Starting in the first quarter of 2017, we will hit the ground running. Schools of Ministry, Holmes Bible College, ministering in our works, churches, conferences, and much more. We already have a full plate and 2017 is just beginning. So here we go with some updates and hope you and your family had a good Christmas and a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!<\/p>\n<p><strong>SCHOOLS OF MINISTRY<\/strong><br \/>\nAt present, we have five going on at the same time with two more coming on board soon. We will be graduating somewhere around 75 students soon, with another 19 a little later in the year, and about 75-100 in training. Over the next few years we are expecting harvesters for the harvest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOLMES BIBLE COLLEGE<\/strong><br \/>\nOur goal is to start in the first quarter. We have the degreed people, the building, the students and the opportunity to help educate and give direction to ministers to help change cities, states and nations, if we are willing to step up to the plate with solutions &#8211; and by God&#8217;s grace, we are willing &#8211; we can reach the unreached. Holmes can be one of those solutions. Along with Holmes, Southwestern University will be a part of this in the future. Southwestern has agreed to give a helping hand where it can; all we need to do is put our hand to the plow and go to work. Praise the Lord!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHURCH PLANTING<\/strong><br \/>\nThe ultimate goal is winning the lost. It is proven that the most effective way of winning the lost and discipling them is by planting new churches. In February, one of our churches in Mexico will present three trained, chosen, proven minsters to start new works. Imagine if this time next year we have 100 churches sending out one each &#8211; 100 potential new churches with new members. The Schools of Ministry and Holmes both play a part in training leaders. When you help us, it helps us to help them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEREA BUILDING PROGRAM<\/strong><br \/>\nBeginning in January 2017, we will start with the Berea Building Program. Berea is the work that will be channeling Holmes (their facilities). We already have a team coming and we could use all the help we can muster. We received some help from the Antioch Grant, so with funds we had on hand and some extra help from World Missions Ministries and Executive Director Talmadge Gardner, we were blessed with the funds to begin. If your group desires to plant some seed into good ground, please contact me. We can use donations and groups for construction. We also have a church in the Baja area (nice weather all year) that is in need of a roof. These folks are truly challenged in the area of finances, but great people. We invite you to come and experience the Mexico you do not know. It will bless and change your life for the better, and your help will be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAN FELIPE &#8220;THE SEA OF CORT\u00c9S&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the areas we have a School of Ministry is San Felipe. You can walk up to the Sea of Cortes from the city. Since we started the School of Ministry, the work has out grown its present facilities. As you can see in the photo, we are holding service outside, not because of the heat, but because there wasn&#8217;t enough room to accommodate the attendees. Because of the angle of the photo, we could not even get a full picture of the entire crowd. What a great problem to have. Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE IMPORTANCE OF IT ALL<\/strong><br \/>\nWe have been called to the kingdom for such a time as this. Our generation is not a mistake on God&#8217;s part. God who created all that we see, who has no need of anyone&#8217;s help or advice, has chosen to put us into the picture and use His fallen but redeemed creation to proclaim His goodness and mercy. WE COUNT WITH HIM!<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMBER DID IT<\/strong><br \/>\nYep, Amber got married. No, well, yes, her dad (me) did cry BUT, so did her mom, brother and sisters and so did Amber and our now, by God&#8217;s law, son.<\/p>\n<p>We are thankful for the years she served\u00a0 with us on the field. Not just because she is my daughter, but because it is true that she was a blessing to us and to the works on the field. From the U.S.A. to Mexico, to Europe, to Africa, she has shared the gospel.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, I think often of passing away. No, not afraid of dying, however, not ready just yet. But the thought that persists within me is death, then the judgement. Many to this day have not responded to the gospel. One reason is they have not heard. Fancy words may arouse the intellect and good speeches my stir the imagination, but the preaching of the gospel will convict and change the core of everyone who truly believes and will obey. As death comes to everyone, everyone needs to hear the good news. As a cup of water to a man dying of thirst, so is it with a man eternally dying, a life giving word with the power to change him from within.<\/p>\n<p>Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Philippians 2:16<\/p>\n<p><strong>PHYL&#8217;S WORLD<\/strong><br \/>\nGod has been opening many doors for us, from Schools of Ministry to ministering in our churches and conferences. Recently, I was up in the mountains for a women&#8217;s retreat. I learned how to really &#8220;ROUGH IT&#8221;, but it was well worth the experience. We are pleased to announce that Amber got married in August. We are thankful for our new son-in-law. As always, we are thankful for your prayers and support. It helps us to keep the &#8220;Go ye&#8221; going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ron &amp; Phyllis Roy OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW Every new beginning brings its own opportunities and challenges.

