GREETINGS ALL<\/span><\/h2>\n

I hope this means of communication finds you and your family doing well, encouraged, and walking in His abundant grace and mercy. We are moving forward with the 2021 agenda. God is good!<\/p>\n

WAR<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a Christian, I do not look forward to confrontations. After all, we are a people called to peace. However, when someone decides to make you a focus of their attention and attack, one must be prepared to stand.<\/p>\n

Christians are in a war! We have an enemy, and he is relentless in the pursuit of his goals to kill, steal, and destroy. Make no mistake about it. When you see those three in action, it's him. Also, we will have the victory promised if we stand as Paul said to do in Ephesians 6:10. Your sworn enemy knows this to be a proven fact. PTL.<\/p>\n

GULF COAST (HARVEST) REGION FIELD UPDATE<\/span><\/h2>\n

We call it the Harvest Region because that is what we see. Our churches have been hit hard, but many have maintained, while others have grown.<\/p>\n

MEXICO<\/span><\/h2>\n

Slowly, Mexico is beginning to open. Our churches are beginning Sunday morning and midweek services again.<\/p>\n

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

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

We ministered at Mahanaim, where one of our former students, Obed Robles, is the pastor. While we were there, we refrained from taking pictures of the congregations because there have been rumors and misinformation causing a little anxiety among the church people. However, everyone wears masks and there is little to no physical contact, in order to protect everyone's health.<\/p>\n

I am always amazed at all that can be accomplished when God's people utilize their born-again nature and renewed mind, even when faced with adversity. When not permitted to gather, we went online. We never stopped having services, hosting prayer meetings, feeding hungry people (which were many, due to the shutdown), or making plans to go forward.<\/p>\n

BEREA (HOLMES BIBLE COLLEGE ANNEX)<\/span><\/h2>\n

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

As many know, Berea will be housing Holmes Bible College. All work on the building came to a halt until the restrictions were lifted. Now, the walls are finally going up. Berea may have had a setback, but the work moves forward today. PTL<\/p>\n

BELIZE<\/span><\/h2>\n

We are waiting on Belize to fully open. We had a report that there was a surge of COVID infections, sparking a new wave of shutdowns. We have already begun alternative plans to get into Belize as soon as possible. Legally, of course.<\/p>\n

GUATEMALA<\/span><\/h3>\n

Guatemala is progressing even with the restrictions in place. The Guatemalan Conference purchased property, put new projects on the books, and had a growth in membership by nearly 650 people over last year.<\/p>\n

WINNING THE LOST - MINISTERIAL TRAINING - MOVING FORWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

PHYL'S WORLD<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dear friends and partners,<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Our family is doing well, and our little man, the youngest of our grandchildren, is growing. He just turned one and should be walking soon. I believe not seeing all our grandkids more often is probably the biggest sacrifice we make. Don\u2019t let Ron fool you with his rough exterior; they are close to his heart, as well to mine. Look at those eyes.<\/p>\n

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

We now are having church on Sundays with social distancing. Everyone six feet apart, no handshaking or hugs, only fist bumps.<\/p>\n

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

We are sad to have learned of the loss of several of our friends and co-workers recently. All are important, but one I would like to mention is Beatriz Benitez. Those who knew her loved and appreciated such a kind and loving soul. She will be missed.<\/p>\n

Please receive a heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all your prayers and support.<\/p>\n

PRAYER REQUESTS<\/span><\/h2>\n

1) The harvest to continue and sufficient finances<\/strong>: The harvest needs workers, and the workers need resources.<\/p>\n

2) Wisdom<\/strong><\/p>\n

3) Health<\/strong>: IPHC Missionary, Mauricio Salazar, said: \"You need good health to have vision.\" I agree, without good health (physical or spiritual), all the money in the world will do you no good, no matter how great your vision and capabilities may be.<\/p>\n

PRAYERS AND FINANCES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your prayers and financial support play a very important role in all that we do as missionaries. Praying will determine the course of action needed. Giving helps to make it happen.<\/p>\n

From our hearts to you and yours<\/em><\/span>
\nLove and Blessings Always,<\/em><\/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
