January 2019 || Ministry Update

January 28th, 2019


Dear Friends and Family,

HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND MAY GOD USE US ALL FOR HIS GLORY!

We can't thank you enough for your compassionate prayers and God bless you all! A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM JANUARY

PICTURES: 1. Our first board meeting for A Heart For Revival Ministries was held on January 2nd, 2019. We are excited for the vision of this ministry as we labor for the cause of the Lord in Revival and Evangelism! 



2. Our first Revival Night at Princeville Baptist Church was blessed with 60 in attendance! Pictured are all but one who attended from Crossroads. 



3. We enjoyed some good fellowship with some of the Crossroads family who had completed their Bible reading in 2018. We called it, “Meat From The Master = Meat From The Pastor.” It was encouraging to hear all the testimonies of reading the Bible through last year! 



4. Pastor Nutzhorn and Faith Baptist in Toulon blessed with us with an opportunity to fellowship with them and preach for them on January 23rd. Rachel had time during our pizza fellowship to speak with the young ladies of Faith. It was a blessed evening in the Word! 



5. On Sunday, January 27th, we were able to fill the pulpit for Pastor Chad Delhotal in Princeton, IL. We enjoyed great fellowship with each person that was able to attend. The Lord blessed us with wonderful services together.



JANUARY SUPPORT



We were blessed to receive news of our first promised monthly

supporters from four individuals and one church. All of these have been sweet surprises to us not to mention a great answer to prayer! Every night with Lydia (and in our own prayers), we gather together as a family to pray for meetings, supporters, daily provisions, health to serve others, revival/evangelism, for Lydia to come to know the peace of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord and other important requests of each day.

CONCLUSION
We invite you to visit our website and download our revival app. You can find short

Bible challenges, daily podcasts that move chapter by chapter through the Bible, our yearly calendar, and many other encouraging revival insights by visiting our website and app.

We are excited about the meetings Pastors have scheduled, and we are praying for more opportunities to arise as our heart for revival and evangelism continues
to grow. May we stand amazed as God continues to save souls and revive
the saints.

With A Heart For Revival and Evangelism, Justyn, Rachel and Lydia Smith

Isaiah 57:15

Three "Musts" For Missions Revival

  Three "Musts" For Missions Revival I'm really excited about getting in on everything God has in store for us this week at our 2016 Missions Revival, "REACHING THE NATIONS," and it's my desire to prepare you to be ready for our missions revival this week by giving you the "Three 'Musts' For Missions Revival." I'm so thankful for the many who have volunteered their services in many different ways (food prep, basket items, decorating, 5K sign up, etc), but there is still a few things that need to be done. Let me list them so you can help us all be ready for a great missions revival this week! I. We must be  Pure !  There's no need for us to wait for tonight to "get things in order spiritually." Get them in order now. Let's search our hearts and our lives. We'll find out the meeting will be "that much better" if we are where we need to be spiritually, which is, in right standing before God with no deceitful...

Dear Family and Friends... The Work of our December ministry was exciting and extremely blessed by the Lord!  Our hearts are full, and we are marveling over our Saviour's birth! We are rejoicing over so many things to report...first, thank you for your faithful prayers, love and support. NOTES:  We ARE CURRENTLY in Alaska visiting family and ministering the Word of God through the first week of February. Please take note that any support sent by mail may take a little longer to be deposited. Also, our envelopes need to be reprinted due to an old address on them. If you don’t know it already, please take note of the new address for correspondence on our website. We will attempt to produce an annual “report” newsletter after the first of the year, but this may not be accomplished until we return from Alaska the first part of February. We shall see! REJOICE POINTS: 1. We were gifted a trip to Branson!  We got to meet and fellowship with the lovely people of Calvary Baptist C...
