Well, things here in Thailand are getting better for traveling now and seems like the world is opening up too. Annie and I are praying about a visit to America in 2023 but we have 2 major challenges to overcome to be able to make the trip. Our daughter has just sold their house and are now renting a small home which is unfortunately too small to accommodate all of us when we visit. So the first and biggest challenge is we will need a place to stay for the whole time we are there. We were wanting to make an extended visit for about 5 months but we can adapt however long we have a place available to stay. We can leave here in March and stay till September, so if anyone has a place available or a place we can rent real cheap for 3 to 5 months please let me know.
The second big challenge is as always, a car to use for the duration of our stay. If anyone has one we can rent cheap or use would be a big blessing to us. We really want to visit everyone next year but we will have to overcome these challenges to be able to visit. If not, we will most likely have to wait another year to see what we can do. So please pray for us in this area and we are open for suggestions or if anyone can help us With accommodations please let me know. Next year will be here before we know it. Amen?
We were able to minister at COTR Buriram last month and was such a blessing to be back to an almost normal services now. Looks like we will be able to continue to minister every month like before. Thank you for all your prayers.
We got a praise report back from the pastor at the orphanage we visited in May. Thank God for all those who gave financially to bless them. Several people gave generously and we had a substantial amount that we were able to bless them with. The pastor called Pastor Bob and was crying after he opened the envelope with the blessing. He said it was the first time in 26years of ministry that he had that much in his hand at one time. The roof on the two houses where the kids stay needed to be repaired and he had no means to repair them. The blessing we gave covered the repairs and much more. He was praising God for all of you who gave! Hallelujah! God is good!
On July 9, 1989, Annie and i received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit at the same time in a classroom setting. It changed our life for ever! We always celebrate this special day, giving thanks to God for all he has done in our life. From lay ministry, jail & prison ministry, pastor and now missionaries for over 33 years. It has not been easy all these years but it has been worth it and we wouldn’t change a thing. Praise God for all He is doing and going to do in our lives for at least a few more years. Amen?
Okay thanks to everyone for your support and prayers! We pray God bless you in every way possible and all of your needs be fulfilled! Please continue to pray for our provision, protection and health. Also keep us in prayer for next year as well.
We love y’all!
Ralph and Annie
