November Update 2016

Greetings everyone in the name of Jesus! 

We completed our 20 year anniversary month with a bang.  We were busy all month and God used us to bless and minister to many people who love God. 

The Old Building

New Building

We started off the month of October at a new church back in Buriram province where we just moved from.  The church started with only 4 people and has grown to over 30 in one year and still growing.  We have know the pastor since he was 11 years old and he is now 27 and on fire for God and being used in a mighty way.  We have now added this church to our monthly schedule and will be helping him to develop his leaders and church.  The old building they were renting was completely out of room and they decided to find a bigger place to rent. They have found a place that will seat around 100 people and needed help with the deposits and moving expenses which we give a big thank you to Pastor Ron Hammonds and Golden Triangle Church On The Rock for giving him a boost with an offering to make this move.  We just held our first service in this new building and we were almost full, praise God. We  have committed to help them with the rent until they grow a little more but they still have some important needs to be fulfilled.  They need more chairs already, a projector, awning in front and back and some ceiling fans for around $1500 USD all together. If anyone is interested in helping or sowing a seed to this growing church just let me know and I will instruct you on how to get it to us. It is good seed and will surely reap a harvest. We are excited what God is going to do this coming year in this church.

The second weekend we were back in New Life Church Tap Kwang.  Annie and I thank God for being able to minister in this church. The members have grown tremendously over the last few years and is becoming a strong church.  It is an honor and a blessing for us to be able to help them each month.

The third weekend we were able to rest before we went to Surin province to do a wedding for two of our spiritual grandchildren on Friday of the fourth weekend. It was a beautiful wedding and anointed of God. It was a challenge for me to do the ceremony in Thai but by God's grace and anointing it all went okay.  Annie did the blessing of the new couple as well, it was a lot of fun. Thanks to those who were praying because your prayers definitely were heard by God and He turned it all out to be beautiful.

After the wedding on Friday, we immediately made a 5 hour drive to Saraburi province for a church camp. We ministered in the camp Saturday and Sunday and God once again blessed us with his anointing and many people were touched and changed by the presence of God.

The last weekend of the month we were back here in Lamp of Khon Kaen church.  Because of the mourning for the King's passing on October 13th, there was only one service.  We decided that Annie would preach and God anointed her as she shared about God's true love. It was a great service and God moved among us. 

Please pray for the country of Thailand because the whole country is in mourning for a month and the government for one year over the death of the King. The King was like a father to the people of Thailand and they miss him very much.  No one will ever be able to take his place.  He was a great king who loved his country and his people. He will be missed forever more.  Please pray that Thailand will recover and go on as a great nation. Amen?

Please continue to pray for Annie and I as we go into this next 20 years with a bang.  Pray for our health, protection and provision as we have added another church to visit each month. It is because of your prayers and financial support that Annie and I can visit these small churches and help them to develop and grow. We appreciate everyone of you and pray every day that God will bless you with many returns.
We love you all!

Ralph and Annie
