Greetings from Asia,<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Coli and I trust that you and your family are well and blessed as we enter the Christmas season. Here in the Philippines, we are thankful that God\u2019s hand is on the ministry and our lives. We are super excited that God opened up a door for us to move Life Church Cebu to a brand new 5th-floor location within walking distance from our original auditorium.<\/p>\n

The church, School of Ministry Cebu, and weekly young professional and youth groups are all loving this new location. Please pray with us that somehow the Lord would provide an amazing miracle for us to buy the building, next to our new location. It is a 3-story building extremely suitable for Life Coffee House & Library, children\u2019s ministry, Life Groups, and the 3rd floor can even be used as a guest house for visiting pastors and missionaries. This is a big vision and we believe God is still a miracle working God. Amen?<\/p>\n

The good news is, we can move in as soon as we have $100K. We would then have two full years to pay the balance. I see a way, but only with a miracle, and I am asking you to pray, pray, pray and believe for this miracle! To partner with us on the building, please donate to Life Church Cebu Acct #24512P.<\/p>\n

We are also grateful for God\u2019s protection over us during the recent super-typhoon and resulting landslides that displaced over 5,000 people near our church. We are thankful for your prayer and partnership that is allowing us to minister, do relief work, evangelize in our community, and disciple those we serve.<\/p>\n

Again, we are grateful for your prayer and partnership. Together, we can make a difference in Asia.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!<\/p>\n

CRECIMIENTO DEL EVANGELIO EN TAILANDIA<\/span><\/h2>\r\nEn octubre, Russell viaj\u00f3 a Bangkok para los primeros ejercicios de graduaci\u00f3n del Seminario Teol\u00f3gico de Tailandia. El obispo Talmadge Gardner, director ejecutivo de los Ministerios de Misiones Mundiales, pronunci\u00f3 el discurso de graduaci\u00f3n, desafiando a los graduados a \"predicar la Palabra\" y cumplir con el llamado de Dios en sus vidas. Diecinueve graduados recibieron diplomas, ocho obtuvieron t\u00edtulos de licenciatura en teolog\u00eda y ocho obtuvieron t\u00edtulos de maestr\u00eda en ministerio cristiano. Los graduados incluyeron a cuatro j\u00f3venes ministros de Laos, donde Dios abri\u00f3 una puerta para el nuevo trabajo de IPHC. Despu\u00e9s de las ceremonias de graduaci\u00f3n, Russell y el obispo Gardner viajaron al norte a Pakchong para la 15\u00aa conferencia anual de IPHC Tailandia. Los oradores especiales incluyeron al Reverendo Edgar Banaga y al Dr. Sabu Abraham. Alrededor de 140 pastores y l\u00edderes asistieron a la conferencia, donde el Se\u00f1or habl\u00f3 a Su pueblo sobre \"Terminar la tarea\". Lo m\u00e1s destacado fue la ceremonia de acreditaci\u00f3n, donde 19 personas fueron recibidas como Trabajadores de la Misi\u00f3n, 12 se convirtieron en Ministros con licencia y 11 recibieron la Ordenaci\u00f3n. Damos gracias a Dios por los nuevos trabajadores que ingresan a los campos de cosecha en Tailandia, donde los cristianos representan menos del 1% de la poblaci\u00f3n. \u00a1El escenario est\u00e1 listo para un r\u00e1pido crecimiento en el futuro!\r\n

HITOS EN BANGLADESH<\/span><\/h2>\r\nEn noviembre, Russell viaj\u00f3 a Bangladesh para la celebraci\u00f3n decenal de la Academia de Santidad. Se llev\u00f3 a cabo una ceremonia de dedicaci\u00f3n para la secci\u00f3n final del complejo educativo, que incluye aulas, dormitorios para estudiantes, apartamentos para maestros visitantes y comedores y salas de reuniones. La Academia de Santidad ofrece una excelente educaci\u00f3n con una base cristiana a los ni\u00f1os de familias musulmanas en la comunidad local e incluye instalaciones de internado para ni\u00f1os de familias cristianas en aldeas remotas donde las escuelas son pobres o no existen. Estamos en deuda con la familia de Moses y Dean King, cuyas generosas donaciones a lo largo de los a\u00f1os han resultado en una estructura magn\u00edfica donde Dios es glorificado y los estudiantes est\u00e1n equipados para transformar su naci\u00f3n. Los misioneros Vijay y Aparanjani Balla, han hecho un trabajo sobresaliente en el desarrollo de esta escuela y en liderar el trabajo en Bangladesh, que se ha ampliado para incluir a 35 iglesias. Russell se uni\u00f3 a Vijay visitando varias aldeas remotas en el sur y el norte, reuni\u00e9ndose y alentando a los creyentes, y compartiendo la Palabra del Se\u00f1or.\r\n

PUNTOS PARA LA ORACION<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\u2022 Ore por la continua expansi\u00f3n del Seminario Teol\u00f3gico de Tailandia. Se necesitan fondos para completar la construcci\u00f3n de aulas y dormitorios. \u2022 Ore por los ministros reci\u00e9n acreditados en IPHC Tailandia, para que sirvan al Se\u00f1or con alegr\u00eda y fidelidad, y den frutos para Su gloria. \u2022 Ore por la facultad y los estudiantes de la Academia de Santidad, y por la provisi\u00f3n para las necesidades financieras de la escuela. \u2022 Ore por los pastores en Bangladesh, cuyos esfuerzos a menudo son rechazados por la mayor\u00eda de la poblaci\u00f3n musulmana. \u2022 Ore por nosotros mientras brindamos supervisi\u00f3n a una docena de pa\u00edses en Asia y procuramos movilizar personal y recursos para alcanzar a los no alcanzados.
