May Update 2019

Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

Wow, this is the first update since we have arrived in America. We are doing fine now and out serving the Lord right now. We had a few health issues when we first arrived but they have all been healed now! Thank you Jesus our healer!

We were able to share in a few churches in April, thank God! Who far we have visited ISLR Garland, SUV Bible School and Freedom Fellowship in Waxahachie, and Grace Fellowship in Rusk Texas. We thank God for every place we have ministered so far, each place has been a super blessing to us and we thank every one of you!

On the 17th of this month we drove to Beaumont Texas, which is where we are now. We have already shared at COTR Sour Lake and they too were such blessing to us. We will be here to the end of the month ministering in the churches here. Please pray for Annie as well, she will be sharing the Word at New Life COTR Tuesday night the 28th of May. Here is our schedule while we are here:

Please pray that God will bless us to be a blessing in every church we visit. We will still be in America until September 2 and will be taking a short time off but if anyone wants us to come and share in your church just let me know and we will schedule it. Our stateside phone number is 817-776-7805 .

We have enjoyed our time here in America and have been blessed by seeing many of our family and friends and we are looking forward to seeing many more before we go back to Thailand. 

I have been communicating and teaching by video chat with our COTR church there. Please keep them in Prayer as we will be applying for our COTR In Thailand foundation on the 28th of this month. Please pray for favor and that it will be approved quickly. Also pray for Pastor Bob because he is presently in Nepal visiting and ministering at our Hug Center ministry there. Pray for his health, safety, protection and provision!

Okay, I will try to send out another update in a couple of months to keep everyone updated! Keep us in prayer as we travel and minister during this time.

We pray God bless you all and we love you all!

Ralph and Annie

                   Greetings everyone in the name of Jesus!

Well it’s getting close to the time for us to leave for America.  We have visited all the churches we minister in already and said see you later to everyone.  This is a hard time emotionally for us because we are sad to leave all of our friends and family here in Thailand but happy and excited to see our friends and family in America. 

 

 

We started the month in Chumphae Church.  Annie taught the Sunday school service and I preached the main service.  We had a good time with everyone.

 

 

The second weekend we ministered at Church on the Rock Buriram.  Had a great time in the Lord and the church is continuing to grow.  I am sorry to say that Pastor Bob did not pass his interview for a visa to America.  They are so picky with Thai people and it is almost impossible to get one unless you know someone.  Pastor Bob is not giving up though and he will go back on April 1 to try again.  Pray that God will give him favor with the immigration officer and he will pass this time.  We would truly like to see him be able to join us in May and June to meet many of you.  It’s all in God’s hands!

 

 

The third and last weekend before we go to America we ministered in Lamp Of Khon Kaen Church.  I taught the kids and Annie preached a great message.  After church we had lunch and fellowship with the pastors and some members.

To everyone in America, see you soon!  We are finished with our preaching and teaching until we come back from America.  Now it is preparation time for our trip to America.  Getting all bills paid up to date, and preparing car for storage, clearing all business actions and packing our suitcases.   Just a few more days and we will be heading that way.

Please keep us in your prayers as we travel.  We leave Khon Kaen at 18:45pm ( 0645am Dallas time) on March 27th our time.  Arriving at DFW 09:00 am Dallas time on the 28th of March.  Please pray for safe flights, good weather, favor with immigration and customs and that we can rest on the flights.

Thanks in advance for all of your prayers.  God bless you  and we love y’all!

Ralph & Annie

Update February 2019

                         Greetings in the name of the Lord! 
Time is flying by and as I write this update we only have 32 days left before we get on the plane to cross the ocean to visit all of you.  This is a well needed trip for us because it’s been 4 years since we seen you last and it has been that long since we have had a good rest.  We need to get our rest when we get into he golden years but thank God we still have plenty of spark left to serve God for a few more years.  We are excited about what God is doing in these latter days and looking forward to seeing much more fruit in our ministry here. 

We thank God for the new Church on the Rock Buriram church and since we have received them into our affiliation their attendance has increased by 7-10 people already.  Praise God! Please keep praying for them and also pray for Pastor Bob, He is going to interview for a USA visa on March 8, at 8:10 am our time.

If Pastor Bob gets a visa he will be visiting us in America from May 15 to June 17th.  Our itinerary is already full up to June 3rd.  But we do have available June 5, 9,12 and 16 if anyone would like to meet him.  Please let me know if you are interested and if he gets his visa we can set a date.  

This month we ministered at Church on the Rock Buriram.  Had a great service and fellowship this weekend.  Annie taught and I preached about purpose.  

We  ministered at Chumphae Church and God used us as a blessing. We were able to visit the hospital and pray for one of their members with a kidney disease.  Please pray for God to heal him, his name is Gai.

Then we ministered in Lamp of Khon Kaen Church.  I taught the young people and Annie preached.  God moved in a special way and many were touched.

We have one more round of visits to the churches we minister to in the month of March and then we will be preparing for the trip to America.  Pray for us as we go to each church, it is a sad time to leave but a happy and excited time to see everyone there.  

Please keep our trip in your prayers.  We still have a lot of available dates to share about what God’s doing here and we would like to fill all of the dates through June and even into July if possible. Pray for us a safe and smooth flight.  Pray that God will provide for all of our expenses on this trip as well.

Thanks so much to all of you who support and pray for us.  We appreciate you all and pray for you every day that God will bless you over and above all of your needs.

God bless and we love you!

Ralph & Annie
