• Attached is the latest newsletter published by IPHC Australia, with an update on their<br />
activities.<br />
INDIA<br />
• It was a joy and privilege to travel with Bishop Tal to minister at the four annual<br />
conferences in India in January. His ministry was well received, and he did an<br />
outstanding job of encouraging the conference leaders and pastors.<br />
• Immediately after our visit in January, a team from Kiev, Ukraine, came to India to<br />
minister and participate in the opening of a church they financed. They plan to fund the<br />
building of more churches, and to make India a focus of their mission efforts. We thank<br />
the Lord for this connection, facilitated in large part by Ben and Marianne Janssen.<br />

THAILAND<br />
• The tenth annual conference of the Alliance Church Association (IPHC Thailand) was<br />
held from April 8-10, with over 70 pastors and leaders in attendance. Thanks to<br />
missionaries Allen Mayo and Debra Crook for ministering to the conference on the<br />
theme of “Christlikeness.” The work in Thailand continues to grow, with a total of 31<br />
churches now, a significant increase from the 2011 total of 23 churches. The IPHC work<br />
in Thailand includes Thai, Filipino, Nepalese, Burmese, and tribal congregations.<br />
Progress continues on the Indochina<br />
Mission Training Center complex in<br />
Maesai, in the “Golden Triangle”<br />
region. Thanks to the efforts of<br />
building teams from Minnesota and<br />
from Virginia, the construction of<br />
workers’ quarters and the water tower<br />
is nearly finished.<br />
When complete, the complex will<br />
include a refuge center for women and<br />
children. The complex is in a strategic<br />
area to train and send missionaries to<br />
China, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.<br />
RD Jeff Willhoite and missionary Albert Gonzalez are to be commended for their diligent<br />
work on this major project.<br />
CAMBODIA<br />
• Rev. Sammy Lamanilao reports that he was able to purchase over 100 Bibles of<br />
excellent quality in the Khmer language with funds sent by a church in the US. He is<br />
very thankful, and happy to be able to put these Bibles in the hands of Christians who<br />
have no copy of the Word of God. There is no greater gift than the God’s Word! Thanks<br />
to Steve Cofer for facilitating this donation.<br />
