Merry Christmas and December Update 2012

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

Annie and I pray that all of you will have a wonderful Christmas and that God will bless you in all that you do! 

Wow, it doesn't seem like it has been a year already.  Seems like it was just a little while ago we were in America eating Turkey, all kinds of sweets and opening Christmas packages with our Daughter's family.  Wow, how quickly our lives can change. 

Then in January, it has been one year since Annie had her mini stroke.  At first looked like she was going to go to heaven before me. She was weak, couldn't use her left side very well and couldn't see hardly anything.  Here we are 11 months later back in Thailand and she is physically stronger than me, walks faster than me, blood sugar and blood pressure stable and eye sight getting better every month. We are still believing for her eye sight to return to normal and God to make her emotions strong and stable again.  I am sitting here wondering what it will be like when December 2013 comes around.  Surely it will be better and God will get all the glory!  Amen?

God has been good to us this year and we have still been able to minister here at the church in Prakhonchai, in Laos and in Vietnam.  Next month will be a step of faith for Annie to start teaching again here in the church.  I believe she is going to be anointed more than ever.  Please pray as she teaches the lady leaders starting the 2nd weekend of January.

I believe next year we will be heading to other nations to minister as well.  I am sure of Laos, Vietnam and now we have already scheduled a trip to the Philippines next May.  I will be the guest speaker at an anniversary of a church and leaders conference and Annie will be teaching the ladies there in two different churches.  This will be the start of a fulfillment of prophesy over our ministry and our lives.  We are excited that God has opened this door for us.  We totally believe that this trip is God's will and we are believing in God to provide for all of our expenses for this trip.  If anyone would like to help us with the expenses for this trip just let me know or you can contribute to the address at the end of this update and in the memo put Dryden Philippine trip.  We are living in exciting times especially here in SE Asia, God is moving in every country and we are happy we can be a part.  Please pray for us as well.

Thanks again to everyone who prays for us and supports us each month, you have truly been a blessing to us over the years and now as well.  We thank God for you every day and ask God to bless you back for all you have given.  We pray that God will bring increase in all that you do.

We love you all!

November Update 2012

Greetings Everyone!

We pray that all of you are being blessed and Happy Thanksgiving to all!  We are so thankful for all of you as we go into this Holiday.  Without all your prayers and support we could not even be here and do the things we are doing.  During this Thanksgiving season, we pray that God will bless you and meet all of your needs.

Well, it is almost Christmas too and that means we are preparing to hand out Christmas bundles to all of the kids in our church.  For only $30.00 per child we can give them something they need for Christmas.So if you are interested in helping this year, you can send a donation to the address at the end of this message.  Just put Thailand Christmas Bundles in the memo and we will make sure it gets to the kids.

We just got back from our missions trip to Vietnam.  It was an awesome trip and God did so much, I probably can't write everything.  It was great from the very beginning.  We were there to minister in a 3 day fasting and prayer meeting that they have every month.  I am so proud of Fon and the worship team.  We took the band, Fon and one other girl with us and they were just awesome in every way.  They brought heaven down everytime they led the worship.  God used Annie in this trip too.  She had a Word of Knowledge and shared the word before I preached.  She gave some awesome words from God.  During the meetings, many were healed and delivered and in the three day meetings there were 14 people saved.  The kids also stayed on Thursday night to do the worship for the youth service.  God used them to minister to the kids and 3 more were saved that night.  Also, it gave time for Fon to build relationship with their praise team there as well.  We have bonded together with them in such a great way.  We are all like family already.  It is so awesome to see the prophesies being fulfilled right before our eyes.  And the prophesies  keep coming saying that the team will be going all over the world.  Hey, who knows, maybe someday they will be able to make it to America!!!

God is still moving in Prakhonchai church every week.  We had a couple come to church yesterday because they heard us on the radio station.  They live about 30 miles from us but were so excited to find us.  God is good!!!!!
Another good report from Annie's blood test and 3 month check up. The HbA1c was 6.5 down from 6.9 last time. All is well with the blood sugar and the pressure. An eye doctor checked her eyes today and nothing wrong with the eyes internally. Guess now we just believe and continue to believe for the functioning between the eyes and the brain will return to normal. Amen? 

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support!

 We love you all!
