God blessed us incredibly this month

­­ ­

Dear friends, Colombia Trip God blessed us incredibly this month. We spent ten days looking for a place to start a new church, helping in a language school, teaching and preaching to beautiful people in Colombia. We spent time with three wonderful missionary families. One of the biggest blessings was that a wonderful pastor friend heard I was going and sent me $4,000 to be a blessing to the missionaries there. God is extremely good! We thank you so much for praying. Argentina Trip This month we have the privilege of going to Argentina for two weeks and preaching in several different churches. This time we will spend two Sundays there. I really can't wait. Again, God blesses us so richly. Training God's Servants God has blessed the Society of Mentors. This month we start a ladies' section for the members of the society. Katie Gardner will be the host of this new ministry. Lauren Grant will be her cohost. The ladies are excited. More fantastic news is that we will launch the Society of Mentors in Spanish in June. There is already a great deal of interest in the Sociedad de Mentores. Health Update There has been no real change or update on the cancer. The tumors shrunk a great deal the first scan but have been holding steady now. There are no plans for surgery, but the doctor says I can travel as long as I can handle it and still make it back for my monthly infusions. I am so thankful to God for how He is directing my life. I have learned so much and grown immensely in the Lord. He has new plans for our lives, for which I am so grateful. A poem that has meant a great deal to me can be found at this link. The poem is "Bend in the Road!" The point of the poem is that it is not the end but a bend. I hope that you read it and enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you for all you do! God bless, Austin and Betty
