August Update 2019

                     Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

Well, time is running out for us here in America, only 2 weeks left and we will be leaving on a jet plane heading for our Thailand home.  We have have enjoyed seeing everyone at all the churches and have had a great time seeing many friends.   

We will be returning our loaner car to Beaumont this coming weekend and thanks to Bruce Hamilton once again.  The car has been a great blessing.  Please keep us in prayer for safety as we drive there on Saturday and fly back on Monday.  

The highlight of the last two months was when we were able to rest up at Pastor Sam and Beverly’s lake house for a few day!  What a blessing and restful time.  Thanks again Pastor Sam and Beverly, y’all are awesome. 

We have enjoyed the last two months and visited many churches on our free Sundays.  It has been a blessing worshipping with new and old family.  We got to enjoy only one night at the COTRNOM conference and I had to go to the emergency room at the VA Hospital in Dallas.  After many hours of waiting and testing all turned our well and got back home in the wee hours of the morning.  Thank God for His healing power and they could not find anything.  

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for my application for disability for my knee.  Everything looked like it was going so well but they scheduled my evaluation exam on Sept,beer 6, 4 days after we leave.  So not sure how it will turn out now, but continue to pray they will make a decision for me without the exam.  God would get all the glory. 

We are looking froward to getting back and seeing all of our Thai family and ministering in the churches there again.  Please still pray for our Church on the Rock Foundation to be approved as well.  Pray for the team coming in November that God will use them to be a blessing.

Pray for our safety, good weather, smooth flights, no delays, good rest and favor as we fly back to Thailand.  We will leave Dallas at 9;00 on September 2 and arrive at our home in Khon Kaen at 13:30 on September 4th Thailand time.

Update July 2019

Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

Annie and I are truly enjoying our time here in America visiting all of our friends and family.  We have just finished our scheduled itinerary. 

In May we were in the Beaumont/Nederland area and loved seeing everyone and sharing there in all the churches.   In June we have traveled to Markham, Groesbeck, Tyler and Grand Prairie and got to see all of our family there as well.  We have truly been blessed by every church and are so humbled and grateful for all of your love!

We were so blessed while we were in Beaumont, Annie was able to share with the ladies at New Life COTR in Vidor.  It was here first time to share the word in English in a long time.  She did great and was so blessed by everyone!

Please keep praying for Church On The Rock Foundation in Thailand to be approved.  I am hoping and believing it will be approved this month. Pastor Bob is doing great and the Church is doing great as well.  Keep them in prayer!

Please continue to pray for Annie and I’s health.  I had another health issue and had to have a colonoscopy done last month.  All went well and things seem to be getting back to normal, thank God. Also pray for me as I apply for disability for my knee from the VA.  Any compensation would be a blessing for Annie and I.  Please pray for God’s favor as I will send in my application shortly. 

Now we still have July and August before we go back to Thailand.  All we have scheduled right now is the Church On The Rock Network of Ministers gathering on August 5-7. If there is a church or ministry who wants us to come and share during these months, please let me know. We would love to visit with you and share what God is doing in our ministry.  Please send me an email or call at 817-776-7805 if you would like us to come.

Thank you to all who support us and pray for us!  We love you all!

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.

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
