God is so good! I cannot believe how quickly this year flew by. This is a catch-up letter. We will also be sending another one out at the end of February. We want to thank you all so much for your support for the past years. Laura and I were just reminiscing on how it’s been over a year since we were in the States with you all; it seems like just a few months to us. I wish we would have been able to see more of you, because you are very important to us and a part of our family. We love you, and we hope you had a great 2023.
I want to thank all of you who sent the tracts that we asked for. We received Vietnamese, Farsi, and several others. I will definitely be making use of them in 2024.
My friend Rodney, who is one of our deacons, is doing much better. His heart attack did damage his heart, more than the doctors originally thought, but he is making a wonderful recovery and praising the Lord. He is like most of the pastors I know; he won’t slow down.
I have been quite busy preaching in Sale, Victoria, and also here at Calvary. I have been asked to fill the pulpit for Pastor Abrell, who is planning to be in the States for a few weeks in May.
We would like to thank each and every one of you who gave us a Christmas gift. We are praising the Lord for you, and we are going to put that money towards our vehicle savings. Lord willing, by the end of the year, we should be able to buy a reliable vehicle for the ministry. I want to thank you again so much for caring for us, for the loving gifts, and for praying for Laura and me here in Australia.
Prayer Requests
• Please pray for more souls to be saved and baptized.
• Please pray for Rodney’s continued recovery.
Sincerely,
Ron Back
Missionary in Australia
