Dear Pastor and Church,

Joyce and I have looked forward to this time when we would be leaving again to go back to Australia. By the time you receive this letter we will either be in the west coast or in Australia. We have one supporting church in California so this is the practical time to be there. We fly out May 17^th and arrive May 19^th in Brisbane.  

God has blessed us in many ways while we have been in the states. We have kept up with physical check ups. Every doctor’s report has been a clean bill of health. We are very thankful and feel that God has a special work yet for us to do.

We ask for your prayers as we launch into the TV ministry and subsequent correspondence with viewers. Please pray also for our son and daughter-in-law, Tim and Melanie, as they finish their deputation and migrate to Australia. They are ready and excited to leave the U.S. but also concerned to have raised enough support. Pray with us that their expenses are met sufficiently. Tim will be a tremendous help with the TV programming and with a Bible Institute that we hope to begin. We also ask that you pray with us that we sell our motor home. God knows, and we are trusting Him for this to be accomplished in His perfect time. We will be looking to purchase a car and get settled in Australia as soon as possible.

Souls are hanging in the balance and must soon be saved before it is too late. One such man, Les Ward, is very needy. In his late 60’s Les, has pancreatic cancer. He recently told Drew, our son-in-law, that he had never heard the plan of salvation before. He in not yet saved, but very impressed with his need. His wife, Beryl, has been saved for a long time.

At the end of July, we have a group of 30 adults coming to help us from Holt, Michigan. We are outgrowing our building, and the Lord willing, hope to put on an extension. It is a good problem!

Our kids in Australia are anxiously looking forward to our arrival. Thank you for your faithful support in prayers and financially. Thank you for making it possible for us to be your ambassadors to this needy country. Many churches and individuals have gone beyond the call of duty in sacrificing to supply our personal needs and needs of our ministry. We appreciate every amount that has been giving. May God reward you with his Bountiful Blessings in our sincere prayer.
