Thank you with a very special appreciation for your patient care, interest, and prayer as we transitioned from the 60-year mission to China back to Adelaide, South Australia.

John & Karen Short

As with yourselves, the Commission, Matthew 28:18-20 continues, but now it is from here the very place in 1964 we left for China. Upon this return, we have had wonderful support, firstly in the country town ofFinniss to R & R there. And then to a Plympton unit (in Adelaide) so graciously and generously provided by very special missionary minded believers.

We now anticipate moving in November into a 2 bedroom house about 40 minutes north of the Adelaide City center. Our coworker in Beijing, brother Daniel Liu, obtained a visa to travel in September and visit us in Sydney, Australia. It brought us great joy and thankfulness to have a direct report on how believers are facing current head winds there. We were able to pray and plan D.V. China projects for 2024.

This month's literature productivity was in Shandong, Qingdao, where we completed 100,000 Gospel messages currently being sent to 12 provinces. PTL and with full appreciation for your care and support.

The Unley assembly of believers from where I went forth in 1964 has faithfully supported us through these many years and has now graciously received us to fellowship and their hearts. For this, we thank GOD and therefore press on in faith and trust for the days ahead.

In the will of the Lord, our next assignment and project in the new year, GOD willing, is to visit AMT in Brisbane to meet and get to know new personnel there. Also, we hope to visit Karen's family in Bundaberg, Queensland.

We continue most days with literature distribution from our Norwood Adelaide suburb store and also the Saturday market day Gospel Witness in Chinatown. Again, thank you, thank you - THANK YOU for making space for us in your heart and prayers - you are in ours also!
