Our dearest friends,

Israel is in a state of war.

Our first prayer request is that you pray for the soon return of Jesus to take us home and, secondly, that you pray for Israel, who finds themselves in a state of war. I love Jesus, and I love His Word as you do. I have read the Bible all my life. I am fully expecting His return any day.

Peru Bible College 

I have had the best time teaching in the Bible College and speaking in chapel. God is at work in the lives of these young men and women. There is a great need to train more and more young people. Could you pray that God will touch the hearts of individuals and churches to support the Bible College? If you decide to help the Bible College monthly or with a one-time gift, we will get it straight to them. David Gardner is doing a great job here and running from dawn till dark, training, counseling, helping, and loving young men for the gospel's sake.

Preaching

God has allowed me to preach several times to the wonderful people of the churches here in Arequipa. God has graciously blessed. 

Taking the Light Ministries

Alignment Ministries proudly partners with Robert Canfield and Taking the Light Ministries to get the gospel to rural areas worldwide. Robert came for a short visit, and we toured the rural areas. We visited villages, small towns, and groups of families where the gospel is not preached at all. There is a great need to get young preachers and send them into these towns and villages. Please watch for upcoming announcements from Robert and Taking the Light.

Pastor's School

Please pray for me as I will preach to pastors and leaders from all over Peru and other South American countries this week. Pray that God will stir us all on to do more. I need God to move and use me, as there is nothing I can do to get us where we need to be.

Thank you

Thank you all for all you do to help us through Alignment Ministries. Your giving works all over the world. There is so much more need than we have current resources, but I know God will supply.

We love you more than you will ever know. I want to love unconditionally like Jesus has loved me. Thank you for making it all possible. God has blessed me so incredibly that I cannot express my thanks.

On a side note, we are staying at David and Katie's house, and I must tell you what an amazing young lady Katie is. She teaches in the Bible School. She leads the ladies' side of the Society of Mentors in Spanish and English. She is a tremendous hostess. God blessed David greatly with his sweet wife.

Gratefully yours for world evangelism,

Austin and Betty
