God has greatly blessed us this year!!!

We are coming to the end of the year and wanted to share how thankful we are for all God has done. He keeps expanding what we are doing and allows us to share the gospel with more and more people. This past year, we have seen several new people come to faith in Christ, and we have had people visit us from America and Malaysia. Koon, Ying, Evan, Myah, Levi, and Chris visited us this past year. They are all praying about what God has for them in their lives. We are thankful that God allowed us to connect with and encourage them on their journey as they have encouraged us. Pray for God to send more people our way who are serious about the gospel and want to see the nations reached. 

Our Myanmar school is running well, and we are seeing growth in our students and new connections with family members. The Myanmar school gives us great opportunities to show that we care practically and creates many opportunities to share the gospel. We seek to see it grow to have a more significant impact. Pray for new students and guidance in the direction of the school.

 Zion, the lady who manages our refugee house, is doing well. All the children are incredibly thankful to have safe housing and to be able to get an education. Zion is connecting with other people in the area and gathering for worship and bible study. She continues to seek new ways to connect with people in her area. Pray for the children to know Christ and for Zion to have the strength and wisdom to continue the work. 

Travis went to America to get married and plans to return in 6 months with his soon-to-be wife, Tif. We are so thankful for the heart God gave them for the nations and are excited for their return. Travis was ministering at a college near us, and we are trying to maintain and build some new connections for when he returns. This may also lead to unique teaching opportunities, allowing for greater connections. Pray for Travis and Tif as they prepare to get married and for him to raise support.  

We continue to train the next generation of Christians to share the gospel. Chai and Au Kjaw Tway are regularly being discipled for gospel outreach. We also have a weekly discipleship time with about eight people per week. We have others who are new in Christ, who we want to spend more time with, but their work schedules and proximity make this problematic. Pray that God allows us to teach the people we have as best as possible. 

We finished our year with Christmas caroling and gospel presentations at about 10 Thai and Myanmar houses in our area. We are so thankful that God allows us to connect with many people. We sang, shared the gospel, and had a meal at our house on Christmas Eve. We had about 60 people attend, and it was truly a blessing. Pray for the people who heard the gospel to believe.

Last but certainly not least. God allowed a new addition to our church gathering. Chai and Moe had their new baby (name to be announced soon) on December 22nd. So, that is definitely the best Christmas present we received.

We like to encourage people to visit us and see for yourselves what God is doing here. As a follower of Christ, you have a part in God’s plan to reach the nations. While we want all Christians to share the gospel in unreached areas, we know that not everyone can. God has blessed us with many wonderful people who support our work here. We are so thankful for them and encourage you to consider supporting us as well. We are primarily self-funded and need help to stay in Thailand and continue the work God has for us here. Our US non-profit is now up and running, and we will send you a tax-deductible statement of charitable giving. If you decide to support us, please know your money will be well spent. Also, if you have any questions, please message me at williamcohler@gmail.com. You can give at e4pministries.com. Thank you so much for your time, and have a Merry Christmas.
