Preaching plans in Peru and Iglesia Bautista Libertad
This excerpt is from Austin's email titled "Surgery is Planned" sent out on September 8, 2022. In it you can see Iglesia Bautista Libertad referenced which is the Spanish church split that followed him out of Vision Baptist Church's Spanish ministry where Austin continues to have the ability to preach regularly. He continues to preach in the USA. He canceled his planned trip to Peru where he was going to preach at the annual Pastor's Conference at the ministries he started and where his son David Gardner oversees. There are multiple other VBM families there besides David's who are serving in that Peru ministry who would have been under his preaching and teaching.
"Dear friends,
Iglesia Bautista Libertad
God has been so good to us. He gives me opportunities to preach regularly every week.
Iglesia Bautista Libertad will organize this Sunday, so this is a super special day for us. God has incredibly blessed the church despite jumping from house to house to have services.
Iglesia Bautista Fe
I had the privilege of preaching for the Faith Baptist Church of Lenoir City, Tennessee, Iglesia Bautista Fe, all day this past Sunday and Wednesday night. Their pastor gave me the privilege of preaching since he is in Bolivia preaching at a pastor’s conference.
Trip Canceled due to Surgery Plan.
As much as I hate to do it, I canceled the planned trip to Peru. I was so looking forward to preaching at the annual Pastor’s Conference."
