FALL UPDATE<\/h2>\n

Greetings to all of you! Some of you are new to our journey, while others have been following along from the beginning of our 34 years as missionaries. We bring you the best seasons greetings and hope it has been a good year. We are finding that we are in a \u201charvest\u201d season in several of our countries in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and will bring you a few highlights of that. Churches are being planted every month, and people are coming to Christ!<\/p>\n

In September and October, we were in England, where we licensed and ordained nine more ministers. We then headed to Bulgaria for our Missionary Family Gathering and heard reports of the harvest hotspots around the world.<\/p>\n

UKRAINE<\/h2>\n

I (Bob) was with our leaders in Ukraine as we conducted a pastors conference on mobilizing discipleship. While in Ukraine, we also checked the progress of several projects we have underway. One project includes our new bakery in operation. This is an operational bakery and training for our men and women who are in the drug rehab center in the main complex.<\/p>\n

KRUSHINKA VILLAGE<\/h2>\n

Not far out of town from Kiev, our large drug rehab project is moving forward. The Fourplex was half-finished, and, at first, we rented it. We have now been able to buy the building and property and are finishing the other two units. This building currently houses 30 recovering drug addicts. Praise the Lord; they\u2019re really on their way to a new life in Christ. One of those individuals is thriving in their second year under Pastor Max.<\/p>\n

CHURCH PLANTING GOAL FOR 2020<\/h2>\n

The church planting goal for 2020 in Ukraine is to plant 10 new churches. We have one commitment already.<\/p>\n

ISRAEL<\/h2>\n

Went from Ukraine straight to Israel. What a \u201chappening\u201d place! I was with our leaders there, most of whom are ex-drug addicts. We baptized these new Jewish believers in the Jordan river while I was there.
\nI walked the \u201cskid row\u201d streets of Tel Aviv, where the drop-in coffee house\/feeding center is located. I saw the \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d men at our latest house church\/rehab center. There are now 32 locations, many of them, doubling as rehab houses and one as a church. These men and women are now redeemed and passionate for the Lord. The \u201cbefore\u201d is a sad scene, while the \u201cafter\u201d includes people like a man named Michael (far left picture), who was a 20-year addict, but now a dynamic leader.<\/p>\n

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

HAIFA<\/h2>\n

We now have a new location for the Haifa church. The house churches in this city can now move from their crowded buildings that hold only 140-150 people, to a building that was going to be high-end strip club that the city shut down before it could open. This building will seat 450-500. We consider this a win for the Church as the building had near $100,000 worth of computerized lighting and sound equipment that was left behind.<\/p>\n

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

BETHLEHEM<\/h2>\n

Our church in Bethlehem needs a new building, but that is easier said than done as this is mostly Muslim territory that won\u2019t rent to an evangelical church. Please join us in praying that they will be able to purchase their own facility, which is very expensive in that city.<\/p>\n

THANKFUL<\/h2>\n

How can we ever say adequate thanks for all of you who have participated with us in missions this year, and some of you for 33 years? Personally, we want you to know that we are honored to be your legs, hands, and eyes to get accomplished what the Lord has laid on our hearts. Our nationals were able to plant many new churches in Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, and Israel because you gave. Now over 65 new churches in the last three years have been planted. 2020 is lining up to be another banner year, and we\u2019re so glad you are part of all this.<\/p>\n

May the Lord richly bless you at this Christmas season. It is a JOY to serve Him.<\/p>\n

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

Queridos amigos, familiares y simpatizantes,<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>

