2023 Austin continues mentoring VBM missionaries

2023 Austin continues mentoring VBM missionaries

This is Austin Gardner's January 2023 ministry update. It includes Austin’s plans to continue preaching in conferences and confirmed tickets to visit the missionaries still loyal to him in Colombia, Peru, and South Africa. There are many other loyal followers of Austin in Vision Baptist Missions or who are members of Vision Baptist Church who are a part of his secret Society of Mentors and continue to receive ministry training from him but do not yet have him scheduled to visit their ministries.

Questions still remain:

Since Austin Gardner was disqualified and deemed unfit for ministry by the Vision Baptist Church special committee, publicly stood before the church admitting his sin, and then before taking the steps to be restored back to public ministry subsequently ran from the church discipline process to continue doing ministry under his own non-profit with little to no accountability...

“Why are members of Vision Baptist Church allowing Austin to preach and teach in their ministries?”

and

“Why are VBM missionaries still allowing him to train and mentor them for ministry and using ministry funds to support Austin’s secret Society of Mentors?”

January Prayer Letter

Happy New Year to all of you. I thank you all so much for all you do for the cause of Christ. Your prayers make a difference in our lives and ministries. 2023 is a new year.

It is time to leave the past in the past and move on to what we can do for the Lord. Forget those things behind us and stretch forward to those that God has before us. [bold emphasis added so that you can see how he wants people to view his previous behaviors]

I thank you for your help in prayer, which has enabled us to start a YouTube channel in English, and we release one new video daily. You can learn more and subscribe here. https://www.youtube.com/​channel/UCnr4HVuInKpwTE-Vybc-​iLA.

We have also started a Spanish YouTube channel releasing one new video per day here. https://www.youtube.com/​channel/​UC9Bxww5w9J6UnayAnxyufmQ

Pray for me, as I will preach in two mission conferences this month. Tickets are now purchased for trips to Colombia, Peru, and South Africa. Ask God to bless this time together. [bold emphasis added so that you can see how he continues preaching as well as mentoring VBM missionaries]

Our most immense praise is that our grandson, Benjamin Soncco, left for Ecuador to serve an internship with Kason Bloom. We are very proud of Benjamin and look forward to God doing great things in his life.

I will have a scan later this month to see if the cancer is back or if I continue cancer free. You can pray about that with us if you will.


God bless you. I hope you have your best year ever.

We love you,


Austin and Betty
