Year End Report 2023

Austin Gardner • January 21, 2024

Dear friends,



God blessed last year. Thank you for your prayers and financial support.


Travel


Betty and I traveled to Colombia, Peru, twice, and South Africa and God worked in each place. I accompanied our son, Chris, to hear him make his TED talk in Wales. 


God allowed me to preach in English and Spanish in several places across the United States in Send Off services, mission’s conferences, and regularly scheduled services. I got to preach several hundred times.


Health


We seem to have my health under control. The medicines they gave me were really messing with everything. Not having adrenal glands affects everything in your body. I take steroids everyday just to stay alive. If I miss two days, my doctor says I will be dead. 


I went on the carnivore diet and that seems to have majorly helped with so much. 


Mission Work Supported


Thanks to your generous giving, you have made a difference in the USA, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Kenya, Peru, and the Ukraine. None of that would be possible without your prayerful sacrifice. Thank you.


The future


"From Pain to Praise," a new book on forgiveness, will soon hit the shelves. Got more work to do than ever. 

I mainly want you to know that you have made a difference.

Betty and I were very blessed to have the entire family together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. 4 wonderful children and their spouses, 20 grandkids, 2 married, and 1 great grandbaby.

Thank you. God bless you.


Your friends,


Austin and Betty
