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

We are thankful to God for His amazing love, grace, and that we were able to recover and be healed from Covid-19. I was hospitalized from March 19 to March 23. Afterward, I underwent a home quarantine for five days. Jiep was also hospitalized from March 20 to March 30. Afterward, she underwent a home quarantine for 10 days.<\/p>\n

I was in a very difficult situation for the first three days in the hospital, due to low electrolytes and a blood pressure disorder with low oxygen levels. It was by the power of His sustaining grace that allowed me to endure and recover. Thank God for answering the prayers of His people and allowing us to continue serving the Lord together with you. Thanks to all of our beloved brethren for their love and great concern for us.<\/p>\n

Blessed be the name of the Lord! The dedication of the IPHC Conference Hall building in Petchabun on April 5 brought joy and fulfillment to IPHC Thailand. We were honored to have the governor, vice governor, the head of the Department of Social Development and Welfare, and other government officials of the Petchabun province with us. We are grateful to Bishop Talmadge Gardner for sending Rev. Larry Meadors to officially dedicate the building on his behalf as the representative of IPHC WMM in the U.S. It was awesome! There were over 600 people who came and witnessed this great event.<\/p>\n

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

Praise the Lord! The discipleship program through the Bible School is producing more laborers in the vineyard. The second Commencement Exercises, held on April 6, was a success. There were 232 students who graduated. These degrees were composed of 12 diplomas in Christian Studies, 178 Bachelor of Christian Theology diplomas, 22 Master of Christian Ministry graduates, and 20 Doctor of Christian Ministry graduates from the six branches of Thailand Theological Seminary (TTS).<\/p>\n

\"TTS<\/a> \"Albert<\/a> \"TTS<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a joyful day of celebration, especially for the graduates and their respective families. We were utterly overwhelmed with joy to see them emotionally and spiritually uplifted. There were over 700 people who attended from various parts of Thailand. Thanks to Rev. Larry Meadors for his inspirational commencement message. Thanks to Dr. Edgar Banaga and Dr. Sabu Abraham of the IPHC in the U.S. for being with us as TTS faculty members. Finally, thanks to Dr. Randy Dela Rosa from the Philippines for being with us as well.<\/p>\n

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

The 19th IPHC\/ACA Annual Conference on April 7 and 8 inspired the 80 pastors and leaders to build up together for the expansion of His kingdom. The commissioning of three ordained ministers, seven licensed ministers, and nine mission workers will surely lead more souls to Christ. Thanks to our guest speakers: Russell Board, Edgar Banaga, and Ben West. We are thankful to God for the success of these three great events, which occurred under the leadership of our National Director, Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol, as we work together closely for His glory.<\/p>\n

The members of Thai Don Muang Church are continually growing spiritually as they keep praying and trusting in the Lord more, especially in this time of pandemic crisis. Jiep and I will be in the U.S. on May 31 for six months of furlough. We are so excited to see you all soon!<\/p>\n

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

Thank you for your continuous prayers and unwavering support. Our labor in the Lord together is not in vain. May the Lord richly and abundantly bless you all.<\/p>\n

Your Co-laborers in Christ,<\/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>

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>