Lo m\u00e1s destacado de 2019 fue organizar la primera Conferencia Nacional IPHC Nepal. Nos sentimos honrados de tener a Steve Cofer y Russell Board con nosotros para esta ocasi\u00f3n especial. Debido a la dificultad de viajar en esta naci\u00f3n, anticipamos la asistencia de 150 a 200 pastores; el registro total fue de cerca de 500 pastores presentes en este evento de un d\u00eda. M\u00e1s de 250 personas recibieron su licencia de ministro con IPHC Nepal. Ahora tenemos 388 iglesias que se han unido y m\u00e1s prospectos diariamente. A Dios sea la gloria por las grandes cosas que ha hecho en esta naci\u00f3n. Agradecemos a todos los presentes y extranjeros que ayudaron a que este d\u00eda fuera un \u00e9xito. <\/p>

<\/p>

Tenemos mucho que lograr a medida que avanzamos para entrenar, equipar y discipular. De octubre a diciembre, varios equipos vinieron a bendecir esta naci\u00f3n, y estamos agradecidos por cada persona que vino y dio de muchas maneras hermosas. <\/p>

Ronnie Turner y su equipo de construcci\u00f3n incluyeron al pastor Marvin Goodnight, Colon Faulkenbery y Ronnie Talbert. A trav\u00e9s de este equipo, la iglesia agreg\u00f3 nuevos techos, una pared y techo de ladrillo, pintura, electricidad, iluminaci\u00f3n, sillas, mesas y una nueva guitarra para el equipo de adoraci\u00f3n. Varios otros proyectos se est\u00e1n haciendo ahora por sus esfuerzos de recaudaci\u00f3n de fondos. <\/p>

Jim Eby lleg\u00f3 y organiz\u00f3 una Conferencia de la Gran Comisi\u00f3n. Promediamos 50 pastores durante un per\u00edodo de tres d\u00edas en una iglesia muy peque\u00f1a. Los pastores se sentaron en el piso todo el d\u00eda para este entrenamiento. La conferencia fue bien recibida, y muchos se comprometieron a ganar nuevos creyentes, discipularlos y plantar nuevas iglesias en los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os. <\/p>

Un equipo m\u00e9dico de Fountain of Life en Elizabeth City, Carolina del Norte, bendijo a Nepal al ver alrededor de 1,000 pacientes, y oraron por aquellos que aceptaron orar. Tenemos una nueva familia que acept\u00f3 a Jes\u00fas como Salvador despu\u00e9s de que el padre fue sanado de hipertensi\u00f3n. Creemos que muchos m\u00e1s testimonios vendr\u00e1n en los pr\u00f3ximos d\u00edas. <\/p>

El profeta Abner Su\u00e1rez de Dunn, Carolina del Norte, lleg\u00f3 a fines de noviembre para un tiempo de ministerio. La presencia de Dios en cada servicio bendijo, refresc\u00f3 y restaur\u00f3 muchas vidas. En nuestro servicio de adoraci\u00f3n, tuvimos alrededor de dos horas de alabanza espont\u00e1nea al Se\u00f1or. El pastor anfitri\u00f3n dio testimonio de que Dios confirm\u00f3 en este servicio las cosas por las que hab\u00eda estado orando durante mucho tiempo. <\/p>

Jon y Erica Campbell de Franklin Springs, GA, llegaron en diciembre. Erica ayud\u00f3 a ministrar en dos conferencias de mujeres en diferentes \u00e1reas de Nepal. Jon ministr\u00f3 en una de nuestras iglesias locales y tambi\u00e9n ayud\u00f3 con alabanzas y adoraci\u00f3n en varios lugares. <\/p>

<\/p>

Como puede ver, ha sido una temporada completa, pero un tiempo fruct\u00edfero y bendecido. <\/p>

Oramos por nuestros socios, nuestro equipo financiero, amigos y familiares en todo el mundo. Que 2020 sea un tiempo de bendiciones en cada una de sus vidas. <\/p>

Considere un regalo para este ministerio para que podamos celebrar reuniones en todas las provincias de Nepal. Hemos crecido r\u00e1pidamente y necesitamos las finanzas del ministerio para avanzar. Nuestra cuenta ministerial es de 25031 millones. Gracias por asociarse con nosotros. <\/p>
