Our Beloved Partners and Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jiep with Pastor Lorenzo Aguilar and family in Manasses<\/p><\/div>\n

We are grateful to God for the privilege to continue serving Him as missionaries here in Thailand since 2001. Thank you for your continual prayers and unwavering support. We returned to Thailand with thanksgiving in our hearts on May 24, after our six-month furlough in the United States. We really enjoyed our time with you, our relatives, friends, and lovely daughter, Liza. We were immensely touched by your kindness, warm hospitality, and generosity. Thank you so much!<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord! There were five Buddhists who received the Lord Jesus Christ recently at our church in Don Muang, Bangkok in different Sunday services. Moreover, the number of members is increasing, including the children. We are praying and hoping to buy the property beside our church. If the Lord is leading you to be part of this vision, kindly send your donation to WMM project number 74520P. This church is the first IPHC church in Thailand.<\/p>\n

My trip to Cebu, Philippines, from June 17-24, for a family reunion and speaking engagements in two IPHC churches was awesome. There were three people who were saved, and I was able to encourage my family, including my cousins and biological brother and sisters, by sharing the word that our hope is in Jesus Christ. I came back home to Thailand, praising and glorifying the Almighty God.
\nWe thank God for His continuous blessings upon the ministry. During our quarterly meeting in Bangkok, on July 5, it was reported that several churches were planted and new independent churches were being added to the IPHC Thailand. We are now about to reach 80 churches from 70 in January. The Thailand Theological Seminary (TTS) is also progressing. There are now five school branches beside the Main TTS in Petchabun. These are located in Bangkok, Petshanulok, Phraea, Pattaya, and Mae Sai.<\/p>\n

We thank God for strengthening our relationship with the Thai government, not only in Bangkok areas, but also in the provinces, by helping them to carry out their programs. We had a wonderful meeting with the governor and the vice governor of the Petchabun province, including the head of the Department of Social Development and Welfare and school district officials on June 26. We talked about the ASEAN Students Cultural Exchange. We were asked to organize and lead the students to make this government program work. We made a schedule to push this program from October 13-19, 2019, wherein 12 students, two teachers, and the Governor and his wife will go with us to Vietnam and will be led by Dr. Wallapa Wisasukmongchol. Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

The English camp that we conducted from July 23-26 to help Thai volunteer workers learn basic English communication and team building was a huge success. In spite of the very strict laws for a Christian organization to operate in Thailand, our good relationship with the Thai government helps us in many ways, such as renewing our religious organization and foundation licenses, visas, and medical benefits for pastors, missionaries, and volunteer workers. To God be the glory!<\/p>\n

May the Lord richly and abundantly bless you all.<\/p>\n

Your Co-laborers in Christ,<\/p>\n

Julio 2019<\/h3>\r\nLa palabra \"G\u00e9nesis\" en hebreo significa principio, primer, mejor, jefe, parte elegida. En griego, significa or\u00edgenes, fuente o comienzo. Estos significados traen un pensamiento personal: el comienzo de Dios en tu vida continuar\u00e1 hasta que se termine. \u00a1Lo que Dios comenz\u00f3 en ti es verdaderamente majestuoso! \u00c9l terminar\u00e1 en ti lo que EL ha comenzado. Filem\u00f3n 1: 5; Filipenses 1: 6\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n

India \"Conferencia occidental IPHC\"<\/h3>\r\nLa Conferencia Oeste contin\u00faa hacia adelante y est\u00e1 creciendo bajo el pastor Tony Misquitta. Adem\u00e1s de dirigir la conferencia, dirige semanalmente la Iglesia de la Juventud y la Iglesia del Centro. Lidera un grupo celular que se est\u00e1 formando en una iglesia con personas de Rajasthan. Agradecemos a quienes trabajan junto a Tony para ayudar a que esto sea posible. Tony y Roma recientemente celebraron el primer cumplea\u00f1os de Zion. Judith y yo pudimos llamar por Skype, orar por \u00e9l y saludar a toda la iglesia.\r\n

Ministerio reciente<\/h3>\r\nChase Granstaff y yo (Danny) viajamos recientemente a m\u00faltiples lugares en Nepal, celebrando cuatro \"reuniones de consulta\" con pastores actuales y nuevos. La presencia y el poder de Dios (especialmente en los tiempos de oraci\u00f3n) fueron evidentes y refrescantes. Estamos entusiasmados con los pastores j\u00f3venes que se unen a nuestra red IPHC. Son hombres j\u00f3venes capaces.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n\r\nJudith, Kristina y Marites celebraron una reuni\u00f3n de mujeres en Katmand\u00fa. Asistieron varias esposas de pastores y pastoras. La presencia del Esp\u00edritu Santo era hermosa, y todos est\u00e1bamos animados. Se requiere una gran fuerza y coraje para que una mujer est\u00e9 en el liderazgo de esta cultura.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\r\n\r\nEl d\u00eda de graduaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n lleg\u00f3 para el Pastor Gurung, nuestro Director de la Provincia Seis en Nepal. Recibi\u00f3 su Licenciatura en Teolog\u00eda en la Escuela B\u00edblica de Katmand\u00fa. Tuvimos el honor de ayudarlo con este logro.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n

NOTICIAS DE ALIVIO DE DESASTRES DE NEPAL<\/h3>\r\nAqu\u00ed hay muchas inundaciones, con informes diarios de muertes (108 personas muertas, muchas m\u00e1s heridas y algunas desaparecidas) por deslizamientos de tierra, derrumbes de edificios y ahogamientos. Las inundaciones llegan a la India desde Katmand\u00fa y muchos otros lugares de Asia. Varios pastores han reportado da\u00f1os a la propiedad en sus iglesias y escuelas. Tambi\u00e9n hay p\u00e9rdida de viviendas, as\u00ed como escasez de alimentos. Las necesidades son grandes.\r\n\r\nA partir de este momento, tenemos ocho iglesias de IPHC y cinco familias de IPHC que han sido totalmente destruidas o tienen da\u00f1os importantes en sus hogares e iglesias. Hay una escuela afiliada a IPHC de m\u00e1s de 200 ni\u00f1os que necesitan un muro de contenci\u00f3n, o toda la escuela puede colapsar. (El muro de la escuela se ha derrumbado, pero se ha comenzado a trabajar en las reparaciones). \u00a1No podemos hacer nada de esto sin su ayuda durante esta crisis! El costo total estimado para todos los proyectos actuales: $ 6,950 USD.
