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

Greetings in the precious name of Jesus! We are overwhelmed with joy to see the amazing grace and power of God continuously flowing amidst the ministry work in Thailand. Your faithfulness in serving the Lord with us has significantly affected the fruitfulness in carrying out the Great Commission. People are getting saved, new churches are being added, prayers are being answered, our discipleship programs keep progressing, and the provisions for the new building projects are coming in despite the many challenges we face from day to day. Thank you to all our partners and friends! Indeed, God is faithful, and He is in control.<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord! The ongoing building projects for Hope Center Thailand for women in Petchabun and the Motana Church-Based Training Center in Ratchaburi are going well. Both projects are expected to be completed in November of this current year. Hallelujah! Thank you to IPHC WMM Antioch Grants and Hope Center Ministries USA for funding these projects. In honor of Mr. Tim Case, the Hope Center Thailand will be named after him, while the Motana Church-Based Training Center will be named after the late, Rev. Douglas Bartlett. We also wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to Tim Case International Ministries for donating $10,000 for church planting and $5,000 for motorcycles. We used these funds to help three churches that needed additional funding to complete the projects. We also donated four motorcycles to Pastors under our umbrella. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!<\/p>\n

Remember this: Whoever 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 (2 Corinthians 9:6-7).<\/p>\n

The opening and dedication of six new churches in the North last March were very encouraging. There were five Akha tribe churches and one Lahu tribe church. Also in the North, the old Khun Suey Akha church building, located up in the mountain of Chiang Rai, was demolished last 2023. They constructed a new, bigger building that can accommodate 150 people. This was completed in March 2024. Praise the Lord! New believers are being added to the body of Christ in the village.<\/p>\n

Thanks be to God for the success of the Great Commission Equipping Conference on May 27-29 at Thailand Theological Seminary (TTS) in Petchabun. This event was spearheaded by Rev. Dr. James Eby with Rev. Kenneth Womack and Rev. Daniel Broadley. There were about 70 people who attended the conference. Most were TTS students, with some pastors and leaders from different churches present. We were challenged to go and make disciples to all nations, kindred, people, and tongues. We are grateful to our National Director, Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol and Rev. Russell Board for their leadership in making it possible.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your continuous prayers and unwavering support.<\/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>
