December Update 2017

 
 
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Greetings everyone and we are praying that you are all blessed during the holidays and you have a wonderful Christmas and a very prosperous New Year! 

 





We finished up November in Lamp of Khon Kaen Church and Annie preached the Word and many were blessed.  The church is doing great and all the teens are doing good too!

 





We started December at Thai Buriram Church.  We had a great service and fellowship this weekend with two people receiving Jesus into their hearts for the first time! Praise God!  We also had a surprise from the landlord because he raised the rent to a price the church can not afford.  The good news is that one member is going to let the church build a building on her property using the existing carport and convert it into a church building.  Once it is finished they will be able to seat around 80 - 100 members.  It is going to cost them around $3,000 USD to complete the whole thing.  I sent out an email for the special need and instantly got a response from friends that gave the entire amount to finish the whole building.   Hallelujah, God is good!  We pray God will bless them with many returns. They started the building already and we ask that you will pray for it to be finished by the 7th of January so they can have service there because they have to be out of the rental building by the end of December.

 





This year we will be doing 2 Christmas services. We just finished our first Christmas service at Tap Kwang, Saraburi. God truly blessed us and it was a wonderful time worshipping Jesus.  I preached about the mystery and miracle of Christmas.  We had two people give their lives to Jesus and in the afternoon we had lots of games and fun.  Next week we will have our second service at Lamp of Khon Kaen Church.  We are praying that more will be saved. Amen?

We have another marriage with one of our spiritual grandchildren in January.  Please keep me in prayer because these weddings are all in the Thai language and are very challenging for me. Lol. So I need all the prayer I can get. Amen?

Wow, it is hard to believe that this year is already over.  The years are passing so fast now, guess it is because of our age.  Haha.  We are so blessed by God to have good health, energy and strength to continue to serve Jesus here in Thailand.  Please pray that God will continue to strengthen us and give us good health.  Please pray for us as we go into the New Year that God will direct us in our scheduling of the churches we visit every month.  We also want to do some traveling to other countries so pray we hear from God and that His will be done.

Once again, Annie and I wish you all a great time with your family and friends this holiday season!

We love you All!

Ralph & Annie
