Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n<p><em>ACTIVITY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LAST FEW MONTHS:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>CONFERENCE IN SAN LUIS POTOSI<\/strong><br \/>\nThe conference in San Luis Potos\u00ed was held June 19-20. There were somewhere in the neighborhood of 750 in attendance, with a variety of speakers. A new generation of leadership is coming into view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SCHOOLS OF MINISTRY<\/strong><br \/>\nAlong with holding meetings, building programs, and teaching, we oversee and work with several Schools of Ministry. This year alone we will graduate three third-trimester classes. One we graduated in June, another in July, and one more in August.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAN FELIPE<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom the time the School of Ministry started, they have since doubled and had to move to a larger building. They have already mentioned wanting to begin to reach out to other areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ELIEZER<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the beginning of the year, this church baptized a little over 100 converts. On July 16th, the church baptized another 119. Also they have started two new churches and are running cell groups as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MANHIUM WORK PROJECT 55014P<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is one of the two churches that were started, and we are getting to help them. They have outgrown their building and are in need of a bigger one. Some problems they are facing not really all that bad, but a larger building is definitely needed. Land has already been acquired and some funds have come in, but a little more help is needed. If a group would like to help, we are open to helping them get plugged in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEREA<\/strong><br \/>\nWe graduated 58 students on August 18th.<br \/>\nBack on June 7th, we had a meeting with Chris Thompson, the new director of Holmes Bible College. The Lord willing, this will be a new door with a new opportunity. Bishop Thompson will be one of the speakers for the IPHC Conference next year in February if there is no change with schedules.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEREA BUILDING PROJECT 55503P<\/strong><br \/>\nThe heat has slowed the building project down a little. Temperatures are running into the 100&#8217;s. After 104\u00b0F, I have to retire from the heat, as most everyone else. However after September, the cool air returns. If you have a group who would like to partner with us for next year, please contact us! We have the work if you have the desire to help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE KINGDOM OF GOD<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Kingdom of God was designed to expand. The School of Ministry that we help provide gives the momentum to expand. This year we are graduating a total of 94 students. Some of those graduating will move to a higher level while new students begin. To this day, I cannot understand, nor can I accept, that somehow we should retreat from planting new churches as we reach out to win new people. I&#8217;m not for, nor against, the mega church model some have focused on. I am for growth, whether it be through a mega outreach or a group of people reaching out to their friends, relatives, neighbors and schools. Whichever process or approach taken, we desire to win people over to the Lord. True and successful ministry will always be making an eternal impact on mankind. The head of the Church said, &#8220;GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THIS GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE AND THEN THE END SHALL COME.&#8221; When that is accomplished, then we can say our work is done. Until then, as a former comrade who has gone on said often, &#8220;FORWARD WITH THE GOSPEL.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>PHYL&#8217;S WORLD<\/strong><br \/>\nDear Friends and Partners,<br \/>\nWe attended General Conference and, as of this writing, we are in route to Mexico. As many know by now, as we were heading to General Conference, we received news that my oldest brother passed away. After receiving the call, I felt a peace about his passing. God is so mindful of His children. He attended a church that Ron and I helped to start over 30 years ago. Ron was asked to speak for his memorial. We were blessed to see old friends and relatives who attended the service, and we were pleasantly surprised to learn how many attend that church (between 400-500, not bad for a town which a population of 15,000). To top it off, our pastor, who helped mentor Ron in ministry, attended to honor my brother and to hear one his disciples minister (Ron or The Ma&#8217;Ron, French for &#8220;my Ron&#8221;, as some affectionately call him). It was a good meeting despite the reason for the gathering.<\/p>\n<p>He has engraved us in the palm of His hands and has a plan for all of us. Ron and I thank you kindly for all your love, prayers, support and we are very appreciative that you have chosen to join us in fulfilling the Great Commission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Ron &amp; Phyllis Roy NEW DAY With the end of every day, there is a new one arriving.

