July Update 2014

 Greetings in the Name of JESUS!

We pray all is well with you and God is continuing to bless you all!

Annie and I are doing great and God is blessing us in all that we do. We just had our routine health checkups this month. Annie's blood work was great, her sugar and  cholesterol levels were normal.  I had a complete physical and looks like I am in good shape. All the blood work was good except my cholesterol was a little bit high. The good news was last year they saw a cyst on both kidneys, one 2.4 cm and one 7 cm, but this year the 7 cm cyst has disappeared!  Praise God!  Now we are believing for the little one to go away too. Amen?  Thank you for all of your prayers for our health, God is answering them. 

Here at the church in Prakhonchai everything is going great and God continues to move every service. I had a first time experience a few weeks ago.  There was an Australian with his Thai family in the service and he and his whole family received JESUS as their Lord.  It was the first time that I preached in Thai and a foreigner got saved!  Thank God he could understand Thai! Praise God!  We are seeing people saved, healed and delivered every week. God is good!

Please pray for our radio station.  Since the military coup, the government has shut down all radio stations so we have not been able to broadcast for about a month now.  The new government has put more restrictions and rules to go by but the good news is that we have all of the necessary paperwork and have followed all the rules. The problem now is we have to get it all approved before we can start broadcasting again. So please pray for God's favor so we can start broadcasting again. It is such a valuable tool for evangelism in our area.  There has been several people get saved via the radio station. So God help us get back on line!  Amen?

Pray for the new building, we are moving along one bite at a time. Keep this project in your prayers as we believe God for all the provision to build our new church. Amen?

God is continuing to bless Annie and I as we go to other churches and minister every other week. We are now ministering to our church and 4 other smaller churches on a regular basis. We are seeing progress and fruit in each church that we are ministering in.  Please pray that God will continue to use us as a blessing everywhere we go. 

I have a special prayer request for the pastor at the church we minister in at Saraburi. His name is pastor Sawai. He has a liver disease and has been very sick over the last two weeks and running a high fever. Please agree with us and pray for a complete healing for his body and that God will do a miracle and heal him completely. Amen?

Please continue to pray for Annie and I as we continue to move out and help other churches. We need good health, strength, energy, and provision to do all of the things God is calling us to do.  We will be ministering in a Church camp again in November with several churches coming together. Much prayer is needed for this meeting.  Also, we are planning a trip to India in October and a trip to Vietnam this year as well.  So please pray for everything to go according to God’s will!  Amen?

Okay God bless you all and thank you so much for your prayers and financial support. Without you we could not do what we do! 

We love you all!

Ralph and Annie

June Update 2014

​
 

Mukdahan, Thailand along the Mekong River

 

Greetings in the Name of the Lord!  

Wow, time flies when your having fun!  It is hard to believe July is almost here already. This year is half over already and things are moving so fast.  We are now reaching out and ministering in four churches other than here in Prakhonchai.   

 

Glory Way Church Mukdahan

Savations!

We were blessed to minister in a new small church in a city on the border of Laos. The name of the church is Glory Way Church Mukdahan and has about 50 member in attendance every week and has home churches as well. We really enjoyed ministering in the church and four people gave their life to Jesus too. We are looking forward to visiting them more in the future.  

This coming Sunday, we will be ministering in the church in Khon Kaen church, which is a blessing too. They have around 100 members and mostly young people. I like ministering to the younger generation, makes me feel younger!  Haha. 

Things are still going great here in Prakhonchai.  Souls are being saved, people are being healed and set free each week.  We are still ministering here every other week.  Annie is teaching the women leaders and I am teaching the men right now. The new building is coming along a little at a time.  Right now the radio has been shut down temporarily because of the coup in Thailand and we are under martial law at the present time. The army came by and checked all of our credentials and everything is in order but all radio stations must wait until they give us the permission to broadcast again.  

Please continue to pray for Thailand as I have already mentioned they are under martial law at the present. But this is not a bad thing for the country and actually things have gotten better. They are getting rid of much of the corruption that was going on from the previous government leaders.   Just pray for everything will move along smoothly and Thailand will be able to return to a true democracy in the future. 

Please continue to pray for our strength, energy and health. We already have plans to visit Vietnam and India this year but we do not know the exact dates yet. But please pray for us to walk in God's will and pray for our provision as well.  

Okay thanks again for all your prayers and financial support.  You all are such a blessing and we need all of you for us to fulfill God's purposes here in Thailand

God bless you all and we love you!

Ralph and Annie

April Update 2014

Greetings Everyone from Thailand!

 

We made it home safe and sound on the 23^rd of April and now we trying to adapt to the time change and get rid of our jet lag.  I think it takes longer when you get older.  Haha.  It feels good to be back home and sleeping in our own bed for a change but we do miss everyone there in America!  

 We had a great time visiting all the churches, our friends and family.  God was so good to us everywhere we went.  God used us to bless many people and we were blessed by many in return!  God also kept us safe and healthy for the whole trip.  Thank you all for your prayers, God has answered them.

Everything here in Thailand is going great and God is has continued to move in the church.  People have continued to get saved during the time we were in America and we saw a lot of new faces Sunday.  In our first service since we have been back, four people gave their lives to Jesus and the week before we came back two people were saved via the radio station.  We have a wedding next weekend and hopefully by then we will be over our jet lag and we will be making our way to visit some of the other churches we have been ministering in.  The new building is coming along a little at a time.  Praise God!

Annie and I are excited about what God is going to do this coming year and next year!  I believe it is going to be a very busy and productive time of ministry.  God is up to something big here in Thailand and many other places in SE Asia.  Please pray with us as we seek God’s direction and leading for our ministry over the next few years.

I want to thank every church and every individual who sowed into our ministry while we were there in America.  God blessed us and our offerings covered all of our expenses.  You all are such a blessing to us. 

Annie and I give a big thanks to those who support us faithfully every month because through all of you, we can do what we do and go where we go.  And if there is church or anyone else who would like to start supporting us on a monthly basis please let me know.  We will need to increase our support base to do all of the things that we believe God is calling us to do. 

Thanks again to everyone, we love you all!

Ralph & Annie

March Update 2014

Greetings in the Name of the Lord!

Praise God, Annie and I are being blessed beyond all measure as we are going from church to church and sharing the Word of God and what God is doing in Thailand.  We spent our first two weeks in the Beaumont area visiting the churches and all of our family there.  We were so blessed by everyone while we were there.

We returned to Duncanville for the COTR Network Of Ministers spring gathering and the birthing of this new organization.  We are excited about what God is going to do through this group of ministers as we build relationships to fulfill the Great Commission all over the world!  If you are interested in being a part of an awesome fellowship of ministers visit their website http://www.cotrnom.com/ and give them a call. Or you can visit the facebook page:

We only have a few more weeks left as we return to Thailand on April 21^st.  We still have two dates available to visit and share with your church if you would like.  Those dates are April 13 and 16.  Please send me an email if you are interested.

Thanks to everyone who is praying for our health and provision, God is answering your prayers.  We still have a way to go to make up our airline tickets and expenses here in America but we are well on our way.  Please keep praying for us and believing with us. 

We love you all!