A partir del primer trimestre de 2017, vamos a comenzar a ejecutar. Escuelas de Ministerio, Holmes Bible College, que ministran en nuestras obras, iglesias, conferencias, y mucho m\u00e1s. Ya tenemos un plato lleno y 2017 acaba de empezar. As\u00ed que aqu\u00ed vamos con algunas actualizaciones y esperamos que usted y su familia hayan tenido una buena Navidad y un feliz y pr\u00f3spero a\u00f1o nuevo! ESCUELAS DE MINISTERIO En la actualidad, tenemos cinco sucediendo al mismo tiempo con dos m\u00e1s que sube a bordo pronto. Estaremos graduando en alguna parte alrededor de 75 estudiantes de pronto, con otro 19 un poco m\u00e1s adelante en el a\u00f1o, y aproximadamente 75-100 en la formaci\u00f3n. En los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os esperamos cosechadoras para la cosecha. HOLMES BIBLIA LA UNIVERSIDAD Nuestro objetivo es comenzar en el primer trimestre. Tenemos la gente con t\u00edtulo, el edificio, los estudiantes y la oportunidad de ayudar a educar y orientar a los ministros para ayudar a las ciudades de cambio, los estados y las naciones, si estamos dispuestos a intensificar a la placa con soluciones - y por la gracia de Dios, dispuestos - podemos llegar a los no alcanzados. Holmes puede ser una de esas soluciones. Junto con Holmes, Universidad del sudoeste ser\u00e1 una parte de este en el futuro. Del sudoeste ha acordado dar una mano siempre que ha podido; todo lo que necesitamos hacer es poner nuestra mano en el arado e ir a trabajar. \u00a1\u00a1\u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or!!! Fundaci\u00f3n de Iglesias El objetivo final es ganar a los perdidos. Se ha demostrado que la forma m\u00e1s efectiva de ganar a los perdidos y discipul\u00e1ndolos es mediante la plantaci\u00f3n de nuevas iglesias. En febrero, una de nuestras iglesias en M\u00e9xico presentar\u00e1 tres entrenados, escogidos, minsters demostrado para iniciar nuevas obras. Imag\u00ednese si el a\u00f1o que viene tenemos 100 iglesias env\u00edo de uno por cada uno - 100 posibles nuevas iglesias con nuevos miembros. Las Escuelas del Ministerio y Holmes tanto jugar un papel en la formaci\u00f3n de l\u00edderes. Cuando nos ayudas, ayuda a que los ayudemos. Programa de construcci\u00f3n BEREA A partir de enero de 2017, vamos a comenzar con el Programa de Creaci\u00f3n de Berea. Berea es el trabajo que se canaliza Holmes (sus instalaciones). Ya tenemos un equipo que viene y que podr\u00edamos utilizar toda la ayuda que podamos reunir. Hemos recibido alguna ayuda del Antioqu\u00eda Grant, por lo que con los fondos que ten\u00eda en la mano y un poco de ayuda adicional del Ministerio de Misiones Mundiales y Director Ejecutivo Talmadge Gardner, tuvimos suerte con los fondos para comenzar. Si su grupo desea sembrar alguna semilla en buena tierra, p\u00f3ngase en contacto conmigo. Podemos usar las donaciones y los grupos para la construcci\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n tenemos una iglesia en el \u00e1rea de Baja (clima agradable todo el a\u00f1o) que est\u00e1 en necesidad de un techo. Estas personas son realmente desafiados en el \u00e1rea de las finanzas, pero gran pueblo. Te invitamos a venir y experimentar el M\u00e9xico que no sabes. Se bendecir\u00e1 y cambiar su vida para