April Update 2020



                  Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

Time for an update again, but as most of the world right now, we don’t have a lot to update. Haha. But we want you to know that we are praying that God is protecting you and keeping you safe through all of this COVID-19 stuff going on around the world.

Thailand like all the other countries in the world has put in place an emergency decree and the government is putting into place social distancing and stay home laws. We also have a curfew  in place from 10 pm to 4 Am and closed our country to everyone.  No one can enter the country or travel at this time. 

So, Annie and I too, are confined to home and not going out for anything except the doctor. We order all of our food from restaurants for lunch and then eat something simple for dinner.  We order our other foods from an online store when we can.  We only go out shopping when it is absolutely necessary.

As of today there are over 2500 people with the virus in the whole country of Thailand at this time. In our city there has been only 6 people infected so far and 4 of them are healed and back home already.  For right now the nation wide numbers of infections are going down every day, only 29 yesterday. So I guess we are doing pretty good in comparison to many other countries. Annie and I pray healing and protection scriptures over us every day and pray for us and all of you as well.  Praying for this too to pass soon.


All the churches that we minister in are live streaming on facebook as well.  Annie and I are encouraging and disciplining the pastors we work with via video chat as well. 















I want to give a big shout out to Saints (Church) on the Rock Foundation in Buriram.  They are only a small foundation but they are doing a big work for Jesus. Over the last week or so they have been reaching out to their community by making face shields and and giving them to the local hospitals in their area!  So far they have given out 2000 Face Shields and 1500 face  masks to 10 local hospitals, 1 hotel and 2 companies.  They are presently providing food for anyone who has been affected by the Covid-19 situation and can not afford to buys their own. They are letting their light shine for Jesus! 

Thank God for Pastor Bob and the leaders of Saints on the Rock Foundation for having the heart of God to reach out to their community during this time of crisis. Also thanks to all the people who have sowed into the foundation that make all of this possible.

I want you to know we appreciate you so much for your faithful support and prayers during these times of crisis and we are praying fervently for your provision as well.

We love y’all so much and thank you so much.

Ralph and Annie
