Dear Partners and Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blessed be the name of the Lord! We are pleased and honored to be one of the recipients of the 2021 Project Antioch Grants. Our sincere thanks to Bishop Talmadge Gardner and the WMM Council for awarding Thailand Theological Seminary\u2019s ongoing building project (Project Account #74520P) the additional $50,000 grant. It was very much needed for the completion of its construction by August this year as scheduled. This building will be the venue for the graduation of about 300 TTS students in October 2021. It has a 1,000 person seating capacity. We also thank each of the donors and Dr. Terry Tramel and his staff for being an instrument to this endeavor through the \"GO Offering.\"<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord! The ongoing building project at Mekong Bible Training Center (Project Account #74015P) in Mae Sai is continually progressing under the supervision of Rev. Russell Board and Pastor Chi Chang (Director of Mekong Bible Training Center), with the help of Doug and Jill Nelson. Thanks to Valley Harvest Ministries in Dublin, Virginia, for their kindness, generous giving, and unwavering support for many years in keeping the project going until its completion and effectively training workers from the Indo-China area. Mae Sai is strategically located in the far north of Thailand near the Myanmar and Laos borders.<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord! The vision of Pantamit Don Muang Church in Bangkok to be a church based training center is beginning to shine as the ongoing project on the fourth floor of the building progresses. This floor will be a lodging facility to accommodate 42 people with two large rooms (one room for 20 men and the other is for 20 women) and a room for a guest speaker. There will be a small lobby and bathrooms for men and women. Besides being a church venue, the building is currently being used to train small groups of workers who spend nights on the floor of the sanctuary and other available rooms. The initial funding of this project comes from the church members, and we believe others will help us to keep the construction going until it is finished. If you feel led by the Lord to be part of this endeavor, kindly send your donation to IPHC-WMM Oklahoma City under Project Account #74505P. Please join us in prayer for the additional funds of $30,000 to complete it.<\/p>\n

Thailand has declared a state of emergency until the end of July due to the surge of infected cases of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are not allowed to gather nor have our church activities. We have been holding our worship services, Bible studies, and prayer meetings online for these past two months. The negative effect of this pandemic economically causes many people, including our leaders and IPHC Thailand\/ACA members, to suffer financially. They could hardly pay their bills. In our Don Muang Church, we are trying to help one another, even in small ways, just to encourage one another. If you would like to be an instrument of His blessings to help your brethren in need here in Thailand, kindly send your donation to IPHC WMM Albert & Jiep Gonzales Ministry Account #20201M. Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n

Queridos y queridos socios y amigos: <\/p>

Estamos muy agradecidos con Dios por permitirnos continuar sirvi\u00e9ndole con usted, nuestros fieles socios y amigos de los Estados Unidos. Tambi\u00e9n estamos agradecidos al Reverendo Russell Board y al Director Nacional Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol. Ahora tenemos m\u00e1s de 19 a\u00f1os en el campo, y nos sentimos honrados de poder ver el poderoso movimiento de Dios al llevar la vida de las personas de la oscuridad a una luz maravillosa. Por su gracia y poder, el n\u00famero de iglesias aument\u00f3 a 81 de 75 en 2018, con cerca de 5,000 miembros de 4,500 a fines de diciembre de 2019. <\/p>

El programa de discipulado, a trav\u00e9s del Seminario Teol\u00f3gico de Tailandia (TTS) y el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n B\u00edblica del Mekong (MBTC), incluye las Conferencias Anuales de IPHC \/ ACA y una variedad de capacitaciones impartidas por iglesias individuales para equipar a los santos. Este programa est\u00e1 dando muchos frutos en la expansi\u00f3n del reino de Dios en Tailandia y en los pa\u00edses vecinos. Hubo siete graduados en MBTC en Mae Sai el 1 de febrero de 2020, para el programa de dos a\u00f1os. Esperamos que un total de 230 estudiantes en TTS se grad\u00faen (diplomas, licenciaturas, maestr\u00edas y grados dcotroales en el ministerio) en noviembre de este a\u00f1o. La construcci\u00f3n del edificio MBTC est\u00e1 progresando, y la construcci\u00f3n principal del edificio TTS en Petchabun est\u00e1 a punto de comenzar. \u00a1Gracias, IPHC WMM, socios y amigos, por sus continuas oraciones y apoyo inquebrantable! <\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

\u00a1Alabado sea el Se\u00f1or! La celebraci\u00f3n del 18 aniversario de la Iglesia Pantamit Don Muang (la primera iglesia de IPHC en Tailandia) el 19 de enero de 2020, fue incre\u00edble. Asistieron m\u00e1s de 120 personas en presencia de Dios y disfrutamos de la celebraci\u00f3n de adoraci\u00f3n en la ma\u00f1ana. Tuvimos un gran almuerzo juntos y lo seguimos con un alegre momento de comuni\u00f3n por la tarde. Agradecemos a Dios por bendecir continuamente los ministerios de nuestros ni\u00f1os, j\u00f3venes, hombres y mujeres. Tambi\u00e9n le agradecemos por enviarnos l\u00edderes y trabajadores fieles para ayudarnos a cumplir el ministerio que el Se\u00f1or nos ha confiado que hagamos como pastor de la iglesia y como misioneros junto con Jiep. Agradecemos a Dios por bendecir el a\u00f1o 2019, y creemos que lo mejor est\u00e1 por venir este a\u00f1o. <\/p>

Pasamos un tiempo maravilloso celebrando la Navidad en nuestra iglesia en Don Muang el 22 de diciembre de 2019, la Iglesia Khon Suey con la tribu Akha en Chiang Rai el 31 de diciembre, y en la casa del Dr. Wallapa con pastores y l\u00edderes de la ACA el 10 de enero de 2020. Est\u00e1bamos abrumados de alegr\u00eda al ver la gloria de Dios manifestada en medio de nosotros. \u00a1Aleluya! De hecho, \u00e9l es la \u00fanica raz\u00f3n de este gran evento. <\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Nuestro equipo de 20 personas de Bangkok tuvo el honor de interpretar dos bailes y cuatro canciones con una multitud de m\u00e1s de 1,000 personas como p\u00fablico, incluidos el gobernador, el vicegobernador y el director del Departamento de Desarrollo Social y Bienestar durante la celebraci\u00f3n del "Festival del Tamarindo". en la provincia de Petchabun el 26 de enero. Fue una actuaci\u00f3n tan excelente que el gobernador y otros funcionarios del gobierno subieron al escenario despu\u00e9s y mostraron un gran aprecio por nuestra presencia y plena cooperaci\u00f3n con el programa gubernamental en el desarrollo comunitario. Agradecemos a Dios por tener una relaci\u00f3n armoniosa con el gobierno tailand\u00e9s, lo que nos ayuda a expandir el reino de Dios en Tailandia de manera legal y efectiva. <\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Que el Se\u00f1or los bendiga rica y abundantemente a todos. <\/p>
