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

Blessed be the wonderful name of the Lord! Finally, after five months of prohibition to physically gather in the church, the number of covid-19 infections and deaths in Thailand started to decline, and the government began to ease the rules and restrictions by the middle of October. We are now allowed to convoke up to 50 people in the church, and we expect even better news in the coming days. On October 31, during our worship service, 22 people came forward to the altar for prayer for various needs in response to the message I delivered, \u201cWe Need Daily Bread to Live\u201d at Don Muang Church. Many are suffering because of the negative effect brought by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

On October 29, I had the opportunity to officiate a wedding at one of our churches in Bangkok. It was a blissful and blessed matrimony, especially for the newlyweds. Indeed, the ministry in Thailand relentlessly moves on. The discipleship programs through Thailand Theological Seminary (TTS) have started to conduct classes in person. The building projects at TTS in Petchabun, lodging facilities in Don Muang church and Mekong River Bible School in Mae Sai continuously progress. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n

The plans for (1) TTS graduation, (2) IPHC building dedication, and (3) the IPHC\/ACA Annual Conference in October this year are moved to April next year due to the restrictions which limit the number of people who can gather. We are expecting over 900 people (300 students to graduate and 600 guests) in attendance. We are never disheartened because we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).<\/p>\n

We would like to express our sincere thanks to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

(1) Partners and friends for your continuous prayers, kindness, generosity, and unwavering support. These produce fruitful ministries through evangelism, discipleship, and church planting to expand the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n

(2) People to People supporters for impacting the children\u2019s quality of life by growing in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His love. Presently, there are 206 children on the Child Sponsorship Program and 350 awaiting sponsorship. They come from various places from the east, west, north, and south, from the city of Bangkok up to the hills of Thailand.<\/p>\n

(3) IPHC WMM Covid Relief program for the $2,000.00 donation to Don Muang Church in Bangkok and Light House Church in Mae Sai. It touched and blessed 35 families in Don Muang by distributing relief goods and 1,000.00 Baht ($33.00) cash for each family and the relief goods for 33 families in Mae Sai.<\/p>\n

(4) Co-laborers in the vineyard in Thailand for their love and dedication to serving the Lord together with us in unity, love, and peace.<\/p>\n

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58).<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord! God answers prayer. Three pastors under our umbrella were healed from covid-19, including two children of one of the pastors. One of them was Pastor Anil Kumar, who stayed in the hospital for two months and ten days. Yet, when he was discharged from the hospital, he baptized three new believers within only a few weeks.<\/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>

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>
