WOW JUST WOW<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am always amazed at how some things work out. I won’t go into great detail, except to say, WOW! My car broke down, died in a mountain desert, just before sundown. Long story short, I made it to a hotel, safe and sound, and home by the next day. The car is beyond repair, with 229,400 miles. The engine is gone, so it is time for another. It served three missionaries well. The situation could have been worse, but church family jumped in to help with the rescue. God’s people are the best. PTL!!!<\/p>\n

BEREA BUILDING PROJECT NUMBER 55503P<\/strong><\/p>\n

The building project is moving forward. In September, we had a group from the Cornerstone Conference, South Henderson PHC in Henderson, NC come. I called them the Dream Team.<\/p>\n

It was reported to me after the group left that they had knocked out about three to four weeks work in four days. Another WOW moment. This is the third time through the years that this group has been in Mexico with us. We could use a few more good groups who would like to sow some time and talent into the future of someone who is less fortunate. Let us know if you are interested. We have the avenue for you.<\/p>\n

SOLID FOUNDATION NEEDED<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was informed today, that if all goes well this week, the frame goes up next week and then the roof. PTL!<\/p>\n

Because of the earthquake activity in the area (San Andres Fault-line), an extra good foundation is needed. Without this, there will be problems in the future. We can testify to this because the home we live in was built many years ago with a not so good foundation. Last year, due to tremors and I’m sure other reasons, we had not only cracks in the wall but plumbing failure, four underground leaks, and gushers. What a mess that was.<\/p>\n

SCHOOLS OF MINISTRY<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year we graduated 96 students. This class graduated on November 17. Depending on the dedication of the students, the schooling can go on for 1.5-3 years. What many do not know is that we have worked to offer a system that will cover the needs of those who lack a formal education, as well as those who have obtained college degrees. In this graduating class, some are in college and some already hold secular degrees, such as engineers, lawyers, dentist, etc. An opportunity to educate oneself in the Word of the Living God is too great of an opportunity to waste. A good foundation has such value, and we dare not miss the importance of its need.<\/p>\n

FUTURE LOOKING BRIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The year of 2017 was a busy one. Overseeing Schools of Ministry, the building program, along with holding meetings (a highlight for us), attending Conference functions, and yes, when not ministering, we do attend a local church and bi-monthly conference ministerial meetings. This year we ministered to two church plants that are growing and facing a need.<\/p>\n

MAHANAIM PROJECT NO. 55014P<\/strong><\/p>\n

These churches are in need of buildings. They have land and we have some funds to help, but not enough. If anyone would like to give a one-time offering, it would be greatly appreciated. These congregations are stretching themselves. They are not asking for a handout, but rather a helping hand. All funds, large and small, using this project’s number, will be sent to the church plants. This is World Missions Ministries’ policy, as well as mine.<\/p>\n

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO PHYLLIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

SEASONS GREETINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is such a blessing to know we have people like you praying and supporting us. God has been opening doors for us. As we live life, it is good to be faithful and thankful in all things. As mentioned by Ron, the situation with the car could have been worse. The vehicle may have failed us, but He did not and never does. I felt and experienced His peace through it all. In addition to the Lord and His goodness, we have three beautiful granddaughters and great kids, who are all serving The Lord. We are truly blessed.<\/p>\n

I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and many blessing for the New Year.<\/p>\n

IN CLOSING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phyllis and I are very much aware of those who pray and support us. The fact is, we believe in the ultimate vision of the Church, missions. We support several missionaries from around the world, we believe and practice what we preach. You are appreciated, prayed for, and valued. Together, we can, and we are making a difference for the better. From our hearts, and God’s blessings always be upon you and your home.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nRon & Phyllis Roy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\u00a1GUAUU! \u00a1\u00a1\u00a1LA IGLESIA SE VUELVE IMPRESIONANTE !!! HERMOSOS PIES, ALFOMBRAS, AIRE ACONDICIONADO, HERMOSO P\u00daLPURA Y VENTANAS MANUFACTURADAS ...<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

El primer servicio de la iglesia en los Estados Unidos es normalmente un choque cultural para nosotros despu\u00e9s de estar en \u00c1frica durante tres a\u00f1os. Muchas de nuestras iglesias en el sur de \u00c1frica tienen pisos de concreto, sin techos, ventanas b\u00e1sicas, ba\u00f1os exteriores, sin aire acondicionado y p\u00falpitos artesanales hechos con madera de desecho. Sin embargo, las personas all\u00ed est\u00e1n llenas del gozo del Se\u00f1or: danzar, cantar y dar testimonio de la provisi\u00f3n y la grandeza de Dios.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

