Thank you so much for your prayers. We fully understand that God is doing all the work in our lives and ministry. I have one major prayer request for you this month. God has blessed a young pastor and his church with the opportunity to purchase property. Please pray with me about giving to this need.
Health Update

People constantly ask me how I feel, and I appreciate the concern and the prayers. I feel normal. I am adjusting to life with hormone replacement—steroids that act in place of my adrenal glands. That is the most significant change.
I have masses or tumors, but I wouldn’t know it if the scans didn’t reveal them to me. There is danger lurking and hidden inside, but I do not feel any discomfort. My life is good. I am grateful.
Thank you for continuing to pray and for being interested. I will know something from the next scans in early 2025.
Church Property
Pastor Amador Lovon is doing great work. God is using him in the city of Mollendo, Peru. Years ago, a Peruvian church member promised us a piece of property for that church when we started, but later backed out.
They can buy property but need $25,000 to complete the purchase. I am asking God to touch your heart to help me raise these funds this month. The need is great. All the funds will go straight to this church. Will you help? Click here to give.
Peru Bible College
The Bible College is closing another academic year. The financial pressure from the Bible College is great. They need one-time offerings or monthly support. The college grows, and they continue training new leaders. Jesus spent His time training 12 men who went on to turn the world upside down. That is happening at the Bible College. Pray about giving an offering. Click here to give.
Holidays

God has been so good to us, and we are excited to spend time with our family during the holiday season. Our family is very busy, as they are all involved in pastoring churches, being missionaries, raising a family, and all that entails. It is a wonderful time when we get to catch up and take a day.
We will all be together except for David, Katie, and their three children. They are in Peru serving as missionaries, and we will miss them. Pray for them during the holidays.
God bless you; thank you for all you do.
Your unconditional friends,
Austin and Betty
