GOSPEL GROWTH IN THAILAND<\/span><\/h2>\n

In October, Russell traveled to Bangkok for the first commencement exercises of the Thailand Theological Seminary. Bishop Talmadge Gardner, executive director of World Missions Ministries, delivered the commencement address, challenging the graduates to \u201cpreach the Word,\u201d and to fulfill God\u2019s calling on their lives. Nineteen graduates received diplomas, eight were awarded Bachelor degrees in Theology, and eight were awarded Master degrees in Christian Ministry. The graduates included four young ministers from Laos, where God has opened a door for new IPHC work.<\/p>\n

Following the commencement ceremonies, Russell and Bishop Gardner journeyed north to Pakchong for the 15th annual conference of IPHC Thailand. Special speakers included Rev. Edgar Banaga and Dr. Sabu Abraham. Some 140 pastors and leaders attended the conference, where the Lord spoke to His people about \u201cFinishing the Task.\u201d A highlight was the credentialing ceremony, where 19 individuals were welcomed as Mission Workers, 12 became Licensed Ministers, and 11 received Ordination.<\/p>\n

We give thanks to God for the new workers entering the harvest fields in Thailand, where Christians number less than 1% of the population. The stage is set for rapid growth in the future!<\/p>\n

MILESTONES IN BANGLADESH<\/span><\/h2>\n

In November, Russell traveled to Bangladesh for the decennial celebration of the Holiness Academy. A ceremony of dedication was held for the final section of the educational complex, which includes classrooms, dorm rooms for students, apartments for visiting teachers, and dining and meeting halls. The Holiness Academy provides an excellent education with a Christian basis to the children of Muslim families in the local community and includes boarding facilities for children from Christian families in remote villages where schools are poor or non-existent.<\/p>\n

We are indebted to the family of Moses and Dean King, whose generous donations over the years have resulted in a magnificent structure where God is glorified and students are equipped to transform their nation.<\/p>\n

Missionaries Vijay and Aparanjani Balla, have done an outstanding job in developing this school and leading the work in Bangladesh, which has expanded to include 35 churches. Russell joined Vijay in visiting several remote villages in the south and north, meeting and encouraging believers, and sharing the Word of the Lord.<\/p>\n

POINTS FOR PRAYER<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2022 Pray for the continued expansion of Thailand Theological Seminary. Funds are needed to complete construction of classrooms and dormitories.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pray for the newly credentialed ministers in IPHC Thailand, that they will serve the Lord with joy and faithfulness, and bear fruit for His glory.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pray for the faculty and students of the Holiness Academy, and for provision for the financial needs of the school.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pray for the pastors in Bangladesh, whose efforts are often opposed by the majority Muslim population.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pray for us as we provide oversight to a dozen countries in Asia, and seek to mobilize personnel and resources to reach the unreached.<\/p>\n

Nuestro horario de permiso para viajar a los EE. UU. Se traslad\u00f3 a diciembre en lugar de noviembre debido a algunas tareas pendientes antes de salir de Tailandia. Agradecemos a Dios por permitirnos completar nuestro per\u00edodo de tres a\u00f1os en el campo y ver las obras poderosas de Dios que llevaron a la salvaci\u00f3n de m\u00e1s de 200 almas, un aumento de 44 iglesias en 2015 a 64 a partir de esta fecha, y un aumento en la membres\u00eda de 2.155 a m\u00e1s de 3.000 personas. \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> Alabamos al Se\u00f1or por el establecimiento del Seminario Teol\u00f3gico de Tailandia (TTS, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) y el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n de Misiones de Indochina, ya que ambas instituciones avanzan progresivamente. El nuevo edificio acad\u00e9mico de TTS en Petchabun fue dedicado el 10 de octubre. \u00danase a nosotros en oraci\u00f3n para que el proyecto de construcci\u00f3n principal de TTS reciba ayuda a trav\u00e9s de Project Antioch Grant este a\u00f1o. Esto ayudar\u00e1 a TTS a hacer que nuestro programa de discipulado y entrenamiento pastoral sean m\u00e1s efectivos. Si el Se\u00f1or lo est\u00e1 guiando para ser parte de este esfuerzo y para apoyar este proyecto, env\u00ede amablemente todos los fondos a la Cuenta de Proyecto N\u00famero 74520P. El Seminario sobre plantaci\u00f3n de iglesias de discipulado, dirigido por el Reverendo Chris Friend (Director Nacional para Australia) y el Reverendo Daron Crothers, sigui\u00f3 inmediatamente la dedicaci\u00f3n de ese d\u00eda. Fue un gran seminario que encendi\u00f3 a los 35 estudiantes graduados de TTS para plantar iglesias en todas las \u00e1reas que posiblemente puedan alcanzar para el evangelio. Los participantes recibieron certificados de finalizaci\u00f3n al final del seminario el 12 de octubre. Los primeros ejercicios de graduaci\u00f3n de TTS el 23 de octubre, que se llevaron a cabo en el Town in Town Hotel en Bangkok, fueron impresionantes. Hubo 35 graduados, de los cuales 19 de ellos recibieron sus diplomas en Estudios Ministeriales, ocho licenciaturas en Ministerios Cristianos y ocho maestr\u00edas en Ministerios Cristianos. Tuvimos el privilegio y el honor de tener con nosotros al obispo Talmadge Gardner, quien pronunci\u00f3 un discurso de graduaci\u00f3n muy desafiante durante la graduaci\u00f3n. \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> Al d\u00eda siguiente, la 15\u00aa Conferencia IPHC \/ ACA 2018 en Pakchong, Ratchatsima entr\u00f3 en vigor con la reuni\u00f3n de 140 pastores y l\u00edderes de diferentes partes de Tailandia. Agradecemos a Dios por nuestros oradores invitados ungidos, a saber: el obispo Talmadge Gardner, el reverendo Dr. Sabu Abraham, el reverendo Dr. Edgar Banaga y el reverendo Russell Board. El Se\u00f1or los us\u00f3 a todos poderosamente para impartir profundamente en nuestros corazones y mentes para terminar la tarea que el Se\u00f1or nos ha asignado hacer. Uno de los aspectos m\u00e1s destacados de la conferencia fue el Servicio de Ordenaci\u00f3n dirigido por el Obispo Talmadge Gardner y asistido por el Rev. Russell Board, donde 19 trabajadores misioneros y 12 ministros recibieron sus licencias, y 11 ministros fueron ordenados. La conferencia termin\u00f3 el 26 de octubre con acci\u00f3n de gracias en nuestros corazones, y con alegr\u00eda regresamos a casa glorificando al Se\u00f1or Dios Todopoderoso. \u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or! Nueve nuevos creyentes de la Iglesia Don Muang fueron bautizados el 22 de septiembre, y dos de ellos se convirtieron en parte del equipo de adoraci\u00f3n. Adem\u00e1s, recientemente, hubo seis personas que recibieron a Jesucristo como su Se\u00f1or y Salvador en la Iglesia Don Muang. Gracias por sus continuas oraciones y apoyo inquebrantable. Feliz Navidad y Feliz A\u00f1o Nuevo a todos! \u00a1Te veo pronto! Que Dios te bendiga abundantemente y abundantemente.
