January Update 2023

 

                              Greetings in the Name of Jesus!

We pray that you are being blessed in every way this New year!  Annie and I have been praying hard about our trip to America this year.  We have been considering our benefits and costs and right now the costs outnumber the benefits. The only real benefit is we would get to see everyone and fellowship with you again.  Everything else just doesn’t seem to be working out for us.  Airfare is very expensive during the time we want to visit, we haven’t been able to find a place to stay or rent, so we would have to travel from place to place and live out of a hotel the whole time. Everything has just not fallen into place like it should, so we are believing that the timing is just not right. Also, our ministry is starting to pick up again after a long pause from Covid.  So, we are going to postpone our trip to a later time. Maybe later this year or next year. Thanks to everybody for your prayers and encouragement during this time.  We would love to see all of you because we miss everyone very much and we will continue to pray towards visiting when the time is right and asking God to show us when.  Amen?

During Christmas we were able to minister and celebrate 2 times!  Praise God!  Annie was able to teach before the service at both churches and I preached the Christmas message, Amazing Christmas is an Amazing Gift of God to everyone!  “Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!” 2 Corinthians 9:15 NLT















On the 18th, we celebrated with our Church on the Rock Buriram family.  It was a great service and time of fun, games and fellowship.  We truly were blessed.












On the 25th, we celebrated at Chum Phae Church.  It was a great time as well, because we had not ministered there for a couple of years and it was great to see everyone again.  To God be the Glory for everything.

Our ministry is picking up as we enter the new year.  This month, we are ministering three weekends already, so we are excited for new beginnings this year.  We will be at COTR Buriram, New Life Church Ban Gruat, and at Lamp of Khon Kaen church.  So prayers are needed for strength and health as we start getting out more.  Pray we will be a blessing at every church. Amen?

Continue to pray for our health, strength and provision as we go into this new year! We are always praying for you to be blessed, protected and all of your needs to be met! Thank you to all who are supporting and praying for us!  We appreciate every one of you!

We love y’all!

Ralph and Annie
