HELLANDS IN HOLLAND<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Greetings from Holland<\/strong><\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n

Our goal in life is to \u201cmake God\u2019s love tangible.\u201d Whether that be at our local churches, in prison, in Amsterdam\u2019s Red-Light District or through our Bible School (RUAH School of Prophecy), we continue to see lives changed by His tangible love. One example is our trainer, Roelie.<\/p>\n

As a child, Roelie struggled to learn to read, write, and speak. Her speech impediment led to ridicule and harsh words from teachers and peers. She remembers hearing things like: \u201cYou're stupid, and you'll never work or be successful\u201d, \u201cYou will always have a speech impediment and mental problems\u201d, \u201cYou are like a blind person who will never fly\u201d.<\/p>\n

She describes her school days as traumatic. She remembers the humiliation of having to sit at the front of the class and the relentless bullying by her teacher. Roelie was convinced that she was a failure and would never be good enough. As soon as she became an adult, she began traveling to escape home. Shame, guilt, and fear paralyzed her. The words spoken to her were like curses or ropes pulling her into a dark hole.<\/p>\n

On several occasions, Roelie was also the victim of inappropriate touching by men. She was completely broken and felt shattered when a man abused her during a trip to Brazil. When she returned home, her therapist said she would help her, but that she would never again be the carefree, young woman she used to be.<\/p>\n

Roelie had heard about people talking to God and God speaking to them. She began praying and keeping a journal, and God spoke to her through dreams and visions. She was afraid she was going crazy. Then she heard about the RUAH School of Prophecy.<\/p>\n

She enrolled in our school and was overwhelmed by the love of God that she began to experience. At first, she couldn't comprehend it. Over time, God's love flooded her heart and healed her. She was baptized in water and experienced healing, deliverance, and freedom from demonic oppression and many traumatic experiences.<\/p>\n

ministry trips to Africa.<\/p><\/div>\n

One evening, she asked for prayer so that she could experience new adventures in her life. One of the trainers said, \u201cI'm not going to pray for that. You're coming with us on a trip to Africa.\u201d Since then, she has been on five ministry trips to Africa.<\/p>\n

When Roelie experienced the love of God, it changed her and healed her. It transformed her and brought her from fear and paralysis to living in FREEDOM!<\/p>\n

We are so thankful to God and to so many people who support us as we \u201cmake God\u2019s love tangible.\u201d Our ministry continues to spread across the globe, and in the coming months, our Bible School will change its name to RUAH Bible Training Center. In 2025 alone, we trained over 4,000+ people across South America, North America, and Europe. Our vision is to raise up ministry teams in every state and region of the world \u2014 ministry teams with people like Roelie who have experienced God\u2019s tangible love in a way that has transformed them, and who are now taking His love around the world. Thank you for being a part!<\/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
