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

May the steadfast love and mercy of God continue to touch people's lives and produce fruitful ministry with IPHC Thailand as we carry out the Great Commission in this predominantly Buddhist nation, in line with the vision ARISE 2033.<\/p>\n

Recently, two people received the Lord Jesus Christ, and two new believers were baptized at Don Muang Church in Bangkok. Thank God for the continuous growth of believers in the church, some of whom have become Pastors, leaders, and servants of the church. In the early years of this church's ministry, two churches were planted: the Thai Church and the Akha Tribe Church in the North. Praise the Lord! The Akha Tribe church, \u201cKhon Suey Church,\u201d had demolished the church\u2019s old building and built a new, bigger, and better one to accommodate more than a hundred members. The Thai church \u201cLighthouse Church,\u201d on the other hand, has a growing number of members and has built its own church building. Moreover, the ministry expanded under Pastor Chi Chang to Myanmar, near the Thailand border, and established seven churches under our organization. We feel privileged to support the son of our leader in Myanmar, \u201cPastor Chi Chart,\u201d in his enrollment and study in the Bible School. The son, \u201cKyardaw Shar,\u201d will be graduating by March 2027 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Ministerial Studies. The Lord is using him mightily in his dad\u2019s ministry to expand the kingdom of God in their community and surrounding villages. Indeed, he will be one of the future leaders of this new generation. The opening of a new church in Mai Chan, Chiang Rai, in northern Thailand, on May 14 last year brought more encouragement to our church-planting movement. God is good! Please join us in prayer for more souls to be saved, more workers in the vineyard, more churches to be planted, and more disciples of Jesus Christ to be made.<\/p>\n

The humanitarian services our group uses to reach out to the community for Jesus include the Hands of Hope Foundation, People to People Ministries, Hope Center Ministries, and the upcoming ministry project, \u201cChildren\u2019s Home\u201d. Thanks to all People-to-People faithful supporters. Currently, 17 residents are undergoing rehabilitation at our Hope Center facilities in Phetchabun, and we are tremendously encouraged and blessed to see their behavior and attitudes improving. This transformation in their lives must be brought by the power of the presented gospel and the love of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Another grand event was the opening of the Cultural and Skill Development at Mottana Church in Ratchaburi on June 14. It was a huge success! The special guests were the government officials from the Ratchaburi District. Thank God for Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol and Rev. Russell Board for their outstanding leadership to keep the ministry growing.<\/p>\n

Your faithfulness as partners in the gospel of Christ has greatly impacted the fruitfulness of the ministry here in Thailand. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.<\/p>\n

God bless you all,<\/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>
