November Update 2017

                 Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Greetings in the name of Jesus!  We pray you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday and we pray God will bless you all!

We closed out the month of October at Lamp of KHON KAEN Church. We didn’t have a Friday night session with the kids this month because of school break and many of them were gone.  But we did minister on Sunday and Annie preached the service.  God used her in a great way. 

We started out this month at Thai Church Buriram. The church is doing great and we see the Lord changing lives and people growing in the Spirit each and every month.  Keep them in prayer because after the first of the year they are going to start building their first building.  The land have been donated already and now for the building project.  Please pray that God will provide!

We just ministered in COTR of Life Ratanawapi in Nong Khai province.   They are doing great so far.  This is a new church plant which started with just the pastor and their family.  They presently have twelve members already.  Annie and I are so blessed to be able to help them develop their church and honored that they took the COTR name as well.

Please begin to agree with us in prayer for next April because we are in the planning stage of a ministry trip to the Philippines.  We have a tentative schedule already and we will be there a full two weeks ministering in Manila and also to three churches on the Island of Butuan.  Please pray for Gods will to be done and we will be able Be a blessing!   Please pray for provision as well because this trip is outside of our budget range and will need additional support to make this trip a great blessing to our COTR churches there.  We will need an additional $3500.00 for this trip, so if anyone would like to make a donation to help us, please let me know and I will direct you as to how you can do that.  I am excited about this trip and know God is going to minister and bless many.

Continue to pray for our direction and ministry as we go into the New Year.  Annie and I are excited about this new season of ministry for us here in Thailand. God is leading us to help churches that are just starting up or new church plants.  Buriram was our first one and is doing great so far and this last weekend we started by helping COTR Of Life up by the border of Laos. There is a possibility that we will be able do help with another church plant close to Buriram after the first of the year. We are excited about this stage of life as God is leading us to help with these brand new churches and helping them to grow and build a solid foundation to build on.

Please pray for us that we will stay healthy, have strength and energy, God’s will be done and He will continue to provide for all our needs.  Amen!

We praise God every day for you guys and that God will meet all of your needs as well. You all have been such a blessing to us and we pray God will bless you in all that you do!

We love you!

Ralph & Annie
