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

We are grateful to God for continuously blessing the ministry in Thailand through your faithful partnership as we spread the gospel of Christ and make disciples in this predominantly Buddhist nation. We want to highlight some of the great things the Lord has done through IPHC Thailand\/ACA since our last Newsletter in October 2025.<\/p>\n

National Director Rev. Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol reported the number of churches increased in 2025 from 156 to 204, and the number of members increased from 8,675 to 14,135. To God be the glory! Thank God for the new churches planted and for those affiliated with IPHC\/ACA.<\/p>\n

We had a joyful Christmas Celebration at Pantamit Don Muang Church in Bangkok on Dec. 21. We had a great Christmas service in the morning, and the variety of food served for lunch was bountiful. The celebration continued until the afternoon with Christmas presentations from the children, youth, men\u2019s, and women\u2019s groups. The games, prizes, and gift exchanges made it more fun, meaningful, and blessed.<\/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>

<\/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>
