| But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. II Corinthians 4:3-4 Dear Loved Ones In Christ, January/February 2010 First and foremost we wanted to wish you and your families a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2009 has come and gone now. We rejoice to tell you in the last two months we had a 60 year old woman from our Leper Church down South get Saved! Please pray for her. The Lord Blessed us and our Ministry in many ways throughout the year 2009. Though it is hard to believe that the year went by so fast. We had many goals for 2009 some were met; others are still in the process. But we know everything is in the Lords perfect timing, not our own. Before we share some of our goals for 2010 we wanted to first reflect back on 2009 and see how the Lord moved and Blessed. Looking Back at 2009 2009 was a good year. We had a total of 22 people make a profession of faith this year. We’ve seen many lives changed. We saw souls saved and following the Lord. We also saw people growing more in the Lord. We visited some of our Churches around Thailand. Twice Born Baptist Church celebrated 3 years as a Church as well as Bright Light Baptist Church. Blessed Hope Baptist Church with the Lepers continues to grow and all are doing well. We Praise the Lord for all of our Churches here. Twice Born Baptist Church also had Vacation Bible School, which was a Blessed time. And we praise the Lord 2 precious souls were saved during this time. Twice Born Baptist Church also had its 2nd Easter Sunrise Service. The Boys were forced to go back to government schools, but we are pleased that even in this situation they continue to be strong and share there faith. Every week they are asking for more Bible tracks to pass out in the schools. They can still do something amazing and we Pray the Lord will use them to see there friends, class mates, and teachers saved. The Bible Students and Correspondence Course continues to grow and we currently have 1,214 people studying through this. We Praise the Lord for this Ministry because without it we would not be able to reach all the people we do with the gospel. 2009, was also a time where we seen loved ones and friends go home to be with the Lord. Umphai a dear friend and sister. Woot Thai the one handicapped we asked Prayer for last month also went home to be with the Lord. They will be greatly missed, but we know that they would not want to come back even if they could. Bright Light Baptist Church had its 3rd Christmas program. This was a wonderful time. Over 50 people came out for this. Bro. Chalome preached. Please continue to pray for this Church and the Pastor that the Lord will Bless them for there hard work and faithfulness. Twice Born Baptist Church also had its 3rd Christmas program. There were over 80 people who came out for this. As well, Blessed Hope Baptist Church had its Christmas program with the Lepers. This was a wonderful time. You always see how blessed we are when you see the Lepers, having no feet, hands, fingers, some no legs, but they are so faithful and loving. Always smiling and never complaining. They truly are a blessing and we Thank God for them. We celebrated Christmas with the handicapped and boys. We had a great morning together and then enjoyed a Christmas Lunch. The boys are doing well. David celebrated his 6th Birthday on January 1st. Knowing this, we know it is now much harder for him to be adopted because of his age. We ask you to please continue to pray for him. Pray that the Lord will touch a family’s heart to adopt him. He is such a loving child. Again, if you are interested in adopting David please contact us by E- Mail at: iveys4jesus@yahoo.com Looking to the New Year 2010! We are really looking forward to what the Lord is going to do in 2010. Please pray for us as we plan and get things in order for this year. We have been invited to go to a meeting with the King’s Foundation for 50 years of work with the Lepers. They invited us because of the work we do with the lepers. It is scheduled for February. Pray for this. Also, we are in the process of renewing our yearly visa. Please pray for this that all will go well. We also had our Annual 5 year meeting with the Board of our Foundation. Pray for that to be approved by the government. We Love you all and are Praying for you. Thank you for your Love, Prayers, E-Mails, Support, and encouragement. We really appreciate you all. Until next time…. God Bless!! Love In Christ, Mike & Heather Ivey |
