Rivers of Grace

Dear Friends & Partners,

We are about to dip into a new tributary of the river of life. The current will sweep us to the raw beauty of the continent of Africa. What awaits us is a new life of service in a different context with people whom we will grow to love dearly. What we are leaving are many who have poured their lives into ours.

We have grown to realize God's gospel grace is like a river that flows from one person to the next. God gave our parents, family, pastors, and church family this grace. They, in turn, blessed us with what God had given them. We now are carrying this life giving water across the ocean to see it multiplied through the leaders we will help train.

Ultimately, the goal is to see the water of life flowing across the continent. We want people to see that Jesus lived perfectly, died sacrificially, and rose victoriously offering eternal life and the power of the Holy Spirit to all who trust in him. This power will change God's enemies into worshipers. This grace will overflow in praise and glory to God!

Pray for us:

1. We are wrapping up final details here in the USA.
2. Rachel is doing some final shopping and packing.
3. We have been saying farewell to many friends and family.
4. We have stretched ourselves with travel. Pray for sustained energy.

Praise God:

1. He has given us safety for the 30+ hours of driving in the past three weeks.
2. We got to attend my sister Ashlyn's wedding this past weekend.
3. We have a buyer for our house and are about to close.
4. We have had several new partners investing in the training of African leaders.

Thank you for praying!

Jesus Over Everything,

Austin & Rachel Hunt
