Who We Are

Jerry Fudala

Jerry was born in the small town of Uniontown, PA. He came into the church in the winter of 1999 and was baptized in Jesus’ name in February in an icy cold river and later filled with the Holy Ghost in March at his home as he laid reading his bible at 2am.  He has taught the College and Career age in Sunday School. He would also play the drums during services when needed. He is a student of the Word and loves to teach, preach or just talk about the Bible!

“T” Fudala

Sister “T” was born in Thailand.  She was raised Buddhist until she heard the message of salvation through Jesus. She was baptized in Jesus‘ name in the Philippines and received the Holy Ghost in America.  She worked for the US Embassy in Thailand until the summer of 2007 at which time she flew to Pennsylvania to get married. She is a fervent and powerful prayer warrior who also has been translating for speakers at several conferences each year in Thailand for the last 30 years.

She worked with Billy Cole when he came to Thailand to help with translating. He also asked her to help start the Bangkok Thai church in 2001 along with Robert Frizzell.

These pictures were taken in 2004 with Billy and Shirley Cole in their home where he prophesied over us that it was the will of God for us to go to Thailand.


They have had the opportunity to visit many states as well as traveling overseas to visit other Asian countries such as Malaysia, Laos and Vietnam. They have also been invited to minister at churches around the USA. They both hold a General ministers license with the UPCI.

In addition to attending Souls Harbor First Pentecostal Church in Belleview, FL pastored by James and Jason Varnum, they held regular bible studies at their home in Florida as well as prayer meetings and fellowship. In 2017, they became AIM appointees to the country of Thailand. In September of 2018, they were promoted to the status of Associate Missionaries (AMP) by the UPCI. In February of 2024, they were approved to become fully appointed
missionaries by the UPCI Global Missions board.

Together, they started the Pentecostals of Chiang Mai church when they arrived and have been having great revival ever since! In their first 7 years of ministry before returning for their first deputation, they have baptized over 250 people and have helped over 800 people receive the Holy Ghost!
