Scans show no cancer

I hope to continue growing in grace

Thursday, March 9, 2023

Dear friends,

You are such a blessing to us. Your kindness is so much more than we deserve. Thanks for praying. Thanks for being a friend.

God has been super good to us. They finally did the last two scans. They were MRI with and without contrast. I got the results in my patient portal, and the best I understand everything, I am still cancer free. Thank you so much for praying.

God has allowed me to preach in Spanish and English several times weekly, plus what I do online via YouTube and Zoom—again blessed to add value to the lives of those I serve.

What a privilege to see our second grandson marry the love of his life. They are such a beautiful young couple and we are excited to see what God will do with them.

While we were in Colombia, South America, at a friend’s wedding, we got word that our oldest grandson and his wonderful wife will make us great grandparents in October. God is so good.

I will travel to Florida to be involved in a conference as an attendee, where I hope to learn to do my ministry much better. I always want to continue growing if I can.

Then we travel to Peru in April. God has blessed opening several doors for us. I am excited to be still serving God. I truly believe God is at work in my life, helping me become the man he wants me to be. His grace is marvelous when you consider how often I fail him and how much he forgives, loves, and continues to work in my life.

Again, I thank all of you for your wonderful friendship and kindness toward us.

God bless

Austin and Betty
