Update March 2021

 

                 Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

Well, Thailand has pretty much got COVID back under control except for some areas around Bangkok but we are now free to move around again. So On the 28th of February Annie and I were able to travel to Buriram and minister at Cotr Buriram.  Praise God!  

One of our new Spiritual Great Grandbabies!

Annie was able to teach before the service and she did a great job and the people were blessed.  

Then for the main service I shared a short message on marriage and then performed a ceremony of dedicating the marriage of Pastor Bob and Tip to the Lord. I led them through their vows and prayed over their marriage.  All is complete now.  They were actually married last December but because of COVID we had to wait for the ring and vow ceremony. Praise God!

We will be starting back at Lamp of Khon Kaen Church on the 4th of April for the Easter service.  Also, I am still doing discipleship on line as well. Then we have the Thai New year to get through and hopefully by the end of April and May all will be back to normal!  Amen?

Also on the 17th of this month, Annie will have her yearly check up with the radiation doctor and will probably have another mammogram and bone scan done.  So please keep her in your prayers this week till the end of the month for a good report and totally free!  Amen?

Okay please keep us in prayer as we all go through these difficult times, we will make it!  Amen?  We pray for all of you every day as well, that God will bless you and protect you all.  Please pray all will get back to normal here and for our health, provision and protection as well. I have had some health issues as well, but getting better every day.  So thank you for prayers for me too!

God bless you all and we love you!

Ralph and Annie

Update February 2021

 

Happy Valentines!

Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

We pray that all of you are staying safe, healthy and God is blessing you all!  Annie and I are doing good and things here in Thailand are about to get back to normal.  They have a good control on the last outbreak and it looks like we will start ministering again on the 28th of this month.  We have scheduled to minister in Church on the Rock Buriram and also do a small wedding ceremony for Pastor Bob And his new wife.  We are looking forward to getting back to some kind of normal.  It truly gets boring just staying home all the time but I have been under the weather too, so praying to be 100% healed in the name of Jesus! (pray for me)

Hopefully next month we will add Lamp of Khon Kaen church back into our schedule. The pastor in Chumphae church has taken a sabbatical until April so we have an open weekend now. Pray that God will direct us and lead us to a Church that needs our gifting.

Church on the Rock Buriram is ready to start their building project, which is much needed for them now.  Last year they purchased 1 metric acre of land and now ready to build a new church building and a nursery. The nursery is the vision of Saints on the Rock Foundation and will be built on the same acre of land.  The total project will cost about $33,000.00 USD.  I will attach a picture of the plans for the buildings to this email. If anyone is interested or feels God leading you to help with this project please let me know and I will give you instructions on how to give.  Please pray that this project will be completed this year so the church and foundation can continue with their visions.  Amen?

Okay, that is all that is going on for now, so keep us in your prayers for provision, health and protection!  Annie will have her first year check up with the radiation doctor, so keep her in prayer all next month for good and perfect results. Also prayer for direction for the rest of this year!  God bless you all and we pray for you daily that God will bless you, protect you and fulfill all your needs!

We love y’all!

Ralph and Annie

Update January 2021

 

Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

There is not much to report at this time but we do ask that you keep us in prayer because Thailand has had a new outbreak of COVID. Presently the country is in a semi-lockdown state.  Restaurants and places of business are still open in our area.  The churches we minister in are back to online services right now, so I am doing some teaching with video chat. Annie and I are mostly staying safe at home waiting for this one to pass.  Pray for us that this will soon pass!  Amen?

 

Annie and I just celebrated our 49 year wedding anniversary.  Wow, that’s a long time.  😆 It has been quite a journey and we have been through just about everything you can imagine but praise God, we made it through it all. We had planned on celebrating at the beach this year with our spiritual children but due to the outbreak of COVID we had to cancel our vacation again. The good thing is that the restaurants here where we live are still open, so Annie and I got to go out and eat a good meal.  It was not quite the same as the beach but praise God we could at least have a small celebration. Amen?  Looking forward for another year and celebrating our 50th anniversary next year and hopefully we can do it up right!

Please pray for our churches to stay strong during this outbreak both spiritually and financially. The economy continues to get worse so the businesses are seeing the effects as well.  So all the members of the churches are struggling to get by as well.  Pray God will provide supernaturally for all their needs during this difficult time.

Pray for Saints on the Rock Foundation as well because the offerings have not been enough to support the staff for now. Some of them will have to find temporary jobs until we get through all of this.  Amen?

Keep Annie and I in prayer for good health, protection and provision as well. We are doing good so far and mostly staying at home except for going to the grocery store when we have to. We are praying for all of you there in America to be safe and God will provide for all of you needs as well.

We love y’all!

Ralph and Annie

December Update 2020

 

                             MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We pray that you all have a blessed Christmas and New Year! We pray God will protect you and prosper you throughout year 2021!  Also that God will protect you and keep you safe.

We have been busy visiting the churches this month.  We started at Church on the Rock where Annie taught and I preached the main service.  God is good and the church is doing great!

Saints on the Rock has been busy this month doing Christmas outreaches.  God has blessed them and at one school 250 of the students prayed for Jesus to come into their life.

We also ministered at Lamp of Khon Kaen Church where Annie preached. God moved among us and many were touched by God.

Last Sunday we celebrated Christmas with Chumphae Church.  We truly enjoyed spending Christmas with our family there.  This will be our last time for a while as the pastor is taking a 3 month sabbatical starting in January. Please pray for him and his wife as they get a much needed rest and restoration. Amen?

Please pray for Annie and I as we will be taking some vacation time in January as well.  Well, sort of. Haha. All of our pastors and their families that we minister with will be going with us for a retreat and we will be doing a small wedding ceremony for Pastor Bob and Tip.  Pray for us to have a good time bonding and fun.

Thailand has  done really good in controlling the COVID situation so far.  In the last couple of days there has been a large amount of people infected in a couple of areas around Bangkok.
So please pray they get it under control quickly and keep it contained.

Okay, God bless all of you again and we love y’all!

Ralph and Annie
