February 2019 || Ministry Update


Dear Family and Friends,

We are rejoicing over a wonderful February! Thank you for your faithful prayers, love and support. God is using you and your prayers, and we want to let you know a few of those ways within this letter.

REJOICE POINTS:


  1. God gave us 3 more supporters in February: One of the churches we preached for in January, and two individuals! This brings us to 8 total supporters and 16% of our current prayer goal! It has truly been exciting to watch God answer specific prayers for support. The monthly support we receive will eventually allow us to do more for each local church without being a financial burden to them.

  2. God gave us 4 more meetings for 2019! This takes the total meeting count to 27! Praise the Lord!

  3. God blessed us with a visit from Rachel’s mother from Alaska!

  4. God blessed the Revival Sunday in Kokomo, IN at Faith Baptist Church! There was a sweet spirit and great

    responses to the messages. It was neat to reconnect with many dear people that we hadn’t seen in years, but it was also neat to meet many new faces! Pastor Andrew Green and his dear people are gracious hosts! We rejoice over what God has done and is doing at Faith Baptist!

    PICTURES: 1. Rachel’s mother got to come down from Alaska to spend a couple weeks with us!



    2. God provided a gift card so we could enjoy dinner out as a family on Valentine’s Day! 



    3. We had a blast celebrating Lydia’s 2nd birthday with our family! (No pic)

    4. Rhoda (our 2005 Toyota Prius) hit 340,000 miles this month on our way to church...praise the Lord for His provision and longevity! (No Pic)

    5. We had a wonderful Revival Sunday with Pastor Green and Faith Baptist Church in Kokomo, IN!



Please pray for these meetings in MARCH:

1. March 17th - Maranatha Baptist Church - Pulpit Supply for Pastor Wilkerson in Rantoul, IL
2. March 20th-24th - Iglesia Bautista Bay View - Family Conference with split sessions and main services almost every day of the meeting. I will speak in English and Pastor Ramirez will speak in Spanish. (Pray for Rachel as she will be speaking Thursday-Sunday for the ladies.) 3. March 31st-April 4th - Hopewell Baptist Church - Spring Revival in Pana, IL

AS ALWAYS please continue to pray for souls to be saved and revival to be stirred wherever the Lord leads us ... WE LOVE YOU!

A Surprise Alaska Trip

Image
A somewhat last minute trip to Alaska came up and we jumped on the opportunity. This whole trip was designed to surprise a youth pastor in Fairbanks, Alaska for faithfully serving for 20 years as a youth pastor. My girls couldn’t go due to how fast the trip and turn around times were, but it was a blessing to get to visit Alaska again so soon. Here are some pics to recap the trip: Denali and view from the air! A beautiful Alaskan day in the valley. On my way to Glennallen from Palmer to preach God‘s word! One of the games we played to surprise the Youth Pastor was called “the price is exactly right.” He is sitting on one of the gifts the people blessed him with! Another beautiful Alaska travel day! I had the privilege of going to the Alaska State Fair with my sister-in-law, my niece and my two nephews! I enjoyed laying the dining room floor flowing from the kitchen that was remodeled in July. I also got to install a sink and a dishwasher at another location. It was a busy but blessed t

An Audio Witness

  An Audio Witness Attention Pastors, Evangelists, and Teachers of the Word! Start being an  audio witness  of what God has engraved within your heart! It's easy, and It doesn't take much time to establish. On average, I typically spend 1/2 an hour a day/6 days a week establishing my daily audio witness called  "The Preacher's Push."  This name was birthed in my mind and heart during evangelism. However, it's influence never came into full swing until this past year. The reason I am posting this blog is to simply show others (who have inquired) how I do what I do that they may establish a similar setup to "exhort one another daily" from the Word of God! First,  PRODUCING  - there are 3 different setups I have used in the past to establish an audio witness. Knowing that there are plenty of other excellent options for your consideration, I'll spend my time here with what I do know. (The following are just examples of this preacher experimenting wit