GRADUACI\u00d3N Y BODA<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Un punto culminante de nuestro permiso ha sido asistir a la graduaci\u00f3n de la escuela secundaria de nuestra nieta, Shaan Delport. \"\"<\/a> Otro ha sido que Joe se haya casado con nuestro nieto, Trysten Delport, y su bella novia, Rachel Lowry Delport.<\/p>\r\n

NUESTRO VIAJE MISIONERO<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

La \u00fanica cosa que ha sostenido nuestro viaje como misioneros es el llamado de Dios. Durante veintinueve a\u00f1os, hemos experimentado la gu\u00eda y direcci\u00f3n de Dios en nuestras vidas. \u00c9l nunca nos ha fallado, independientemente de los desaf\u00edos que hemos tenido que enfrentar. Los catorce a\u00f1os que pasamos en Zimbabwe fueron muy gratificantes ya que invertimos en la vida de l\u00edderes, personas y ni\u00f1os. Fue durante ese tiempo, Dios nos llam\u00f3 al centro y norte de Mozambique a un pa\u00eds destrozado y personas heridas, que hab\u00edan sufrido 17 a\u00f1os de guerra civil. Este fue uno de los momentos m\u00e1s gratificantes de nuestro ministerio, ya que las personas recibieron a Jes\u00fas como su ancla.<\/p>\r\n

Nos pidieron que nos mudemos en 2002 para servir como Directores Regionales para \u00c1frica del Sur, supervisando el trabajo en seis pa\u00edses. En los \u00faltimos 15 a\u00f1os, hemos experimentado un movimiento fenomenal de Dios en esta regi\u00f3n. Los siguientes son algunos de los puntos destacados recientes:<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La APS sudafricana estableci\u00f3 su duod\u00e9cima conferencia en 2016<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La Conferencia General de Botswana tuvo una exitosa conferencia anual de 2017 en Mahalapye, Botswana. Est\u00e1n planeando comenzar dos conferencias nuevas.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 El programa de capacitaci\u00f3n de liderazgo ISOM (Escuela Internacional de Ministerio) ha sido muy efectivo en nuestra iglesia en Francistown, Botswana. Tambi\u00e9n se est\u00e1 estableciendo en otras \u00e1reas del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 En junio de 2016, celebramos la dedicaci\u00f3n de nuestra iglesia en Maputo, Mozambique. La iglesia ya tiene 300 personas presentes y est\u00e1 creciendo.<\/p>\r\n\u2022 En noviembre, 21 estudiantes se graduaron de Advance School of Ministry en Lilongwe,\r\n

NUESTRO VIAJE MISIONERO CONTINU\u00d3<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La capacitaci\u00f3n de DCPI est\u00e1 funcionando bien en Sud\u00e1frica. La mayor\u00eda de las conferencias han participado en los programas de capacitaci\u00f3n con buenos resultados.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 Varios equipos de EE. UU. Han visitado Mozambique a lo largo de los a\u00f1os.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 Joe realiz\u00f3 numerosos eventos de capacitaci\u00f3n de liderazgo en iglesias y conferencias durante todo el a\u00f1o.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La Conferencia General de Sud\u00e1frica ha estado trabajando arduamente para establecer el programa de capacitaci\u00f3n ISOM, que comenzar\u00e1 a principios de 2017. Cada una de las 12 conferencias se ha comprometido a que al menos cinco iglesias participen en el programa. Esto significa que habr\u00e1 60 centros de capacitaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 La Conferencia del Sur de Mozambique licenci\u00f3 a 22 l\u00edderes j\u00f3venes, y los desafi\u00f3 a convertirse en plantadores de iglesias en las ciudades y pueblos de la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 Swazilandia ha visto un crecimiento fenomenal de la iglesia. En ocho a\u00f1os, nuestros misioneros sudafricanos, el reverendo Xolani y Thembeka Ngema, han plantado seis iglesias. Est\u00e1n apuntando a Manzini, la segunda ciudad m\u00e1s grande de Swazilandia para plantar la pr\u00f3xima iglesia.<\/p>\r\n

SOLICITUD ESPECIAL<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Necesitamos soporte mensual adicional para permitirnos regresar al campo. Si puede contribuir a nuestro ministerio en el sur de \u00c1frica, lo apreciaremos mucho.<\/p>\r\n
