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

NOVEMBER UPDATE 2020

 

 

                  Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

 

Celebrating the Good News!

I closed last month’s update asking for prayers for Annie to have good results from her 6 month check up.  I want to thank everyone for your prayers and give Glory to God because we had a super great report.  Cancer free and bone scan normal for Annie’s age. God has answered our prayers.  We will have another check up in 5 months so keep praying.

 

We have ministered twice at Lamp Of Khon Kaen Church since my last update. The first time Annie preached and then this month I preached.  God is good and we are seeing a lot of  spiritual growth in the members there.

We ministered in Church on the Rock Buriram and Annie taught and I preached the main service.  We ministered in the morning and had great fellowship in the evening.  

 

Saints on the Rock is doing great and is presently ending this term till next year.  They are wanting to do some outreach ministry to children during Christmas so is anyone would like to give an offering to help the, just let me know.

Pastor Bob from Church on the Rock is getting married.  They just performed the engagement ceremony last week and will be getting married before their families on the 28th of December and then we will perform a small Christian ceremony dedicating their marriage to God on January 15th. We are happy for them and they are a cute couple, please pray God will use them mightily for the the Kingdom of God in Thailand.

We ministered at Chumphae Church where Annie taught the Sunday School and I preached the main service.  God is good and moved among the people.

Thanks for all your prayers and support we appreciate all of you!  As far as COVID, Thailand still has it under control so we thank God most things are back to normal here.  We are constantly praying for all of you to be safe and God protect you there in America.  This will all pass soon.  

Pray for us during the Christmas season as we too will be preaching services and handing out tracks and bibles.  Pray for our health, strength, energy and provision.  

We love y’all!

Ralph and Annie
