BLESSINGS TO ALL<\/span><\/h2>\n

As the year is moving along, the ministerial pace is picking up. Little by little, the Gulf Coast Region (Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala) is opening. We are now able to hold service with a few restrictions.<\/p>\n

2021 AGENDA<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our calendar is filling up rapidly here on the field. Without exception, we have seen salvations, recommitments, and church growth within the churches that we have been privileged to minister in since their opening.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS WORKING<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prayer and persistence are working. Our churches have joined a massive prayer initiative. Pastors from all corners are participating. When services were not allowed inside, we went outside, stayed in our cars, and participated in breaking the bread of life together. PTL<\/p>\n

THE GREAT COMMISSION - HIS VISION - OUR MISSION<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jesus has given us His vision through the entire chapter of Acts 1, but particularly in verse 8. If your mission is His vision, then reaching the lost becomes your focus.<\/p>\n

GULF COAST REGION DATA FOR 2021<\/span><\/h2>\n

I thought some might be interested in a few numbers and reporting.<\/p>\n

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

Conferences<\/strong> - 3; Churches<\/strong> - 215; Members<\/strong> - 18,645<\/p>\n

CRISTIANA RENUEVO HIGHLIGHT<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is one of the works we help with and ministered in recently. Pastor Victor Tello and his wife, Gaby, under the supervision of their conference leadership, started this church on our last tour. Cristiana Renuevo is not the largest church we have, but it is one of our fastest-growing churches. We ministered on March 28, and we will be back later in the year to minister again. Many responded to the altar call. The building was full, and an overflow crowd had to sit outside. Plans have been made to knock down the back wall and enclose the outside extension, expanding the seating capacity. It's a good problem to have. The church has in the neighborhood of 225 attendees.

BELIZE - THE MISSION - NEW WORKS NEW CONVERTS<\/span><\/h2>\n

Conferences<\/strong> - 1; Churches<\/strong> - 39; Members<\/strong> 6,000<\/p>\n

Belize has a third-world economy, with many living in poverty. Because of its location and a lack of healthcare, the government shutdown has been long, and travel has been prohibited. In the Gulf Coast Region, Belize probably faced, and still is facing, stricter restrictions. As of this newsletter, we are still waiting to get on the ground as soon as possible. However, in the meantime, The Gulf Coast Region has purchased property to put a resource center in the middle of 13 villages. We are excited!<\/p>\n

GUATEMALA - KINGDOM EXPANSION<\/span><\/h2>\n

Conferences<\/strong> - 1; Churches<\/strong> - 38; Members<\/strong> - 2,828<\/p>\n

Even through being hit with a hurricane, the pandemic, restrictions, and protests, the churches grew in membership by 662 new converts from last year. We appreciate our leadership's commitment to the mission.<\/p>\n

GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lend A Hand Ministries has been lending a helping hand in Guatemala for years. Recently, they helped the Guatemala Conference purchase property to house a new church. We have new births and new churches. PTL<\/p>\n

PHYL'S WORLD - GREETINGS TO ALL<\/span><\/h2>\n

My, how time flies. On March 20, Ron and I celebrated our 48th anniversary. I am so thankful for my dear husband and best friend. Wow, after 48 years, four children, and four grandchildren, we can truly say; we are happy and blessed. After all, the greatest happiness is to love and be loved.<\/p>\n

On the field, the restrictions are lifting, and our churches are beginning to open. We are looking forward to the great things God will do. \"Be of good courage and He shall strengthen your hearts, all ye that hope in the Lord\" (Psalms 31:24).<\/p>\n

Thank you for all your prayers and support. Ron and I love and appreciate you all.<\/p>\n

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

Pray for...<\/strong><\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> Sufficient finances for the harvest to continue. The harvest needs workers. Workers need resources.<\/p>\n

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

3)<\/strong> Health and safety<\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> Favor<\/p>\n

PRAYERS AND FINANCES<\/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 financially will 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
