The year 2016 was a very good year. The number of churches of IPHC Thailand \u201cAlliance Church Association\u201d increased to 54, from 44 in 2015. Glory to God! Indeed, our labor in the Lord is not in vain. Thank you for your continued prayers, generous giving, and unwavering support. We believe that, in 2017, the best is yet to come! The opportunity of expanding the kingdom of God in this predominantly Buddhist nation is so great. Please pray for more laborers and new missionaries in the harvest field here in Thailand. Please pray for short-term missionaries, Brother Ron and Sister Linda Fields, to be able to return to Thailand in July. They are great servants of God.<\/p>\n<p>Praise the Lord! The mandate to make disciples is gearing up! The Thailand Theological Seminary is moving forward. There are seven students enrolled in the Masters Degree in Ministry Program. The Associate Degree in Ministry is ongoing with 17 students. Please pray for the provisions needed for the construction of the building for the seminary. The Lord has already provided the land for us. May the Lord touch your heart to invest in this building project (Project #74520) that will cost about $400,000. Any amount that the Lord is leading you to contribute will be highly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>The Discipleship Training Seminar, held on January 25-27, 2017 at the Indo-China Training Center in Mae Sai (North of Thailand), was great. There were about 24 attendees from Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. Rev. Jeff Willhoite is overseeing the center. The construction project for the dormitory (phase 2) is progressing. The multi-purpose building and the workers&#8217; quarters building were completed a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>We were overwhelmed with joy to see the goodness of God manifested in our midst in celebrating Christmas with the Akha Tribe on December 30, 2016 in Khon Suey, Chiang Rai. There were over one hundred people who came, including those from the nearby villages. They all enjoyed the worship gathering, lunch fellowship and gifts. It has been our tradition since 2002 when we started this ministry, to go up the mountain just to be with them whenever we are in Thailand. We are amazed to see the children growing up physically and spiritually. As they grow, we could not recognize most of them, but they are there with us.\u00a0 Although some of the youth were no longer in the village and have relocated to other parts of Thailand seeking higher education and greener pasture, this ministry will go on. We believe that the seeds of the Word we planted in their hearts will remain and never die. Most of them benefited from the People to People child sponsorship program. Thank you for supporting PTP Ministries.<\/p>\n<p>The 15th Anniversary of Pantamit Don Muang Church on January 22nd was a huge success. There were over one hundred people who came and joyfully celebrated with us. The theme for this year was \u201cGod is good!\u201d The Lord continually blesses the church to bear much fruit both in quality and quantity. Moreover, six new believers were added to the church and recently got baptized. Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you and God bless you all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Albert &amp; Jiep Gonzales Support their ministry here!

El a\u00f1o 2016 fue un a\u00f1o muy bueno. El n\u00famero de iglesias de IISP Tailandia \u201cIglesia Alianza Asociaci\u00f3n\u201d aument\u00f3 a 54 desde 44 el pasado a\u00f1o 2015. Gloria a Dios! De hecho, nuestro trabajo en el Se\u00f1or no es en vano. Gracias por sus oraciones continuas, generosa donaci\u00f3n y apoyo inquebrantable usted. Creemos que en el a\u00f1o 2017, lo mejor est\u00e1 por venir! La oportunidad de expandir el reino de Dios en esta naci\u00f3n predominantemente budista es tan grande. Por favor, oren por m\u00e1s obreros y los nuevos misioneros en el campo de la cosecha aqu\u00ed en Tailandia. Por favor oren por los misioneros a corto plazo hermano Ron y la hermana Linda Fields para poder volver a Tailandia en julio. Son grandes servidores de Dios. \u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or! El mandato de hacer disc\u00edpulos se est\u00e1 preparando! El Seminario Teol\u00f3gico de Tailandia se est\u00e1 moviendo hacia adelante. Hay siete estudiantes matriculados recientemente en Grado de los Maestros en el Programa de Ministerio. El Grado Asociado en Ministerio est\u00e1 en curso con 17 alumnos. Por favor oren por las disposiciones necesarias para la construcci\u00f3n del edificio para el seminario. El Se\u00f1or ya nos ha dado la tierra. Que el Se\u00f1or toque su coraz\u00f3n para invertir en este proyecto de construcci\u00f3n (Proyecto No. 74520) que costar\u00e1 alrededor de $ 400,000.00. Cualquier cantidad que el Se\u00f1or est\u00e1 llevando a contribuir ser\u00e1 muy apreciada. El Seminario de Discipulado y Entrenamiento d\u00edas 25-27 de enero de, 2017, Centro de Formaci\u00f3n de Indochina en Mae Sai (norte de Tailandia) era estupenda. Hab\u00eda alrededor de 24 asistentes procedentes de Tailandia, Laos y Myanmar. Rev. Jeff Willhoite est\u00e1 supervisando el centro. El proyecto de construcci\u00f3n para el dormitorio (Fase 2) est\u00e1 progresando. El edificio de usos m\u00faltiples y el edificio de los trabajadores cuartos ya se terminaron hace unos a\u00f1os. Nos quedamos abrumados con la alegr\u00eda de ver la bondad de Dios manifestado en medio de nosotros en la celebraci\u00f3n de la Navidad con los Akha Tribe el 30 de diciembre, 2016 Khon Suey, de Chiang Rai. Hubo m\u00e1s de un centenar de personas que vinieron, incluidos los de los pueblos cercanos. Todos ellos disfrutaron de la reuni\u00f3n de adoraci\u00f3n, comuni\u00f3n almuerzo y regalos. Era nuestra tradici\u00f3n desde 2002 cuando empezamos este ministerio, subiendo en la monta\u00f1a s\u00f3lo para estar con ellos cada vez que estamos en Tailandia. Nos sorprende ver a los ni\u00f1os crecer f\u00edsica y espiritualmente. A medida que crecen, no hemos podido f\u00e1cilmente reconocer la mayor\u00eda de ellos, pero est\u00e1n ah\u00ed con nosotros. A pesar de que algunos de los j\u00f3venes ya no estaban en el pueblo y fueron reubicados en otras partes de Tailandia en busca de educaci\u00f3n superior y de pastos m\u00e1s verdes, este ministerio va a continuar. Creemos que las semillas de la Palabra que plantamos de tener a Jes\u00fas en sus corazones permanecer\u00e1n y nunca morir. La mayor\u00eda de ellos se beneficiaron de las personas al programa de patrocinio gente hijo. Gracias por apoyar a los Ministerios PTP usted. El 15 aniversario de Pantamit Don Muang Iglesia el pasado 22 de enero fue un gran \u00e9xito. Hubo m\u00e1s de un centenar de personas que vinieron y alegremente celebran con nosotros. El tema de este a\u00f1o fue \u201cDios es bueno!\u201d El Se\u00f1or bendice continuamente la iglesia para dar mucho fruto, tanto en calidad como en cantidad. Por otra parte, se han a\u00f1adido seis nuevos creyentes a la iglesia y recientemente se bautiz\u00f3. \u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or! Gracias y que Dios los bendiga a todos.","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/04\/Gonzales-Cover-1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-nH","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469","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=1469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
