| 51 Years Together! |
Since the middle of January until today we have been really busy! We would like to thank God for all the opportunities. We celebrated our 51st anniversary on the 15th and then ministered several weekends after that, Praise God! It is good to be out and about again, makes us feel young again. Haha
On our anniversary we ministered and celebrated at Church on the Rock Buriram. We had a great time celebrating and wonderful fellowship with our family there.
Then on January 22, we ministered at New Life Church Ban Gruat district, Buriram. One of our spiritual children whom we have not seen for a long time is now the pastor there. We enjoyed ministering and good fellowship with many old friends and family which we haven’t seen in a long time.
On January 29th, we ministered at the Lamp of Khon Kaen Church. We had a great time in the Lord and had great fellowship with our family there. We had lunch together after church and we were encouraged by a woman sitting across from us at the table. We were talking back and forth for a while about where we had been in our 26 year here in Thailand and this lady said are you Pastor Ralph and Annie. I said, yes, that is us. Come to find out, when she was a small girl about 25 years ago we ministered at her church and to the young people there. It was a blessing to us, that she still remembered us and we were able to be a part of her life during that time. Wow, God is good. She is all grown up, and she and her husband are Christian business people today. Then we talked about many of the young people we used to minister to are now pastors and leaders in churches all over Thailand. Praise God!
On February 11, we traveled to Buriram to minister on the 12th at COTR Buriram. We visited and prayed for one of the members who is presently going through chemo treatments. She is doing pretty good and is seeing some good results. We would like to ask everyone to continue to pray for her. We are believing for a miracle and a great testimony for what God has done! Amen? Her name is Thung.
In the morning on February 12 we ministered at COTR Buriram. Annie taught before the service and I preached the message for the main service. God is good and moved among us.
In the afternoon, we traveled to New Life Church, Ban Graut District, for the ordination service of our spiritual daughter. She too is a spiritual daughter from around 20 years ago and now she was ordained as the pastor of the church. We are so happy for her and we encouraged her in serving God then we celebrated together with our family there.

| My Valentine! |
On Valentine's Day, I celebrated with a steak lunch with my Valentine. She is just as beautiful as she was on that first Valentines Day 51 years ago. I love her so much!
A big thank you to everyone for your prayers and support, we couldn’t do what we do without you. We pray God blesses all of you over and above all your needs and desires!
We love y’all!
Ralph and Annie
