July Update 2018

 
                  Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

We pray you are all being blessed.  Annie and I continued this month with continuing to minister in our scheduled churches.  We are being blessed by being able to minister and watch these churches grow in the Lord. 

 







We started out the month at Lamp of Khon Kaen Church.  I taught the young people in the morning and the Annie preached in the main service.  God moved among us and had one person receive Jesus in their heart!

 









We had a special blessing this month.  We went to Bangkok Monday to Friday and was able to visit our dear friends from Texas (Danny and Peggy Thornton) as they ministered in a church there.  What a great blessing to be able to sit in while they ministered and taught on street evangelism.  We were truly blessed. 

 
While we were there in Bangkok, we ran across a young man that we had not seen for 18 years. We knew him when he had just came from Laos and was struggling during that time.  We also was able to use him to help us minister in a small village during that time.  He is now grown up, married with 2 children, and a pastor s]at a church in central Thailand.  Praise God!

 









After Bangkok we were back at Chum PHAE Church for the Sunday service.  Annie taught the first round and then I preached in the regular service. We preached about relationship and God blessed us all.

 








Then we went on to Thai Buriram church and were blessed.  Annie taught and then I preached on Evangelism this month. Every month while we are here, I spend Monday mornings teaching the Bible to Pastor Bob.  It has been a blessing and great opportunity to disciple him each month.  Pray for us as we continue this special ministry and starting this month we have another minister from out in a village joining us for the teaching.  Praise God, I love teaching and making disciples!

Please keep us in prayer this month and next.  We have a church scheduled for every weekend for 10 weeks, so pray for our health, energy and strength for the both of us. In September we will be having a team visit us so pray Gods will be done and God will lead us while they are here.

Pray for God’s direction and will to be done in our ministry next year as well.  We have been invited to bring a team from Thailand to the Philippines next year during the month of May.  Also, we are praying about coming back to America either this Fall or next summer.  I have been looking for reasonable price tickets but have not found any yet.  Haha. Pray I will be able to find some cheap tickets somehow so we can go and visit you all.  We miss you all!  Haha

God bless everyone and we pray for all of you every day.  A special thanks to all of you who support us financially and pray for us because we could not do what we do without you!

We love you!

Ralph & Annie
