Betty's surgery and Austin's rescan of nodule causing concern

Pray for Betty and her scan

Dearest friends,


Health Update for Betty


Betty will have outpatient rotator cuff surgery on Thursday, June 1, 2023. For those that do not know, she tripped and fell at church several weeks ago. They reset her shoulder, but it still hurts. Horrible pain is the only description I know of what she went through. 


Her arm will be in a sling for six weeks, but they expect a full recovery and use of her arm after therapy and all. Many of you will know how to sympathize with her. 


Health Update for Austin 


In my latest scan, they found a nodule that is concerning for a focus of residual or recurrent disease. They will rescan me on June 13 and plan how to deal with the nodule. I ask you to pray for that.


Ministry Update.


God has been so good to us. He allowed us to travel to Africa and preach and teach many times. We met some new and very dear friends. Please pray that more and more missionaries will be called to go to Africa and share the gospel.


I am back at home and trying to return to work. I am finishing a book, catching up on my videos, and working on some new plans. 


As you know, God touched someone’s heart to give $20,000. The plan is to help the church in Mollendo get its property. The piece they were trying to buy has fallen through, and they are looking for another. I hope to have news for you by next month.


Because of your generosity, we were able to help a pastor in Africa this month, and they rescued an orphan baby and saved its life. 


Thank you for all you do to make a difference.


God bless you,


Austin and Betty

We need policies and control mechanisms but must learn not to rely on them exclusively. They undermine the very essence of a thriving workplace.

Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary.  Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
