Praying Friends,
Lamentations 3:22 "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." Today I am thankful for the Lord's mercy to me and my family. He has been so merciful and gracious to us while here in Australia. With the business of life it is good to slow down and take the time to count our blessings.
One of the recent blessings in our ministry was voting in a new deacon at the last business meeting. It is so wonderful to see the Lord's work in the lives of people and in the progress of His church. It has also been a blessing to be in the public school teaching Special Religious Education. Though it is only for a half an hour a week, I have enjoyed getting to know the students and teachers at the primary school. Another blessing is celebrating Grace Baptist Churches 15th anniversary next month. God has been so faithful to this work, and we pray He will continue to bless Grace's witness in the community.
Spring is finally in the air here in Melbourne. Flowers are blooming and the weather is warming up (though sometimes I wonder if winter is still trying to make a comeback). Our children are back to school again which makes our house a busy place, but it is a joy to see my children learn and grow in their understanding. With the warmer weather brings many activities and outreach opportunities. Please keep us in prayer as we will be busy at home and in the work at Grace.
Thank you for reading this update, and your prayers are always a blessing.
In Christ,
Mark Pitts and Family
