Wonderful friends,
Wow, God is undoubtedly moving and working. The money you give through Alignment Ministries does so much. You support David Gardner planting churches in Peru and leading a Bible College training men and women to do gospel ministry.
You were already giving and seeing great things, but something happened. I was in Peru, and many pastors were sharing their needs. One pastor, Amador Lovón in Mollendo, Peru, has been pastoring there for over 19 years. They have been in rented and borrowed buildings.
Amador asked me if I would help. I told him I would put it in my prayer letter, pray over it, and we could ask God. A few days after returning to the USA, I got a Facebook message from a friend from our previous ministry. She had $20,000 to donate and wanted it to be used where it was needed most.
God answered prayer almost immediately. God still hears and answers prayer. The check is in hand. We are waiting for it to clear, and then that money goes to Peru to make a difference in a church. I will send you more pictures than I have in the following letter.
Also, you support Vladimir and Irina Akimov serving in the Ukraine. You know it is a blessing to be part of anything to glorify God in that region of the world.
I just got word from Pastor Jose Benitez in Queretaro, Mexico. You sent $8,000 to help them with the purchase of their property for their church. They are already working in their new building.
Your giving also supports a Missionary Widow, Carolyn Pace in Peru. They are some of the most wonderful people in the world.
Thomas Alute serving God in Kenya is supported by your contributions. You are doing even more around the world that I will mention the next time. Thank you so much.
Medical Update
Betty and I will leave soon to minister in Africa. We are very blessed and excited to have this opportunity.
Betty dislocated her shoulder a few weeks ago, and upon arrival from Africa, she will have rotator-cuff surgery. She is in relatively constant pain right now and could use your prayers.
I get more scans this week and will find out later if i am still cancer free. Thank you for praying.
God is blessing the Society of Mentors and the Spanish version, Sociedad de Mentores. I am so grateful for all that he is doing.
I invite you to check out my YouTube channels in English and Spanish.
Thank you for all you do.
God bless you
Austin and Betty
