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 30th 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
