January Update 2024

 

                                Happy New Year to everyone!  

We pray that good is already blessing you this year. Annie and I are looking forward to the things God is going to do this year!  We are going to try and visit at least  2 countries during the first 6 months. We are presently praying on what countries to visit, possibly Vietnam, Philippines or Korea. So praise God it’s going to be a busy year. Please keep us in prayer!

We finished up last year with a bang.  We had our first celebration for Christmas with our family at COTR Buriram on the 18th. We had a great time in the Word, fun, fellowship and good food throughout the day! Praise God!

Our 2nd celebration of Christmas was at Lamp of Khon Kaen church on the 24th of December.  Once again we shared a Christmas message, then afterwards had a time of sharing presents, eating a great lunch and enjoyed a time of fellowship. Good times in the Lord!

Then on the 26th of December we were all blessed by sharing the true meaning of Christmas at a Christian Nursery for children about 2 hours from Khon Kaen.  We had so much fun with all of the presentations that the children put on and fellowship with our spiritual children who run the nursery.

We continue to pray that everyone will have a great 2024 and be blessed in all you do.  Please pray for us as we pray for you this year. Pray that God leads us in all we do and we have a prosperous year in ministry.  A great big thank you to everyone who prayed and supported us in 2023 and thank you in advance to all of you for this year as well.

God bless you abundantly in all you do!

We love y’all!

Ralph and Annie

December Update 2023

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Greeting everyone in the name of Jesus!  WOW another year has slipped by already. Time flies when you are having fun! This year we will celebrate Christmas with our COTR family and our Khon Kaen family. We are excited to be able to celebrate both places this year. Christmas is always a great time of fellowship and fun. We would like to thank all of you who supported us and prayed for us last year and want you all to know we appreciate everyone of you and pray for you all the time. We pray that you will all have a great Christmas and a wonderful year 2024. May God bless you all with prosperity and blessings over and above. We love you all!

Last month we ministered first at COTR Buriram. We had a great time in the Lord and God blessed us all. Annie taught pre service and I preached the main service. God is great!

We also ministered at Lamp of Khon Kaen church the last weekend of the month. We had a great time ministering there as well.  Annie taught and I preached then we broke bread together with a meal after the service. Praise God!

COTR Buriram Vision

The church has reevaluated and resized the vision of the church they are believing to build by next year. They already have the land to build on and their goal to have it built and up an running by next year. The new estimate for the total price of the building has been estimated to be around $25,000 USD.  So this is a very reachable goal for next year and every one is excited and already started donating towards the goal.  If anyone would like to help with a donation or the whole amount would be nice (haha) please let me know.

 

 Special prayer request for everyone. It’s been 5 years this year since we have last visited America and next year we would like to make a visit for about 6 months as a furlough time, but for this to happen we would have to find a place to rent for 6 months.  It could be located either by Granbury where our daughter lives or could be in the Beaumont/Nederland area, either would be fine for us.  So if anyone knows of a place we could rent for a reasonable price, please let us know.

Okay, well this is our last update for this year so once again Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. May God bless you and your family’s during this special time.

We love you all!

Ralph and Annie
