, through the enlightenment and activation of living out God's truth and hope in their daily lives."  Eileen met her husband Terry six weeks after her father went to be with the Lord in 2006.  They each fell in love with the other's heart and passion to serve God.  They were married July 7th 2007.  They have three children between them ages 5, 7, and 8.  Eileen and Terry are presently co-writing their first book together.

Terry was born in Spokane, Washington and is one of four other siblings.  At the age of twenty Terry felt a call to pastor and teach which led him to study at Multnomah Bible College and Seminary in Portland Oregon, where he received his BA in Biblical and Theological Studies.  He also attended Moody Graduate School to finish his MTh.  Bible school he insists, "was more like open heart surgery, God was doing a deeper work within me, making me fully realize the importance of placing Him above and before all else in my life."  Terry's love for God and his passion for teaching inspire godliness while imparting effective use of God's Word, challenging people to walk a more excellent way.  Terry's ministry journey has led him to hold an associate pastor position in both children and adult ministries.  He has also been involved in foreign missions to Russia and Sweden.  Through this journey, Terry has been able to maintain an active military career serving his country through the USAF.  He considers it a true honor to do so. He feels abundantly blessed to have his wife Eileen alongside him in life.  Both of them delight in serving the Lord and do so with an exuberance and joy.  He feels equally blessed to have his son Conor and mother in law involved in various aspects of Tikvah Olam Ministries.

Conor

- Gave his life to the Lord at age Four. - Started his witness to other kids (and anyone else who would listen) at age   Five. - He entered public school for the first time at the age of 6 and through some   tough experiences there grew a deeper heart for the things of God. - He openly prayed with the kids around him and shared how Jesus cared   about them, knew their hurts, and wanted to be their friend. It turned out   to be a great year of growth for Conor. - He is a mighty little soldier for God's Kingdom. - Conor has been on missions trips to Mexico where he got to serve through    ministering to the orphans and street kids. - Nothing delights him more than God's nature and considers himself a   "scientist in progress."

Kathleen "Nanny" Murphy was born in Dublin Ireland and moved to the United States in the 1990's.  Mother to nine children who are now scattered all over the world, she enjoys her golden years keeping up and in touch with them all.  She has always had a good relationship with the Lord and it just keeps getting better and better over the years.  She is our prayer warrior especially in times of difficult circumstances and need.  She is known as a "non backer downer" when it comes to donning the armour and fighting those battles.  Every night she faithfully and intentionally reads off the names from her long prayer list and is a powerful intercessor.  We are delighted to have her on our ministry team.
