May Update 2022

 

                             Greetings in the Name of Jesus!

We pray God bless and protect you!  The Covid situation in Thailand is getting better after their big holiday, praise God!  Praying for it to be gone for good!  Amen?

We were able to minister at COTR Buriram on the first Sunday of the month.  We had a great time of ministry and fellowship for the first time in a long while. It was great to see our family again. We celebrated Annie's 70th Birthday again as well.

We had planned to leave to visit the Orphanage in the mountains on May 16, but we had to postpone the trip for now.  The week before we were to leave, Pastor Bob’s wife found out she was pregnant but it was an ectopic pregnancy( sac outside of the uterus). She spent 8 days in the hospital for treatment with a new medicine to remove the sac. She was released on the 16th and was doing fine for a while so we planned to leave again on the 23rd which is Monday. Now she is having problems again as of yesterday and we need all of your prayers that she will get back to normal soon. Amen?  We need a miracle and a complete healing for her and also pray four our trip to the orphanage because we need to make the trip before the rainy season because the road washes out. So we are needing two miracles, complete healing for Tip (Pastor Bob’s wife) and we can make our trip. Thanks in advance!

We were able to minister again at COTR Buriram again last Sunday to help Pastor Bob while his wife was in the Hospital.  Annie taught and I preached  the main service. God blessed us all!

Okay thanks for all of your support and prayers and hoping we will have a good report next month of our trip to the orphanage.  God bless you all and thank you for everything!

We love y’all!

Ralph and Annie

April Update 2022

 

                               Greetings in the Name of Jesus!

We pray all of you are staying safe and God is blessing you in every way!  Annie and I are doing fine so far with the Covid situation here getting worse at the present time.  We had to cancel last months trip to COTR Buriram because some of the members had Covid and they are presently having online services again.   This week is the Thai New Year, which is one of the biggest holidays of the year, so I am sure there will be another spike in infections during this time.  We are praying it will clear up before the end of the month so we can minister again. Amen?

We are still planning on visiting the orphanage in the mountains the first week of May. God willing we will be able to make that trip because we want to be able to bless them in person. Thank you to those who have already given!  Many others have said they would like to help as well.  If you are interested and still want to help, can I ask for a favor?  Can you submit your offering and have them get to COTRGT Beaumont before the 26th of April?  That way we can transfer the money and have it ready when we make the trip in May. Thanks so much!

Thank you all so much for your support and prayers.  God is answering many of them. Annie and I had all of our health check ups last month and all is good!  Thank God for good health!  Please continue to pray for our provision, health and protection.  May God continue to protect and bless you all as well.

We love y’all!

Ralph and Annie

March Update 2022

 

                      Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus!

We pray God is blessing you all and meeting all of your needs during these critical days and times.  Here in Thailand, things as far as covid are still spreading quickly and most likely going to get worse next month during the Thai New Year celebrations.  The church here in Khon Kaen where we usually minister, just recently had some people get infected and are presently not having services while they quarantine.  So far COTR Buriram is doing good and we are trying our best to minister there at least once a month.  Please keep us and the churches here in prayer for protection so we can keep having live services.

Thank God during the month of February we were able to minister at COTR Buriram and God blessed us and the members during the service.  Annie taught before the service and I preached the main service.  God blessed us with His presence and everyone was encouraged and challenged to be a disciple of Christ, not just a normal Christian,  Amen?  Please pray that God will make a way and we will be able to go there and minister this month as well.

There is an orphanage up in the mountains close to Burma where Pastor Bob’s wife is from.  The orphanage is run and managed by a Pastor and his wife, who was an orphan as a child. They presently do not have any outside support to help them but are supported by the church only. There are about 40 children from the Karen tribes of Burma and all of these children have lost their parents in the War going on in Burma.  They are children without a country because Thailand does not recognize them as citizens nor does Burma.  The pastor and his wife take them in, teach them in the way of the Lord, send them to school and try to get them Thai citizenship. Many of these children grow up and serve God in their future.  During Covid, they have had to struggle to meet their needs and totally depend upon God to provide month by month. After hearing their story, Annie and I want to bless them with supplies and hopefully a monetary blessing as well. So we have planned a trip to take supplies and visit the orphanage the first week of May.  If anyone would like to help us be a blessing, we would appreciate it and make sure all of the finances go to supplies and a special offering to meet the needs of the orphanage.  If you are interested, please let me know and I will give instructions on how to give or if you already have our information you can give an offering to us with a designation or memo to Thailand Orphanage Project.  Thanks so much for your prayers and consideration for us to be a blessing.

Okay, a big thank you to everyone who prays and supports us every month.  We appreciate each and every one of you!  We pray for you everyday that God will bless you for your time and giving with at least a hundred fold return!  We could never do what we do without you and we do not take that for granted!  So God bless you all and meet all your needs and give you the desires of your heart!

We love y’all !

Ralph and Annie

February Update 2022

 

 

Happy Valentines date with my forever Valentine!

Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus and Happy Valentines Day!

We pray that all is going well for you and God is blessing you over and above this year!  We are doing better so far here in Thailand.  Covid is still an issue here but they are starting to open up more and more.  It is still a hassle to travel in and out of the country but as least it can be done if need be. Travel within the country too has opened up as well but still have to take precautions.  Hopefully the world will open up more and more this year as well.  Amen?

Last month we were able to visit Buriram and our family there at COTR Buriram. We ministered on Sunday and had a great service.  Annie taught the first session and I preached in the main service.  God is still doing great things with this small church. They are making a difference in other nations as well, through the Saints on the Rock Foundation they are reaching out to Nepal and also to a ministry in Pattaya. The first building project has been completed through many miracles of God that during the Covid crisis all this could be done. We praise God and give Him all the glory. We are looking forward and waiting for God’s direction for the next step in His plan. So keep them in prayer.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers for my nose surgery.   We thank God He led us to a good doctor and was like God prepared every step of the way. Everything went well and is healing very fast.  We thank God and your prayers for I only had pain during the time of surgery and the first day.  After that no pain at all, just uncomfortable, now 1 month later can’t hardly see the scar. The scar is in the shape of a heart so I tell everyone God gave me a new heart that reminds me of His love. Haha.

Please continue to pray for our health, protection and provision!  We appreciate and thank everyone who continues faithfully supporting us and praying for us.  We love you all and pray for you every day that God will bless you and protect you as well.

We love y’all!

Ralph and Annie
