Greetings Everyone in the name of the Lord!
The first update of the year! Praise God for all things. We pray that all of you had a great and wonderful Christmas and New Year Celebration. Annie and I made it through okay by staying home for a week and resting. It has become our tradition because of the dangerous roads during this time. But it is kind of fun just staying home for a change. Amen?

We
also celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary this year! Wow, only
three more years till we have been together for half a century! We are
both looking forward to serving God for many more years! Amen?
Guess
I will start out this update with the biggest news so far this year.
The church we support in Buriram has been in an organization that
restricts them from following their vision for missions and many other
things. Early this month, The pastor contacted me and said he was going
to leave that organization and become independent with another church
that is certifying his church. He asked me if he could use the name of
Church on the Rock for his church. Of course I said yes! We have been
working with him now for three years already and know his vision and his
character as a faithful, honest and trustworthy minister. He loves God
and loves his people in the church.

| Welcome COTR Buriram! |
So, the second weekend of
this month, we decided to establish the church as COTR Buriram and bring
them into affiliation with KE Resources and COTRGT in America and also
ordain him in our organization as well. So, Praise God, we now have a
COTR in Thailand! We are excited for Pastor Bob and the church.
They already have a missionary organization in Nepal that comes under the church. It is called Hug Center and works with taking girls out of sex trafficking and teaches them a skill and helps them to return to a normal life. They support a missionary to work in the center as well! So we are excited about what God is going to do in the future with COTR Buriram. Please keep them in your prayers!

We ended last
month by spending Christmas service in Saraburi at the church we used to
visit. We had a great time with an outreach on Saturday and then Annie
and I ministered on Sunday morning.
We started out the first
Sunday of 2019 by ministering in the Chum Phae Church on first Fruits
Sunday! Annie taught the Sunday school and I preached in the main
service. God is good!
Praise God! We have a car for the whole time we are in America this year! We appreciate and thank God for Bruce Hamilton from COTRGT IN Beaumont. He is letting us use his car! May God bless him over and above all of his needs and wants!
Annie and I are excited because we will be on our way in about 2 months. We still have lots of dates available so please let us know if you would like for us to share in your church. Here are our available dates:
April 10, 14, 17, & 21
May 1, 5, 8, 12, 15,
June 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26, 30.
Please pray that we will be able to get our itinerary set up before we leave Thailand. Amen?
We are going to try and bring Pastor Bob from COTR Buriram to the states from 15 May to 15 June also. So please pray for him to have favor with the US embassy to get a visa, for provision for airfare and expenses while in America. If anyone would like to help with expenses just let me know and if and when he gets a visa we can start receiving any help at that time.
Okay, keep us in pray for protection, provision, health and energy to serve God! We also have some unspoken prayer requests. I cannot go into details but there is some opposition coming against us. I believe this is because God is getting ready to do some big things in our ministry here in Thailand. So please pray in agreement with us!
God bless everyone and we are praying you all have a very prosperous new year.
We love you all!
