Dear Praying Friends,
It's that time again, another update on what the Lord is doing 'down under'! The time has flown by due to the busyness of the last few weeks.  I'm sure you know what that's like, where there doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to accomplish all your tasks.  In the last month the Lord has taught me several great lessons.
The Lord has taught me how special Sara is to our family.  Sara had the privilege to visit America for two weeks in the middle of July.  Sara's sister had a little baby girl a few months ago, and Sara went back to hold her precious niece.  The children and I remained and held down the fort.  You realize how much someone does, when you try to fill their shoes!
Also I have been taught the reward of patience.  A day after Sara left for the US, our crate was delivered to our house.  It contained mostly school materials, but we waited four months for it to arrive.  When we originally shipped the crate we were told 10-12 weeks.  I'm just thankful it arrived in one piece.
The ministry at Grace continues on and the Lord has been blessing in so many ways.  Please continue to pray for our small groups, and the other plans that are being put into place.  May God be glorified in all we do!
Thank you for taking the time to read this update.

In Christ,
Mark Pitts and Family
