Dear Praying Friends,
Happy New Year from the Pitts family! It has been an exciting year for us that began all the way back to December of 2012. Somewhere near Christmas of 2012 we learned of our visas being approved and the final preparations for moving were able to begin. In January of last year we finished packing and said goodbye to our items in a shipping container. February we left for Australia. Now we are staring at one year on the field! Praise the Lord! The time has flown by while we have been busy for Him.
This past year has been a year of learning to say the least. We have had a crash course in Australian culture and living while diving into the ministry headfirst. God has been blessing and guiding the entire way. He has surrounded us with great coworkers and an amazing group of prayer supporters. Truly we could not do this without the help God has provided through His people. Thank you for your prayers and support.
The Lord has been at work here at Grace Baptist Church where we serve. We have had visitors that have continued to attend and have been responsive to God's Word. The Lord worked recently in the distribution of simple fliers inviting people to church. My desire and prayer for 2014 is that we will see new souls come to Christ. Please pray that there will be opportunity to meet people who are searching, and that God would give us boldness to share Jesus with them.
May God bless your 2014. May it be a year that He lays someone on each of our hearts to share the gospel with and see them come to Christ. May it be by His grace and for His glory!
In Christ,
Mark Pitts and Family
