CHRISTMAS GREETINGS,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A JOYOUS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR<\/span><\/h2>\n

Salutations from our home to yours. During this season of the year, it seems everyone is busy running here and there. That is because we all are. However, at the end of every year is the beginning of a new one.<\/p>\n

GOOD NEWS FROM THE FIELD<\/span><\/h2>\n

There have been nine churches planted throughout the last quarter in the Gulf Coast Region (Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala). There are others in the works but, before announcing those, we want to make sure they are up and running. However, the planting of nine new churches, alone, is a reason to praise the Lord.<\/p>\n

CHURCH GROWTH<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some of the churches Phyllis and I work with are experiencing growth beyond our imagination. For example, about two years ago, one church launched two new churches in a large city. Phyllis and I ministered in these churches on our last tour. Both works outgrew their facilities and went on to purchase their own properties. As soon as we return, we have plans to begin a School of Ministry in both of these new churches.<\/p>\n

\"Stage<\/a><\/p>\n

The main church, which launched the new works, grew and is now running around 1,800 members.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

SEED TIME HARVEST TIME<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days\" (Ecclesiastes 11:1). Plant your seed at the right time, and you will reap a harvest.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Planting your seed at the right time really does work if we are willing and obedient.<\/p>\n

MEETING WITH LEADERSHIP IN SAN QUINTIN<\/span><\/h2>\n

We have been working in the San Quintin area for some time. The Gulf Coast Region has five churches represented in the area. In October, because of the generosity of God's people, we were able to deliver funds to help with the construction of one of our growing works. San Quintin sits in the mid-part of the Baja California, Mexico Peninsula. It is also an area of violence against Christians. A few months back, the local cartel attacked a pastor and his church because they refused to pay the piso (bribe for protection). The cartel burned a building and destroyed personal property. Some believers do face persecution that many back home hardly, if ever, see.<\/p>\n

HOLMES BIBLE COLLEGE MEXICO ANNEX AND THE SCHOOL OF MINISTRY<\/span><\/h2>\n

As many know, Holmes in Mexico started in January of 2019 and has now finished its first trimester. Holmes and the School of Ministry (SOM) that Phyllis and I oversee go hand in hand. The SOM is used for the local church. Teaching, education, and motivation are the goals of the SOM, but Holmes is focused on helping those who sense a call of God, helping them to focus on the more weighty aspects of what it takes to have a successful ministry.<\/p>\n

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN<\/span><\/h2>\n

What comes after the harvest? The answer is new converts, new workers to train, new territory, seed planting, working the field, and then, in God's timing, a new harvest. Right now, we are in harvest. Together, we can and are making a difference.<\/p>\n

HEADING BACK TO THE FIELD<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once we are finished here in the U.S., we head back to the Gulf Coast Region. Before leaving for furlough, we already had five schools on the books, including Holmes, Belize, and Guatemala. Our workload is piling up. As soon as we return, we will hit the ground running. We are excited and super anxious to return.<\/p>\n

A WORD FROM THE LITTLE LADY<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dear friends,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ron and I just spent a great time with our family. It was so wonderful to be with them. We always try and make memories and enjoy each and every moment that The Lord gives us.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

We hear from the field the great news of how God is still visiting our churches. He is growing churches, and new churches are being planted. What an awesome God we serve! I'm so very thankful for all of our faithful partners who love, support, and pray for us. As we have shared in many churches over the last few months, reaching the lost is His vision. We make His vision our mission. In The Gulf Coast Region, it is harvest time. PTL<\/p>\n

Ron and I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with many blessings.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nPhyllis<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

IN CLOSING\/THE BUDGET<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to the commitments made, we should be on budget. However, to return, we must have two months of a fully supported budget. We are close. So, if everyone who filled out a card and made a commitment would prayerfully and kindly send in their commitments in a timely fashion, with a joyful heart (God loves a cheerful giver. The Bible says so), we can be on our way. We are in harvest. Every wise leader knows harvest will not last forever.<\/p>\n

