Dear Partners and Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are overwhelmed with joy for the $50,000.00 grant that was awarded to us to assist in the construction of Thailand Theological Seminary\u2019s (TTS) main building project in Petchabun, Thailand, through Project Antioch Grant 2020. This has brought much encouragement and excitement to our group. We thank God for the unwavering support of IPHC WMM to expand His kingdom in this country. We still need around $56,000.00 to complete this project. If you would like to donate to this project, kindly send your donation to WMM project account number 74520P. This project will enhance the effectiveness of our discipleship program. Presently, TTS has eight branches in different locations in Thailand, as well as the main TTS in Petchabun, with a total of 252 students. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Bishop J. Talmadge Gardner and the WMM council for the approval of this project request. We would also like to thank all of the donors, Dr. Terry Tramel, and his staff, who made this possible through the \u201cGO\u201d Offering. Indeed, God is faithful!<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord! The 16th Alliance Church Association (IPHC Thailand) Conference 2019, in Pakchong, Ratsima, held from October 23-25, 2019, was a great success. There were about 120 pastors and leaders who participated: 25 of them received their credentials as mission workers, seven as licensed minsters, and six as ordained ministers. The workers in the vineyard keep increasing every year! The harvest of souls for Jesus is also increasing! We had a great time of worship, teaching, preaching, prayer, and fellowship. Thanks to our anointed guest speakers: Revs. Steve Cofer, Russell Board, and Lorenzo Aguilar, whose messages brought us spiritual awakening, refreshing, and empowerment to serve Jesus more. The theme for this conference was \u201cFaithful God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blessed be the name of the Lord! Thirty people (mostly young people) received the Lord Jesus Christ last August at Valley View Community Christ's Christian Church in Caloocan City, Philippines, upon the invitation of my brother Jojo Gonzales to speak at the second anniversary of the church. Recently, three Buddhists were saved at our church in Don Muang, Bangkok, and 15 new believers were baptized in water. The church keeps growing! IPHC Thailand's number of churches is also growing!<\/p>\n

God is truly good! Our relationship with the Thai government is thriving, not only in Metropolitan Bangkok, but also in the Petchabun province. Our team of four, led by our National Director Dr. Wisawasukmongchol, hosted and facilitated the ASEAN Cultural Exchange Program in Vietnam from October 13-19. There were six government officials, and ten students from Petchabun, along with ten TTS students who were involved in this program. This is in line with our commitment to helping the Thai government in developing the community through education and humanitarian services. By having a good relationship with the Thai government, we are allowed to operate legally, freely, and expand the ministry without fear in this predominantly Buddhist nation. This is, indeed, a favor from God.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your faithfulness in partnering with us in fulfilling the Great Commission.<\/p>\n

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

Nuestros amados socios y amigos,<\/strong> <\/p>

<\/p>

Estamos agradecidos con Dios por el privilegio de continuar sirvi\u00e9ndole como misioneros aqu\u00ed en Tailandia desde 2001. Gracias por sus continuas oraciones y su inquebrantable apoyo. Regresamos a Tailandia con acci\u00f3n de gracias en nuestros corazones el 24 de mayo, despu\u00e9s de nuestro permiso de seis meses en los Estados Unidos. Realmente disfrutamos nuestro tiempo con ustedes, nuestros parientes, amigos y nuestra encantadora hija, Liza. Nos conmovi\u00f3 inmensamente su amabilidad, c\u00e1lida hospitalidad y generosidad. Muchas gracias! <\/p>

\u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or! Hubo cinco budistas que recibieron al Se\u00f1or Jesucristo recientemente en nuestra iglesia en Don Muang, Bangkok, en diferentes servicios dominicales. Adem\u00e1s, el n\u00famero de miembros est\u00e1 aumentando, incluidos los ni\u00f1os. Oramos y esperamos comprar la propiedad junto a nuestra iglesia. Si el Se\u00f1or lo est\u00e1 guiando a ser parte de esta visi\u00f3n, env\u00ede su donaci\u00f3n al n\u00famero de proyecto WMM 74520P. Esta iglesia es la primera iglesia de IPHC en Tailandia. <\/p>

Mi viaje a Ceb\u00fa, Filipinas, del 17 al 24 de junio, para una reuni\u00f3n familiar y participaci\u00f3n en conferencias en dos iglesias de IPHC fue incre\u00edble. Hubo tres personas que se salvaron, y pude alentar a mi familia, incluidos mis primos y mis hermanos y hermanas biol\u00f3gicos, al compartir la palabra de que nuestra esperanza est\u00e1 en Jesucristo. Regres\u00e9 a casa en Tailandia, alabando y glorificando al Dios Todopoderoso.
Agradecemos a Dios por sus continuas bendiciones sobre el ministerio. Durante nuestra reuni\u00f3n trimestral en Bangkok, el 5 de julio, se inform\u00f3 que se plantaron varias iglesias y se agregaron nuevas iglesias independientes al IPHC Tailandia. Ahora estamos a punto de llegar a 80 iglesias de 70 en enero. El Seminario Teol\u00f3gico de Tailandia (TTS) tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 progresando. Ahora hay cinco sucursales escolares al lado del TTS principal en Petchabun. Estos se encuentran en Bangkok, Petshanulok, Phraea, Pattaya y Mae Sai. <\/p>

Agradecemos a Dios por fortalecer nuestra relaci\u00f3n con el gobierno tailand\u00e9s, no solo en las \u00e1reas de Bangkok, sino tambi\u00e9n en las provincias, ayud\u00e1ndoles a llevar a cabo sus programas. Tuvimos una reuni\u00f3n maravillosa con el gobernador y el vicegobernador de la provincia de Petchabun, incluido el jefe del Departamento de Desarrollo Social y Bienestar y funcionarios del distrito escolar el 26 de junio. Hablamos sobre el Intercambio Cultural de Estudiantes de la ASEAN. Se nos pidi\u00f3 organizar y guiar a los estudiantes para que este programa gubernamental funcione. Hicimos un cronograma para impulsar este programa del 13 al 19 de octubre de 2019, en el que 12 estudiantes, dos maestros y el Gobernador y su esposa nos acompa\u00f1ar\u00e1n a Vietnam y ser\u00e1n dirigidos por el Dr. Wallapa Wisasukmongchol. \u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or! <\/p>

El campamento de ingl\u00e9s que realizamos del 23 al 26 de julio para ayudar a los trabajadores voluntarios tailandeses a aprender comunicaci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica en ingl\u00e9s y formar equipos fue un gran \u00e9xito. A pesar de las leyes muy estrictas para que una organizaci\u00f3n cristiana opere en Tailandia, nuestra buena relaci\u00f3n con el gobierno tailand\u00e9s nos ayuda de muchas maneras, como renovar nuestra organizaci\u00f3n religiosa y licencias de fundaciones, visas y beneficios m\u00e9dicos para pastores, misioneros y trabajadores voluntarios \u00a1A Dios sea la gloria! <\/p>

Que el Se\u00f1or los bendiga ricamente y en abundancia a todos. <\/p>

Tus colaboradores en Cristo, <\/p>
