GREETINGS EVERYONE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As always, we like to begin our newsletters by expressing our appreciation for your prayers, support, and participation in the ongoing harvest we are experiencing in the Gulf Coast Region.<\/p>\n

Someone may ask, \u201cAre there not problems?\u201d Yes! However, the battle we fight is for the souls of men, women, families, and nations. Opposition is to be expected. We rejoice in the fact that Jesus lives, He is alive and well, and He is engaged in the harvest, as we should be as His representatives. He lives! Hallelujah!<\/p>\n

\"IPHC<\/a>

IPHC Mexico\u2019s 2026 conference leadership planning meeting.<\/p><\/div>\n

We recently held a ministerial and planning meeting to discuss 2026 events. Conference leadership began by discussing the need for order in everything that we do. At the meeting\u2019s conclusion, I was asked to speak. I shared that God is the God of order. He dislikes disorder. I gave three challenges: 1. Put yourself in order, 2. Put your house in order, and 3. Put your church in order. God\u2019s order will produce good results. Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

ADVANCE MINISTERIAL TRAINING<\/strong>
\nEducation and motivation play a very important role in all we do as ministers. We have several avenues in which we aim to reach the goal of producing a well-rounded, balanced minister and disciple. Advance Ministerial Training is an intense, five-day program of meetings that takes place every six months.<\/p>\n

The churches engaged in this training are in a growth pattern. Our focus is Acts 1:8, which says, \u201c\u2026ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.\u201d That is the goal!<\/p>\n

HOLMES \/ MINISTERIAL ETHICS<\/strong>
\nOur most recent class at Holmes Bible College was on Ministerial Ethics. The main theme for the class was that one\u2019s gifting may open the door to their purpose, but one's integrity will help keep them there. We paired that with the importance of staying in one\u2019s lane and not intruding into others' ministries, causing unnecessary pain and confusion. We aim to teach our students that everything in God\u2019s creation functions according to its order. When we get out of order, there will be disorder. If you can\u2019t be a blessing, don\u2019t become a burden.<\/p>\n

SAN FELIPE BUILDING COMPLETE<\/strong>
\nSan Felipe is located on the Sea of Cortez. The pastors there are former students of ours. Following the COVID shutdown, after years of operating out of a rented building, the owner decided to open a business. The church had to find a new place to gather. Their newly completed church building has become a blessing to them.<\/p>\n

The completed building now stands as a testament of unity. The property was purchased by the church with the conference's help. World Missions provided the funds for the building materials. Construction was completed by the church's members. We praise the Lord that this congregation now occupies its own building. We also praise the Lord for the conference, the church, and World Missions working together. God\u2019s goodness in action produced the desired results. It is amazing what can be accomplished when everyone works together.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>

The San Felipe congregation gathered in their newly completed building.<\/p><\/div>\n

Phyllis and I recently visited the church for Sunday Service. Since San Felipe has a lot of tourists, many locals work on the weekends, making their Wednesday gathering larger than Sunday\u2019s. Time permitting, we will be going back from time to time to hold meetings on Wednesdays for married couples. We are also in talks with the leaders about starting a School of Ministry in that area.<\/p>\n

The church is also sending out a pastor and his wife (also one of our former students) to plant a work in the state of Sinaloa. Being an American, it is dangerous for me to go there. If I do, I must be out of the area before sundown. We have certainly been there and done that. Thankfully, contacts have been made, they have access to a building, and they are moving forward.<\/p>\n

MEXICALI CELL GROUP GROWTH AND OUTREACH<\/strong>
\nThe cell group we attend and minister to when available has grown! On the night we spoke, the group was divided for the third time to start another cell group. Sheep produce sheep. This group continues to win the lost, make disciples, and channel them into the church for pastoral care and ongoing discipleship.<\/p>\n

BELIZE<\/strong>
\nSeveral building projects were completed in 2025, including: the Armenia auditorium, Teakettle bathrooms, Crique Sarco auditorium, and the Bella Vista roof and auditorium expansion (which is still in progress).<\/p>\n

This year, we are working with the leadership to hold a Belize Conference meeting for all our pastors and laypeople. We were in Belize a few months back and the ministry was non-stop.
\nAs mentioned in the last newsletter, Advantage Bible College was started last year. WMM missionary Delaine Dimsdale is the school's director. The goal is to have all our ministers trained, educated, and motivated. The process has begun. Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

GUATEMALA<\/strong>
\nI will be in Guatemala February 20-21 for the annual meeting. This year, we invited Evangelism USA\u2019s Hispanic Ministries Director, Luis Avila. Luis and his family moved from Costa Rica to Guatemala, where they started several churches. From the churches Luis and his family planted, along with other missionaries who came later, the Guatemala Conference was born. We want to give honor to whom honor is due.<\/p>\n

MAZATENANGO<\/strong>
\nThanks to a generous donor, we were able to send funds to the Mazatenango building project, which will soon be completed. Guatemala is growing. Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

IN CLOSING<\/strong>
\nThere is so much going on, we can\u2019t possibly get it all down in one newsletter. Suffice to say, we love what we do. The churches we are engaged in are in a growth pattern. Our major focus is Acts: 1:8, \u201cBut ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.\u201d Winning the lost is always a plus!<\/p>\n

This October, we will be visiting the United States for furlough. We are looking forward to returning to the USA, visiting our churches, and seeing our partners.<\/p>\n

We will also be at General Conference, as always. We hope to see many of you there. We are living in fast-changing times. God is good, and His will is worth the price we must pay to find it. In Him we live, move, and have our being.<\/p>\n

PHYL's WORLD:<\/strong>
\nOur granddaughter, Sydney (Ron calls her \u201cThe Syd\u201d), got married in October. We were blessed to be with family for this special event.<\/p>\n

This year, we were able to spend a little time with family for the holidays. Last year, Ron was sick, so we could not see the grandkids. Sometimes life throws you a curveball.<\/p>\n

We praise God for all His many blessings and look forward to that which is before us to accomplish. Ron and I love and appreciate each one of you. As we work together to fulfill the Great Commission, may our Savior richly bless and keep you in the center of His will and purpose.<\/p>\n

We are doing well. We are thankful for the Lord\u2019s many blessings. Thank you, dear partners, for your prayers and support. Ron and I love and appreciate you.<\/p>\n

Sincerely, Phyllis<\/p>\n

Blessings,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/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.
