MERRY CHRISTMAS AND DECEMBER UPDATE

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Greetings in the Name of the Lord and Merry Christmas to everyone!  We pray that every one of you will be blessed as we celebrate the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  May all of your needs be met and your lives be filled with peace, joy and happiness during this Holiday season!  As we go into the New Year, Annie and I pray that you will be more blessed this year than ever before!  These are exciting times that we are living in and God is up to something big In the near future.  I pray it will be this year and we will all see great things in 2014!

Annie and I are excited because we will be coming to the USA real soon.   Actually we were going to wait one more year till 2015 before making another trip but we have been invited to an important meeting which we feel is God’s will for our life.  When Annie and I prayed about coming, we felt an excitement in our spirits and so here we come.

 

We will be in America from February 26^th until April 21^st of 2014. Please pray for our trip to be safe and all provisions for airline tickets and expenses will be met.  If anyone would like to help us with our expenses please send me an email.  One of our biggest needs is a car while we are there visiting, so if you have an extra car or know someone please email me and let me know.  The month of March is full already but we need to fill the Sundays and Wednesdays in the month of April, so please pray and if anyone wants to schedule us send me an email as well.

Things here in Thailand are going great!  Annie and I had the privilege to help out with two small churches this Christmas.  We were the guest speakers at both celebrations.  We were able to celebrate Christmas by 3 people being water baptized and also this last Sunday we had one man give his life to the Lord!  What a great birthday present we were able to give to our Lord Jesus!  We are so happy and pleased to be able to help out with these small churches and it is a blessing to be able to help them and encourage them. God is good!

Church here in Prakhonchai is going great!  Everyone here is in the Christmas spirit as well.  This week we will be caroling house to house again.  This is a fun time as we go all night long for 3 or 4 nights visiting houses in the villages all around our area.  We cover at least a 50 to 60 mile radius from our church.  God is good! 

Also here in Prakhonchai, we are becoming an international church.  We have 3 new people coming to the church now from Cameroon, Africa.  They are here in Thailand to teach English at the local schools here and are all Christian.  They have chosen us as a church home while they are here.  They have been such a blessing. God is good!  Annie said, she has always wanted to go to Africa and now God is bringing Africa to us!  Hahaha.

God bless you and have a wonderful Holiday season.

We love you all!

Ralph and Annie

June Update 2013

Greetings Everyone in the Name of Jesus!

Well it is time for another update already. This month has been a much needed time of resting for Annie and I. We are presently in Germany visiting our son whom we have not seen in over 8 years. This is the first time in 25 years of ministry that we have taken a real vacation like this and it has been worth it.  We have got to do a lot of site seeing and have had an opportunity to spend some quality time with our son and his family.  We have really enjoyed this time so far and have been blessed.  We have only 4 more days till we head back home to Thailand. It will be good to get back home and back to our serving The Lord but we will miss our son and his family.  We thank The Lord for this time of rest and relaxation. 

We are hearing good reports from Prakhonchai since we have been here. There has been at least 4 more people come to The Lord this month and God is moving mightily in every service. God is so good to the church and the ministry there.

We have heard from the Philippines and all of our churches there have been approved by the government. So Church on the Rock, KE Resources is now a registered religious organization in the Philippines. Please pray for all of our churches there and we will be starting an online bible school starting next month. We have many students already registered for learning already. We are looking forward to seeing what God is going to do throughout this next year there. 

Annie and I will be ministering in a conference of a large organization in November of this year. Can everyone please start praying for us even now that God will use us as a blessing and we will get a Word from The Lord for the right time?

Please pray for our ministry because we feel that this is the time for Annie and I to start reaching out to more churches and leaders to encourage them and minister to them. We know that if the time is right God will open the doors but we must pray too. Amen?

Annie and I thank you and appreciate everyone of you for your prayers and support. We know that we could not do what we do without each and everyone of you.  May God bless you all in everything you do!

We love you,

 Ralph and Annie

May Update 2013

Greetings Everyone in the Name of Jesus!

Wow, May has been an exciting month.  We just returned from ministering in the Philippines and God blessed us in so many ways!  In Manila, we were blessed by being able to participate in a children’s feeding program, minister in two churches, ordain 6 pastors and receive 3 churches into fellowship with KE Resources.  Annie and I were able to preach the Word of God and we saw God touch and minister to many people.  We had the privilege of praying for the little kids, preaching to the adults and youth as well.  It was a blessed time.

  

Then we went to Butuan, about an hour flight from Manila.  We had the privilege to minister in a village church where God moved and touched many people as well.  I preached in the morning and Annie shared in the afternoon.  I think this was the best I have ever seen Annie minister.  God is good!  The people were all touched by God and ministered to by the Word.  

 

The next day we were able to be the guest speakers at the 2 year anniversary of the COTR Butuan Church.  I preached at the anniversary service than afterwards ordained 4 more pastors and received 3 more churches into our fellowship.  Annie ministered in the afternoon and prayed for all the women and God delivered many women and healed one lady that was paralyzed on her right side.  She was totally healed and was walking and using her hand when she left!  Praise God.  After that we were able to participate in a wedding as well.  Praise God.

 

 

 

We had a great trip and met many new pastors with who we will be working with to expand the Kingdom of God together in the Philippines.  We also will be establishing an online bible school and many other projects in the future.  Please pray for us as we continue to work together.  

Here back home at Prakhonchai church, God is still moving!  We have seen souls still being saved every week.  The weekend that we returned from the Philippines, we had a baptism service.  We were able to baptize over 10 people at the lake after church!  God is good!

 

Please continue to pray for Annie and I’s health.  Annie is doing much better and getting stronger all the time.  I had a problem with my hip and joints being bruised some how, not sure how.  I don’t remember hitting anything, but came back with a lot of pain where my femur bone connects to my hip and now bruised even to my abdomen.  It is getting better every day and no more pain, praise God but please pray for us.

Please pray for Annie and I, we leave on the 30^th of May for Germany.  We will be there for 4 weeks visiting my youngest son, who we have not seen in over 8 years.  This is the first time that Annie and I have ever taken this long of a vacation in the 25 years of ministry we have been serving God.  We are praying this will be a time of quality time with our son and new family.  We have a 3 year old granddaughter there that we have never seen in person.  Please pray for us and also for our finances for this trip as well.

We want to thank everyone for your prayers and financial support which makes all of this possible! We are working together to expand the Kingdom of God!  May God bless you abundantly in all your do!

We love you!

Ralph & Annie