mejor, y su ayuda ser\u00e1 apreciado considerablemente. SAN FELIPE \"Mar de Cort\u00e9s\" Una de las \u00e1reas que tenemos una Escuela de Ministerio es San Felipe. Se puede caminar hasta el Mar de Cort\u00e9s de la ciudad. Desde que comenzamos la Escuela de Ministerio, el trabajo ha crecido fuera de sus instalaciones actuales. Como se puede ver en la foto, estamos llevando a cabo el servicio exterior, no a causa del calor, sino porque no hab\u00eda suficiente espacio para acomodar a los asistentes. Debido al \u00e1ngulo de la foto, ni siquiera se pod\u00eda obtener una imagen completa de toda la multitud. Lo que un gran problema a tener. \u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or! La importancia de ello todo lo que hemos sido llamados al reino para un tiempo como este. Nuestra generaci\u00f3n no es un error por parte de Dios. Dios que cre\u00f3 todo lo que vemos, que no tiene necesidad de ayuda o consejo de nadie, ha optado por ponernos en la imagen y utilizar su creaci\u00f3n ca\u00eddo pero redimido para anunciar su bondad y misericordia. CONTAMOS CON EL! AMBAR DID IT S\u00ed, Amber se cas\u00f3. No, bueno, s\u00ed, su padre (me) hizo llorar, pero, tambi\u00e9n lo hizo su madre, hermano y hermanas y tambi\u00e9n lo hizo \u00e1mbar y nuestro ahora, por la ley de Dios, hijo. Estamos agradecidos por los a\u00f1os que sirvi\u00f3 con nosotros en el campo. No s\u00f3lo porque ella es mi hija, sino porque es cierto que ella era una bendici\u00f3n para nosotros y para los trabajos en el campo. De los EE.UU. a M\u00e9xico, a Europa, a \u00c1frica, que ha compartido el Evangelio. En el cierre, a menudo de fallecer pienso. No, no tiene miedo de morir, sin embargo, no est\u00e1 listo todav\u00eda. Pero la idea de que persiste dentro de m\u00ed es la muerte, entonces el juicio. Muchos hasta hoy no han respondido al evangelio. Una de las razones es que no han o\u00eddo. palabras de lujo pueden despertar el intelecto y mis buenos discursos estimular la imaginaci\u00f3n, pero la predicaci\u00f3n del Evangelio, la sentencia y cambiar el n\u00facleo de todas las personas que realmente cree y obedece. A medida que la muerte llega a todo el mundo, todo el mundo necesita escuchar las buenas nuevas. Como un vaso de agua a un hombre muriendo de sed, por lo que es con un hombre eternamente muriendo, una vida que da la palabra con el poder para cambiar desde dentro. Asidos de la palabra de vida; Para que me goce en el d\u00eda de Cristo, que no he corrido en vano, ni trabajado en vano. Filipenses 2:16 PHYL DEL MUNDO Dios ha estado abriendo muchas puertas para nosotros, de Escuelas de Ministerio para el ministerio en nuestras iglesias y conferencias. Recientemente, yo estaba arriba en las monta\u00f1as para un retiro para las mujeres. Aprend\u00ed a realmente \"a la intemperie\", pero vali\u00f3 la pena la experiencia. Nos complace anunciar que el \u00e1mbar se cas\u00f3 en agosto. Estamos agradecidos por nuestro nuevo hijo-en-ley. Como siempre, estamos agradecidos por sus oraciones y apoyo. Nos ayuda a mantener el \"Id\" en marcha.","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/Roy-featured.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-lI","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
