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 26th until April 21st 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
