Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus!
We pray that you are having a blessed New Year already and that God will prosper you all throughout this year! Amen! I apologize for being so late with this update. I was sick for a week with a stomach virus or bad food and then this last week have had a bad case of the flu! Feeling much better today, so getting this our while I can.
We
finished year 2017 with Christmas Service at Lamp Of Khon Kaen Church
and had a great service and lots of fun! I preached on the mystery and
miracle of Jesus and we got two miracles, two souls received Jesus as
their Lord. A long time member’s husband, whom the pastor had been
witnessing to for over 8 years, came forward during the altar call to
pray and receive Jesus! Hallelujah! God is so good!
The first
Sunday of the year we celebrated at Thai Buriram Church. As I said in
my last update we are building a new church and it was supposed to be
finished but it wasn’t ready. So, we decided to have church in one of
the member’s house instead and had a great service there. Amen?
God
is so awesome! Annie and I celebrated our 46th anniversary on the 15th
of January and on the 20th of January I had the privilege of
officiating the wedding of one of our spiritual granddaughters. We
have known her since she was around 10 years old. The wedding was huge
and beautiful and attended by hundreds of people who did not know God.
I was able to lift the Name of Jesus and sow many seeds about our
Creator God who created everything including marriage between a man and a
woman. To God be the Glory!
On the 21st of January we were back
at Thai Buriram Church for the dedication of the new building! God is
good! What a miracle from the notice of the landlord about raising the
rent to one month later, a new building was built and now occupied with
this small church! We celebrated with joy for the things God has done!
Thank you to those who helped make this happen!
We have cancelled our trip to the Philippines and will be going to Malaysia instead. So keep us in prayer. We most likely will not be making a trip to America this year as well, maybe next year. We miss all of you but travel is getting so expensive and we have a lot going on this year with the startup churches and trying to get them on their feet! Amen.
Thanks so much to all of you for your prayers and support! You are all such a blessing to us! Please keep us in prayer for good health, strength and energy to serve Him. Pray for our direction for we have new opportunities popping up all the time and we want to be in God’s perfect will as we serve Him.
We love you!
