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

\"Christmas<\/a>

Christmas and New Year's greetings from Albert & Jiep<\/p><\/div>\n

The greatest news in the history of mankind that brings joy into the whole world is the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. \u201cAnd there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, \u201cDo not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord\u201d (Luke 2:8-11). Our Lord Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, and Savior is the very reason for this season. We greet you all with a \u201cMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year!<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord! On November 17 we were approved and released by IPHC-WMM in Oklahoma City to return to the field for another three year term. We have been serving the Lord together with you for over twenty years. Thank you! By the grace of God, since we arrived on June 28, 2022, we have been enjoying our time in the U.S. We had many wonderful times visiting churches, in North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, and now in California. We are excited to return to Thailand on January 24, 2023, as scheduled, and be part of the movement in carrying out the IPHC-WMM vision of Arise 2033 to plant 5,000 churches in 150 nations.<\/p>\n

Great is the Lord\u2019s faithfulness! Despite the many challenges we are facing from day to day, including the negative effect of the pandemic, the ministry in Thailand is continually bearing much fruit under the leadership of Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol as our National Director and Rev. Russell Board, our Regional Director for Continental Asia. The power of the gospel of Jesus Christ is unstoppable! Some of the latest highlights that transpired in the ministry are the following: plans are being developed to establish a seminary program in Saigon, Vietnam under the auspices of Thailand Theological Seminary (TTS); the expansion of the TTS from 6 branches to 10 in Thailand where the students pursue bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s and doctoral programs; the additional funding of the lodging facility project at Don Muang church in Bangkok to be a church-based Training Center amounting to $7,000 is coming in; the on-going construction at Mekong Bible Training Center in Mae Sai is progressing as well as the Karen Tribe church building project in Ratchaburi. We gratefully and lovingly extend our sincere thanks to all churches and individuals who made their financial contributions to make these plans and ministries possible.<\/p>\n

Remember this: \u201cWhoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work\u201d (2 Corinthian 9:6-8).<\/p>\n

Thank you for your continuous prayers, generosity, and unwavering support. The best is yet to come, especially in the coming year, 2023!<\/p>\n

God 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>

<\/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>
