Greetings!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are overwhelmingly thankful to God for 2024. It was a very blissful year for us. Comparative to 2023, we saw tremendous growth in the ministry, in winning souls for Jesus, in church planting, making disciples, and in church growth. We are now in the process of collecting 2024 church statistical data and will give the report as soon as the information becomes available. Over the past year, we were encouraged and tremendously blessed by your unswerving faithfulness in serving the Lord with us. Thank you! We love you and thank God whenever we remember you. One of the reasons for the continuous fruitfulness of the ministry is the selfless and unwavering support of IPHC WMM, including those gifted anointed trainers and leaders and their teams from various ministries under our organization. It\u2019s the Lord who brought us all together to expand His kingdom in this predominantly Buddhist nation of Thailand.<\/p>\n

As 2024 was ending\u2014September to December\u2014significant events occurred that impacted the ministry to prosper beyond our imagination. To God be the glory! Indeed, He is the one who made the increase. As we are eternally grateful, we would like to take this opportunity to thank those who came to Thailand for all their kindness, personal sacrifices, and tireless efforts to minister to the Thai people and other ethnic groups as well. In this extension of special thanksgiving, we would like to mention the following: The Medical and Children Ministry Teams led by Kelly Bird and Dr. James Eby and his team; the Awakening Team led by Rev. Madeline Nix; and Anne and Matt Barlett, Bishop Doug and Susan Beacham, Bishop Talmadge Gardner, Rev. Russell Board, Dr. Sabu Abraham and Dr. Edgar Banaga. Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol and I are humbly honored and delighted to be of service to them in fulfilling their respective missions here in Thailand. Their valuable presence led to the success of the medical and children ministry outreaches, the 21st IPHC\/ACA Conference 2024, the Youth Camp, the 3rd Commencement Exercises of Thailand Theological Seminary (368 students graduated from 9 branches), the Hope Center Ministries for Women Building Dedication, the Banklor Trinity Church Dedication, the Mottana Church Based Training Center Dedication, and the groundbreaking ceremony of Hope Center Ministries for Men.<\/p>\n

Time passes by very quickly. As we step forward in faith for the year 2025, we believe that the ministry will continuously bear much fruit and certainly touch many lives for Jesus with the help of the Almighty God. Your continuous prayers and steady support are highly valued and appreciated. This will eventually take us to the next level of fruitful ministry. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n

But as it is written: \u201cEye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.\u201d (1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV)<\/p>\n

May the Lord lead us to see what He wants us to see, hear what He wants us to hear, and do what He wants us to do to fulfill the things He has prepared for us as we humble ourselves and obey Him.<\/p>\n

Thank you and God bless us all even more.<\/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>
