SPRING GREETINGS TO ALL<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 20, Phyllis and I celebrated our 51-year wedding anniversary and 38 going on 39 years of ministry in the USA and abroad. I was told in my younger years that as you get older time goes by faster. It seems like yesterday we started out and behold, here we are.<\/p>\n

A word to the younger generation\u2014Don\u2019t get in a rush. Serve God. Grow spiritually. Enjoy the journey. Make good decisions. Live well. You will have few if any regrets\u2026Trust Him in all things!<\/p>\n

If asked, \u201cWhat do you miss the most?\u201d The easy answer is family, kids, and grandkids. It is a blessing to me when our family is blessed.<\/p>\n

Someone once asked (sarcastically), \u201cWhat do pastors do?\u201d Thinking ministers don\u2019t do much. I can\u2019t speak on behalf of all ministers, but we will share a little about what is going on in the field.<\/p>\n

\"Mexico\"<\/a>Mexico<\/b><\/p>\n

From March 28 through 30, the conference located on the West Coast (IPAR) gathered for their annual meeting and elections. This year we will have elections in two conferences for Mexico.<\/p>\n

Cesar Villanueva was elected as Conference Superintendent. This will be his second term. The IPAR Conference is expanding into other areas, training ministers, and planting churches.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Berea<\/a><\/strong>Berea Building Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our part has been completed. A big thank you to all those who have helped.<\/p>\n

The Antioch Grant provided played a big part in helping us reach this goal. Giving to the Go-Offering does make a difference.<\/p>\n

CURSUM Advanced Ministerial Training<\/strong><\/p>\n

At present, for this one area alone, there are 350 students enrolled. Training is essential to win and maintain a harvest. We had eight graduates who finished their studies for the advanced program.<\/p>\n

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

\"Independence<\/a>Belize<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last year, we have focused on finishing some building projects. By the year\u2019s end, if nothing changes, we will complete three building projects, and possibly a fourth if we can get it lined up properly. We are finishing up the Independence Church with the Armenia Church roof going up next.<\/p>\n

We will now begin to focus on the campgrounds. The Lord willing, the roof for the kitchen will begin as soon as we can put a group together. Our goal is to begin to use the grounds for its intended purpose\u2014A church plant, training facility, and Conference Headquarters. By His grace and the dedication of God\u2019s people, it will become a reality. Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

\"Guatemala<\/a>Guatemala<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Guatemala Conference has nine new church plants for 2024 in progress. We can never express sufficiently the importance of reaching out to new areas, reaching unreached people, and planting new churches. That is what the church world should stay focused on.<\/p>\n

PHYL'S WORLD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Friends, we just celebrated our 51st wedding anniversary. Wow, it seems as though we just got started.<\/p>\n

Many may remember our daughter Amber. She\u2019s married, has two of the cutest boys ever, and will graduate in May from Oral Roberts University with a master\u2019s degree. She is still involved in ministry and missions. She was a blessing when she worked with us, and continues to be a blessing to others.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s blessings, provision, and family really are the most important things in life. God is good, all the time.<\/p>\n

Your prayers and financial support are greatly appreciated. You are loved.<\/p>\n

Love and Blessings, <\/em>Phyllis<\/em><\/p>\n

IN CLOSING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our calendar is filling up as usual. I always look forward to sharing the Word. We want to see an increase in the harvest for the Gulf Coast Region. To help facilitate that, we need faithful, God-called, God-loving, and God-honoring men and women. We invite you to join us in prayer for laborers, both at home and abroad.<\/p>\n

Your prayers and financial support help us stay on the field to do our part. You count and you are important. Thank you!<\/p>\n

As we close out this newsletter, we ask you to remember us in prayer. This year we will cover a lot of ground, and next year is already filling up.<\/p>\n

We are opening new ground in an area with the Huichol indigenous people. We will give an update on this in our next newsletter. To let you know, we have a pastor, building, and congregation all up and running. Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

We do send out an update every two months by way of the Internet. If you would like to receive the updates, send me a text with your email addresses, or contact us via email, and we will put you on the list.<\/p>\n

Thanks and Blessings,<\/strong><\/em><\/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
