Missionary Spotlight

Missionary of the month of September 2026: Ron and Vicki Letts

Ron and Vicki were missionaries in Australia from 1984 until they retired. The mission’s team is blessed to have Ron and Vicki serving with us to give us practical information on how to better serve our missionaries on the field.

-Please pray for Ron and Vicki as they seek out ways to serve here in the US and in our church.

-Pray for the churches they helped plant in Australia, that the Word of God will be clearly taught and those people they left in charge will remain faithful to the Lord and the work God has for them.

-Pray for good health

Please see their most recent prayer letter on the mission table.
