Dear Praying Friends,
Wow, there is so much to write about I don't really know where to start. The flights across the globe went well. We had long layovers but the Lord brought us through safe and we did not lose any of our luggage. Upon arrival two missionary families were at the airport to meet us. They then drove us to our house in our own vehicle and we started to settle in.
The first days here have been spent trying to get life set up in a new place. It has been such a blessing to have missionary co-workers to help us through this process. There is so much that we would not have known if not for those who have gone before us in this process. We thank the Lord for providing such wonderful friends.
The first Sunday at Grace Baptist Church was wonderful. There was a service that involved a moment of prayer where we were in the center of the entire group of believers as they prayed God's blessing on us in Australia. Then following the service there was a lunch where we could have a chance to sit down and meet the people. It was a great time of fellowship, and the people are so kind. Last Sunday I had the privilege to preach. This Sunday we will be having a Family Fun Day to reach out into our community. It will be a dinosaur theme, and we will center around the truth that God created the dinosaur and He also created us. There have been hundreds of fliers handed out, and our prayer is that we would see many come to this event and then return next Sunday for service.
There is still much to do in the whole start up process, and we are still awaiting the arrival of our shipping container. Thank you so much for your prayers for us, and your support financially. God has brought us here and He will sustain us here. May God bless you all.
In Christ,
Mark Pitts and Family
