Things
are still going great here at Prakhonchai Church. God is moving and
people are coming to Jesus every month, and are being delivered and
healed. That means that "Jesus is in the house." Worship is absolutely
awesome every week. God's anointing and presence is so strong, it seems
like we will just go on to Heaven on some Sundays.
We had a
great graduation service and celebration in Khon Kaen last month.
There were 34 graduates from two schools that we have taught in over
the last year. It was a great privilege to be able to attend the
graduation and have a part in praying for the students and ministering
to them. God moved in the morning as we prayed, prophesied and
ministered to the students. It was such a pleasure to watch them all
receive their diplomas in the afternoon in a great graduation service.
The
construction of the radio station is in its final stages. We
purchased the antenna October 4th, and hopefully the antenna and the
transmitter will be installed shortly. The building is almost finished.
We thank God for those who have donated to this project, they have all
been such a blessing! I know God is going to bless you with many
returns. We are praying for many souls to come to Jesus through this
radio station. We still need about $3-5,000 dollars to finish the
project so keep it in prayer.
This year Annie and I have had the
privilege to minister to many nations. From teaching in the Bible
School in North Thailand, where we ministered to students from Burma,
Laos, China and Thailand, then on to Laos, and Nepal, and then on to
Vietnam. This month we will make another trip to Penang, Malaysia, to
visit a missionary friend there, and to preach in a church on a Sunday.
Our son-in-law has a vision now to reach out to other nations.
We are already planning to take a team of men and our worship team to
Vietnam next year. Please pray that God will give us wisdom and
provision for all involved to be able to accomplish this wonderful
vision. I believe our trip to Malaysia is a preparation trip to
facilitate this vision as well. It will be great for our church to be
sending mission teams all over the world.
Thanks again for all your prayers and support. Please check out the many pictures on our blog site. You can view them at www.ralphdryden.com and on Facebook.

Missions Highlight Month
| September
at Golden Triangle Church on the Rock in Beaumont, TX was a "Missions
Highlight Month" which featured 2 international pastors, our
missionaries to the Philippines, and the annual "Taste of the Nations"
missions night.
Pastor
Sergey and Nina Gorokhov, currently pastoring two churches in Russia
(Yoshkar Ola and Kazan), ministered at GTCOTR, and in area churches,
and met with area pastors. This was their very firstvisit to the USA.
Pastor Sergey became a Christian during the original outreach to
Yoshkar-Ola,Russia as a young teenager, and subsequently was called by
the Lord into ministry. Later he became the pastor of the church! Now
he and his family have moved to the city of Kazan and have begun a new
work over the last year, while still ministering at the Yoshkar-Ola
church. Here is the link to their Russian language blog for the church
in Kazan: http://church-kazan.blogspot.com/ (English users - use Google Translate to view) or go to the YOCC web site.
Mike and Jude Kelly,
missionaries to the Philippines, also visited GTCOTR and area churches
and ministered. It was great to hear of the many medical outreaches
being conducted by the Kellys alongside of Kayang-Kayang ministries and
the Philippine army. GTCOTR's missions supporters also gave their
ministry a monetary gift that will allow the Kellys to provide nearly
100 bio-sand water filters for families in the San Isidro Relocation
camp which the Kellys work with.
 Rev. Dr. Musa Njuguna from
Kenya, East Africa has also been ministering at GTCOTR and area
churches, as well as itinerating at many other churches to raise
support for the many projects of his Charismata evangelism and church
planting team, and the "Adopt a Village" outreach program. |

God
has continued to move this summer and bless us with growth both
numerically and spiritually. What a blessing to be a part of people
getting saved and rededicating their lives on a weekly basis. The more
the church grows the hungrier the people are to see God continue to
move. We have a core group of people God has burdened to fast on a
weekly basis and some for extended periods of time, to see God move and
to see people saved.
 In the last few months, God has brought at least 25% growth overall with new people added weekly.
Recently,
we had additional 4 people rededicate their lives to the Lord. God has
opened the doors and given us many connections in the community around
us, many of which are leading to continued opportunities to see even
more lives touched.
The
need for transportation to church continues to grow, so we are in the
process of raising funds to obtain a bus, and perhaps even more than
one. The need arises from all ages including a group of seniors from a
retirement community, a group of teenagers in one of the outlying
communities, and both children and adults in the apartment complexes
surrounding the perimeter of the church. Our people have caught the
vision for reaching out and we hope to have the funds to provide
transportation soon.
 We
continue to pray for God's wisdom and direction as we work to increase
the Kingdom. He has been so faithful not only to give us wisdom, but
also to provide the necessary finances to do what He is asking us to
do. Please continue to pray for the hearts of the people in Conroe to
be open to the gospel and for the laborers to continue to bring people
to Christ. Thanks for all your prayers as we continue to pray for you
as well. I count it a privilege to serve with such a great group of
people who are excited to increase the Kingdom and most importantly to
see people saved.

| Taste of the Nations | |
  "Taste
of the Nations" is a trek from mythic Nepal to the Philippine
jungles, from the forests of Russia to northern India, from Haifa,
Israel to southern Mexico, to Thailand, Indonesia, Kenya and then back
to the USA - all in an exciting evening where the whole congregation
experiences international food and gains updated information about all
of the church's missions efforts.
An annual event, church members prepare international food dishes representative of various nations in which
Golden Triangle Church on the Rock has ongoing missions work.
The
whole church is invited to taste the various foods from around the
world. Each church member is also provided with a missions "passport"
which contains updated information on each mission and missionary.
Taste of the Nations has proven to be an effective tool to communicate
the ongoing missions vision and the needs of each outreach.
