James 5:16b
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
Sherri and I are blessed by your prayers, because they do have great power and produce wonderful results. We are grateful when you open our emails, read through them, and faithfully intercede with prayer. We know you are busy and have many things vying for your attention. So it humbles us to know that we are in your prayers.
A HUGE praise!
The new sanctuary building at Fire of Glory Church is near completion. Electricians are doing their thing and the Soft Opening service will be on Sunday, June 30. We will wait for another few months to have the Grand Opening celebration. We are thankful to all who generously donated to make this happen and to all who faithfully prayed for this day.
Here are 2 pictures from two and three weeks ago.
Elder Rang is home with the Lord
Elder Rang of House of Immanuel Church in Buriram province passed away a three weeks ago. We praise the Lord he has a new body and is no longer suffering. Pastor Somsri (Mentoring Pastor for the Pioneer Pastor Program and Pastor of Fire of Glory Church) conducted Elder Rang's funeral, which was a four day event (funerals in Thailand typically go for several days). Rang's wife, Elder Mui and her family send their appreciation to all who prayed for her husband and wants everyone to know that four people who attended the funeral received Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Mui said that Rang was very happy in Heaven knowing that there are now new believers in Jesus Christ. God is amazing! Our Lord brings great blessings out of difficult times. God is good!

Another blessing that happened from the passing of Elder Rang is that his son, Wood, has returned to Buriram to take care of his mother and to be a leader at the House of Immanuel Church. Wood has worked with us for many years as a highly talented construction foreman. And now he will be serving as a Pioneer Pastor. Please pray for Wood as he and his family works through their grief while also taking on new responsibilities at the church.

Introducing Doung, our newest staff member
 |
| Pastor Warin with her husband Doung, our Techie |
The picture above is typical with Doung in the background. Doung is very introverted and his wife Pastor Warin is one of the most extroverted people we know. And they make a great team. Doung is on board with our team now as our Tech Specialist. Doung will be the webmaster for several websites for TMM ministries in Thailand, including the Abundant Life Program and Global Theological Institute. Doung will also be taking and editing videos for both of those ministries, which requires him to travel frequently.
Doung is central to propel both of these TMM ministries into the future.
Our goal with the Abundant Life Savings Group program is to have all training sessions and messages on video that can be accessed by a website and by a phone app.
And our goal with Global Theological Institute is to have all courses for all degree programs become fully digital by 2013, including videos of lectures and training sessions for every course.
We are very excited about this new direction and we and Doung need prayer as we go to uncharted territory in our ministries.
May the Lord Bless You Greatly!
