Benjamin leaves for Ecuador

Sunday, January 1, 2023


Dear friends,


Happy New Year to all of you. I thank you all so much for all you do for the cause of Christ. Your prayers make a difference in our lives and ministries. 2023 is a new year. It is time to leave the past in the past and move on to what we can do for the Lord. Forget those things behind us and stretch forward to those that God has before us.


I thank you for your help in prayer, which has enabled us to start a YouTube channel in English, and we release one new video daily. You can learn more and subscribe here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnr4HVuInKpwTE-Vybc-iLA.


We have also started a Spanish YouTube channel releasing one new video per day here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Bxww5w9J6UnayAnxyufmQ


Pray for me, as I will preach in two mission conferences this month. Tickets are now purchased for trips to Colombia, Peru, and South Africa. Ask God to bless this time together.


Our most immense praise is that our grandson, Benjamin Soncco, left for Ecuador to serve an internship with Kason Bloom. We are very proud of Benjamin and look forward to God doing great things in his life. 


I will have a scan later this month to see if the cancer is back or if I continue cancer free. You can pray about that with us if you will.



God bless you. I hope you have your best year ever.


We love you,



Austin and Betty
