Dear Praying Friends,
Tomorrow morning we will be leaving the country!  Our shipping container was packed and shipped on Thursday.  Now our prayer is that it the container arrives safely and all the paperwork goes through without any problems.  We have packed all our luggage and also our carry-ons and we are now preparing for the final night sleep on this side of the world.  God has blessed us.
We had our final night with our church family at First Baptist Church in Danville, Illinois on Sunday.  They had a wonderful sendoff meal after the evening service.  We will miss them greatly, but our hearts are preparing to be enlarged by the Lord to love those that He has for us in Australia.  Please pray that our travels will go smoothly, and that the children will enjoy it the best they can.  Pray that the Lord would give His grace to us as this is a long journey.  Also, please pray that the Lord would mold us quickly to the ministry He has for us in Australia.
Thank you so much for your prayers and for taking the time to read our updates!

In Christ,
Mark Pitts and Family