Hemos estado viajando en los Estados Unidos desde el 6 de diciembre de 2018, desde California hasta Carolina del Sur y del Norte. \u00a1Dios es bueno! \u00c9l siempre nos proporciona un lugar para quedarse y un autom\u00f3vil para usar para desplazarnos. Agradecemos a las siguientes iglesias que hemos visitado por su amabilidad, calidez, hospitalidad y generosidad: la Comunidad Internacional de Cristo, los Ministerios Cristianos de Berea, Jes\u00fas es el Se\u00f1or, la Iglesia de la Ciudad Cristiana, la Cruz a la Vida, la Palabra de Vida, la Iglesia Cristiana Filipina, Springfield PH Church, Laurinburg PH Church, Woodville PH Church, Abundant Life Church, Goose Creek PH Church y Brock's Chapel. Nos sentimos honrados y encantados de testificar de la bondad y la fidelidad de Dios. \u00c9l continuamente prospera y bendice el ministerio en Tailandia y los pa\u00edses vecinos (Laos, Vietnam y Myanmar). El 23 de diciembre, 24 budistas recibieron al Se\u00f1or Jes\u00fas durante la celebraci\u00f3n de la Navidad en nuestra iglesia en Don Muang, Bangkok. El 24 y 26 de enero, el pastor Steve Willis y Jim Cox de Valley Harvest Ministries en Virginia llevaron a cabo un seminario de liderazgo en el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n de Misiones Indo-China (Mekong Bible Training Center) en Mae Sai con la ayuda del Pastor Chi Chang, el Pastor Big Laddawan, y los misioneros, Doug y Jill Nelson. Fue un gran seminario al que asistieron 40 l\u00edderes provenientes de Tailandia, Laos, Camboya y Myanmar. El tema de la conferencia fue \"S\u00e9 fiel\". La construcci\u00f3n de la tercera fase del dormitorio en el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n B\u00edblica Mekong y la cafeter\u00eda en el Seminario Teol\u00f3gico de Tailandia est\u00e1n avanzando. Ambos proyectos deben completarse para obtener mejores instalaciones y programas de discipulado efectivos para nuestros estudiantes. Si desea ser parte de este esfuerzo, env\u00ede su contribuci\u00f3n a IPHC WMM, Oklahoma City con el n\u00famero de cuenta del proyecto designado: 74015 para MBTC y 74520 para TTS. Gracias a IPHC WMM, a la subvenci\u00f3n del Proyecto Antioch, a Valley Harvest Ministries en Virginia, a Bible Temple Church en Toledo, Ohio, y al Equipo de Construcci\u00f3n de Cornerstone por apoyar el proyecto MBTC. Agradecemos a nuestro director nacional, el Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol, por asistir a la sexta Asamblea Mundial en Chile, del 20 al 22 de febrero, para representar a Tailandia. Ella fue animada y tuvo un tiempo maravilloso con hermanos de diferentes partes del mundo. Damos gracias a Dios por su liderazgo. Tuvimos la suerte de participar en los eventos de comidas de la Gran Comisi\u00f3n de Carolina del Norte, dirigidos por Doug Bartlett, que comenzaron el 14 de febrero y se extendieron hasta el 7 de marzo (totalizando 12 reuniones). \u00a1Estas comidas estuvieron llenas de grandes personas, excelentes informes de misioneros, excelente comida, excelente compa\u00f1erismo y una gran oportunidad para que las iglesias se asocien con misioneros! Gracias a los representantes de IPHC WMM, el Dr. Terry Tramel y el Reverendo Brian Nix, por animar a las iglesias a ganar almas para Jes\u00fas en todo el mundo al apoyar a los misioneros y diferentes proyectos. Sus oraciones y amables invitaciones para que vayamos a su iglesia son muy apreciadas. Puede contactarnos al (916)841-7412 o jiepalbert@hotmail.com. Por favor, oren para que podamos cumplir con nuestro presupuesto y regresar al campo en o antes de mediados de junio por otro per\u00edodo de tres a\u00f1os. Que se haga su voluntad. Gracias y que Dios los bendiga a todos.<\/strong> Sus<\/strong><\/em> colaboradores<\/strong><\/em> en Cristo, el<\/strong><\/em> hermano Albert y la hermana Jiep<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0<\/em> Gonzales<\/em><\/strong>\r\n
