SEASONS GREETINGS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We trust all is going well with you and yours.<\/p>\n

A quick note: Staying connected, engaged, and active are the three ingredients needed for all endeavors to have a successful outcome. Your participation really does matter and makes a tremendous difference.<\/p>\n

MEXICO<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Even though the border is still closed to many, and restrictions are still in place, many of our churches and conferences are adjusting and moving forward. Recently Berea Church (Berea is the church that is housing Holmes Bible College, Mx) baptized 30 new believers. The pandemic may have slowed everything down, but it has not stopped the gathering of the harvest.<\/p>\n

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

STAYING WITH THE BASIC PRIORITIES IS SUPER IMPORTANT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

WINNING THE LOST - PRIORITY 1<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This work began during the shutdown. I made a trip and was able to meet some of the new believers and minister not far from Ensenada. Of course, as much as anyone, I enjoy ministering to large crowds. However, we can be reminded of the scripture where Jesus speaks of leaving the ninety-nine to seek out the one lost sheep. The Lord is sincerely concerned about His creation. I love new beginnings. New beginnings lead to greater things to come. PTL<\/p>\n

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

MINISTERIAL TRAINING - PRIORITY 2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The training was five days long, with 96 people in attendance. This was just one sector. The pandemic forced everyone to rethink how reaching the lost and growing churches will be accomplished. I am excited about the prospects.<\/p>\n

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

MOVING FORWARD - PRIORITY 3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

HOLMES BIBLE COLLEGE MEXICO - SOMETIMES THINGS NEED TO BE SHAKEN UP<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the goals we had for Holmes was to produce the teachings online so we could annex the school to other locations simultaneously. The shutdown moved Holmes in that direction. When everything fully opens, we will have the skeleton of the system needed in place, and if the shutdown is extended, we have the option to branch out when the opportunity presents itself. PTL<\/p>\n

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

BELIZE - IMPROVISING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the travel ban and shutdowns, many pastors cannot reach out to their congregations. Instead of losing touch with the people, they are now putting together sermon outlines and studies and empowering the elders to branch out.<\/p>\n

HURRICANE RELIEF<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In September, Belize was hit by a hurricane. Twenty-five of our church families lost a good portion of their corn crops. Working with our missionary, Gene Hancock, and Belizean leaders, The Gulf Coast Region was able to send funds to purchase seed corn in order to replant. Team-work works.<\/p>\n

GUATEMALA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As you may recall from our last newsletter, funds were raised to purchase land and a building in Mazatenango, Guatemala. All the funds arrived in a timely fashion. The deal has been signed, sealed, and delivered. I want to give a big shoutout to everyone who helped and participated. We are working together and accomplishing the mission. PTL<\/p>\n

PHYL'S WORLD - HOLIDAY GREETINGS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The year 2020 has been very different for all of us. However, the Lord is faithful in fulfilling His plan in all of our lives. We are looking forward to seeing our family this Christmas, if travel permits.<\/p>\n

Our grandson, Riaan (Amber and Louis\u2019s son), is growing so fast. He is sooo handsome like his Paw Paw. Don\u2019t tell Ron, but I think Riaan is a bit more handsome than Ron (Lol). We also have three beautiful granddaughters. We miss them.<\/p>\n

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

Ron and I thank you so kindly for your prayers and support, especially your prayers. Prayers can go where nothing else can and change any situation.<\/p>\n

Again, thank you, and may you have a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2021.<\/p>\n

IN CLOSING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As mention earlier, your participation really does matter and makes a tremendous difference. Even with a shutdown, we are seeing a harvest of people coming to Jesus.<\/p>\n

Your continued faithful prayers and giving help make this possible. Thank you, and may God\u2019s best always be yours.<\/p>\n

IN HIS SERVICE<\/span>
\nLOVE AND BLESSINGS<\/span><\/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
