September Update 2011


Greetings Everyone!

Wow, we have a lot to report this month because we have been busy serving the Lord!  First the news about the church here in Prakhonchai.  Souls are still being saved and the house is full every week now.  We are starting to see fruit from the radio station too!  We have had visitors come to church because they have heard the program on the radio.  Also there are teachers that are listening to the English broadcasts to help their English!  LOL God is good.  The radio station has been such a blessing, not only does it give us a means to evangelize but also to reach out to our members everyday and help them grow through teachings and preachings every day. 

The last week of August, Annie and I were blessed to be able to go to Nepal and it was a great blessing to us and to the people there as well. God answered all of our prayers.  We had favor with the airlines, had great weather the whole week, the Nepal people were blessed and we were blessed.  God moved in every service all throughout the week.  We had a great service on Saturday morning.  God moved in the service and there were around 20 – 25 people responded to the altar call for salvation and re-dedication.  Monday – Wednesday morning was the Mission’s Conference.  He was there with His presence in every meeting and the word that God gave me before hand was the right word for this conference.  Everything fell right into place and everyone was blessed.  Wednesday afternoon, the Bible School Graduation was held.  This year 16 students graduated and are equipped for the ministry in their perspective regions.  I was encouraged to see their desire to serve God and to win souls.   We were able to visit the orphanage at the new building.    We were able to pray for the kids and share a word of encouragement for them.  Annie had a great time loving on all of the women and encouraging them.  Annie and Pastor Tej’s wife became great friends and had a lot of fun together.  I am very happy that Annie was able to go on this trip for she was a great blessing to all of them as well.

After returning from Nepal, we had only one week and we went to the North of Thailand to help teach in a Calvary Bible School.  There were 27 students from Burma and Northern Thailand attending this session.  It was such a blessing because of their hunger for the word and passion for Jesus! 

We just returned Saturday and now in two weeks from today we will take a team of 23 people to Vietnam for a missions trip there.  Please pray for this trip, it is the first time we have had a team go out and minister in another country.  The worship team will be leading worship in the morning and I will be preaching.  Please pray God will use us all in a great way.

Now last but not least!  LOL  Probably the biggest!  We are going to be in America for the Holidays this year.  It will be the first time in 16 years.  Our daughter is going to have an operation right after the new year, so we have to schedule our time to visit America so we can be there to help out.  We will be in America from November 8 to January 30.  If there are any churches who want us to come and share please send me a message and let me know.  We have already scheduled all of the Sundays in November, so be sure and contact me soon to set a date.  We have only the Sundays in Dec and Jan available and we cannot extend our trip this year.  Amen?

Okay, please pray for us in every area.  Pray for strength, good health, and provision for everything we have to to! 

We love you!
