March 2019 || Ministry Update

 Dear Family and Friends,

We are rejoicing over a wonderful March! 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 blessed with a great family vacation! We had an enjoyable trip to Colorado with Justyn’s side.

  2. God gave us 1 more supporter in March: This brings us to 9 total supporters and 18% 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.

  3. God gave us 6 more meetings! This includes one in 2020 and another in 2021, and it takes the total meeting

    count for 2019 to 31! Praise the Lord!

  4. God blessed us with a great Sunday in Rantoul, IL! We were thankful for the opportunity to fill the pulpit, and

    fellowship with the Coffin family between services - one of many gracious families at Maranatha Baptist Church.

  5. God blessed the Family Conference at Iglesia Bautista Bay View! There was a sweet spirit and great

    responses to the messages. It was a blessing to make many new friends in the faith! More pictured below.

  6. God blessed with an opportunity to continue the Family Conference into the English church at Bay View.

    We were honored to sing and speak during their evening service. We are thankful for God’s working!

  7. God blessed our time with Princeville Baptist. We had an opportunity arise to speak there on the 27th.

PICTURES: 1. New prayer card picture coming soon! 



2. We had a blast in Colorado as we enjoyed time with family. One afternoon turned into a BIG snowman building session. It then provided a great place for a photo shoot! 

3. Lydia, our happy little traveler - Praise the Lord! 


4. We enjoyed lots of authentic Hispanic food hosted by the Spanish church! It was delicious! Thank you, everyone! 

5. Justyn preaching with an interpreter. Pastor Ramirez and Justyn really enjoyed preaching together! 

6. Rachel enjoyed singing in Spanish a couple times during the family conference. She sang, “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”.


Please pray for these requests in APRIL:

1. March 31st-April 4th - Hopewell Baptist Church - Spring Revival in Pana, IL
2. April 7th-10th - Calvary Bible Church - Benton Harbor, MI
3. April 26th - Revival Night - Princeville Baptist Church - Princeville, IL
4. God to bless with more monthly support and future meetings- according to His will.

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
