Dear Praying Friends,
It is Valentine's Day today.  Four years ago today we arrived in Australia for our first term on the field.  Much has happened since that day.  The Lord has blessed Grace Baptist Church, where we have the privilege to serve, and the Lord has kept us safe in all our travels across the ocean and in two different countries.  Above all that, God has faithfully loved us every step of the way!  Thank you, Lord!!
Our travels here in the States are almost at an end.  We are currently packing a crate to ship back to Australia in a few weeks and then we will be packing our suitcases.  So far we have traveled over 14,600 miles and over 220 hours in the car.  Thank you for your prayers for us.  God has answered with safety and great meetings across the US.  Please pray for the final preparations to return and for God's grace in our transition back to the work in Australia.
Thank you for checking in on this ministry update.  May God bless you!

In Christ,
Mark Pitts and Family


The kids were able to make some new friends along the way


And we were able to enjoy the Children's Museum (check out Lucy's face!)


Winter wouldn't be complete without sledding


There hasn't been much snow, but when it does fall it looks awesome


We are so thankful for our supporters!


A big THANK YOU to Faith Baptist Church in Danville, IL for donating to buy new hymnals for the work in Australia.  May God bless and reward you for your gift of love.