La vida es un continuo y as\u00ed va un ministerio llamando. Phyllis y yo somos bendecidos, y nuestro deseo para ti es ser el mismo. \u00a1BENDITO! \u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or! <em>ACTIVIDAD DESTACADOS DE LOS \u00daLTIMOS MESES:<\/em> <strong>CONFERENCIA EN SAN LUIS POTOSI<\/strong> La conferencia de San Luis Potos\u00ed se celebr\u00f3 del 19 al 20 de junio. Hab\u00eda en alg\u00fan lugar en el barrio de 750 en la asistencia, con una variedad de oradores. Una nueva generaci\u00f3n de liderazgo est\u00e1 a la vista. <strong>ESCUELAS DE MINISTERIO<\/strong> Junto con la celebraci\u00f3n de reuniones, programas de construcci\u00f3n y ense\u00f1anza, supervisamos y trabajamos con varias Escuelas de Ministerio. Este a\u00f1o solo vamos a graduar tres clases del tercer trimestre. Uno nos graduamos en junio, otro en julio, y uno m\u00e1s en agosto. <strong>SAN FELIPE<\/strong> Desde el comienzo de la Escuela de Ministerio, desde entonces se han duplicado y han tenido que trasladarse a un edificio m\u00e1s grande. Ya han mencionado que quieren comenzar a llegar a otras \u00e1reas. <strong>ELIEZER<\/strong> A principios del a\u00f1o, esta iglesia bautiz\u00f3 un poco m\u00e1s de 100 conversos. El 16 de julio, la iglesia bautiz\u00f3 a otros 119. Tambi\u00e9n se han iniciado dos nuevas iglesias y se est\u00e1n ejecutando grupos celulares tambi\u00e9n. <strong>PROYECTO DE TRABAJO MANHIUM 55014P<\/strong> Esta es una de las dos iglesias que fueron iniciadas, y estamos llegando a ayudarlas. Han superado su edificio y est\u00e1n en necesidad de uno m\u00e1s grande. Algunos problemas que se enfrentan no realmente todo lo malo, pero un edificio m\u00e1s grande es definitivamente necesario. La tierra ya ha sido adquirida y algunos fondos han llegado, pero se necesita un poco m\u00e1s de ayuda. Si un grupo quiere ayudar, estamos abiertos a ayudarlos a conectarse. <strong>BEREA<\/strong> Nos graduamos 58 estudiantes el 18 de agosto. De regreso el 7 de junio, tuvimos una reuni\u00f3n con Chris Thompson, el nuevo director de Holmes Bible College. Si el Se\u00f1or quiere, esta ser\u00e1 una nueva puerta con una nueva oportunidad. El obispo Thompson ser\u00e1 uno de los oradores para la Conferencia de IPHC el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o en febrero si no hay cambio con los horarios. <strong>BEREA BUILDING PROJECT 55503P<\/strong> El calor ha frenado un poco el proyecto de construcci\u00f3n. Las temperaturas est\u00e1n llegando a los 100's. Despu\u00e9s de 104 \u00b0 F, tengo que retirarme del calor, como la mayor\u00eda de los dem\u00e1s. Sin embargo despu\u00e9s de septiembre, el aire fresco regresa. Si usted tiene un grupo que desea asociarse con nosotros para el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o, por favor, p\u00f3ngase en contacto con nosotros! Tenemos el trabajo si usted tiene el deseo de ayudar. <strong>EL REINO DE DIOS<\/strong> El Reino de Dios fue dise\u00f1ado para expandirse. La Escuela de Ministerio que ayudamos a proporcionar da el impulso para expandir. Este a\u00f1o estamos graduando un total de 94 estudiantes. Algunos de los que se grad\u00faan se mover\u00e1n a un nivel m\u00e1s alto mientras que los nuevos estudiantes comiencen. Hasta el d\u00eda de hoy, no puedo entender, ni puedo aceptar, que de alguna manera debi\u00e9ramos retirarnos de plantar nuevas iglesias mientras nos acercamos para ganar gente nueva. No estoy a favor, ni en contra, del modelo mega-iglesia en el que algunos se han centrado. Yo soy para el crecimiento, ya sea a trav\u00e9s de un mega alcance o un grupo de personas que llegan a sus amigos, familiares, vecinos y escuelas. Sea cual sea el proceso o enfoque adoptado, deseamos ganar a la gente al Se\u00f1or. El ministerio verdadero y exitoso siempre estar\u00e1 produciendo un impacto eterno en la humanidad. La cabeza de la Iglesia dijo: \"VAN A TODO EL MUNDO Y PREDICEN ESTE EVANGELIO A CADA CRIATURA Y ENTONCES EL FIN VIENE\". Cuando esto se logra, entonces podemos decir que nuestro trabajo est\u00e1 hecho. Hasta entonces, como un antiguo camarada que ha dicho muchas veces, \"HACIA ADELANTE CON EL EVANGELIO\". <strong>EL MUNDO DE PHYL<\/strong> Queridos amigos y <strong>compa\u00f1eros<\/strong> , Asistimos a la Conferencia General y, a partir de este escrito, estamos en ruta hacia M\u00e9xico. Como muchos ya saben, mientras nos dirig\u00edamos a la Conferencia General, recibimos noticias de que mi hermano mayor falleci\u00f3. Despu\u00e9s de recibir la llamada, sent\u00ed una paz por su muerte. Dios es tan consciente de sus hijos. Asisti\u00f3 a una iglesia que Ron y yo ayudamos a comenzar hace m\u00e1s de 30 a\u00f1os. Se le pidi\u00f3 a Ron que hablara por su memorial. Fuimos bendecidos para ver viejos amigos y parientes que asistieron al servicio, y nos sorprendi\u00f3 gratamente para saber cu\u00e1ntos asisten a esa iglesia (entre 400-500, no est\u00e1 mal para una ciudad que una poblaci\u00f3n de 15,000). Para colmo, nuestro pastor, que ayud\u00f3 a mentor Ron en el ministerio, asisti\u00f3 a honrar a mi hermano y escuchar a uno de sus disc\u00edpulos de ministro (Ron o The Ma'Ron, franc\u00e9s para \"mi Ron\", como algunos le llaman cari\u00f1osamente). Fue una buena reuni\u00f3n a pesar de la raz\u00f3n de la reuni\u00f3n. \u00c9l nos ha grabado en la palma de sus manos y tiene un plan para todos nosotros. Ron y yo le agradecemos amablemente por todo su amor, oraciones, apoyo y estamos muy agradecidos que usted ha elegido unirse a nosotros en el cumplimiento de la Gran Comisi\u00f3n.","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/09\/roy-cover-photo.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-qG","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1654","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=1654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1654\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
