September 2019 || Ministry Update

Dear Family and Friends...Rejoice Over Our September Ministry & Pray Over Our October Ministry!

OUR SEPTEMBER UPDATE: Wow! God greatly blessed our September. Our hearts are full, and the fervor continues to grow. We are rejoicing over so many things to report...first, 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 a tremendous revival meeting in Osawatomie, KS! It was so awesome how the Lord stirred all our hearts in love for God’s Word and each other. We can’t wait to visit Victory in Osawatomie again!
2. God gave us an extremely sweet revival meeting in Kokomo, IN! It was a blessing to return to Faith in Kokomo. God gave us one of the sweetest meetings with them yet. We can’t wait for what the Lord will do there, and we are excited to see everyone at Faith soon for an upcoming wedding celebration in October!
3. God blessed our other events greatly! It was a blessing to fill the pulpit at a couple churches, serve and preach at Harvard Hills with Pastor Micah Hamilton (who scheduled a Spring Revival upon our last visit), and it was a tremendous honor to not only attend but officiate my brother’s wedding! God’s best to Brian and Bekah Smith (pictured below) - congratulations!
4. God gave us 3 more meetings since our last letter! 2 more in 2019 taking the total meeting count for 2019 to 54 (I mis- counted in prior newsletters), and 15 meetings scheduled for 2020...Praise the Lord— we can’t wait to see how the Lord will continue to fill our schedule for His glory!
5. God laid it on the heart of a current supporter to double their monthly giving! Our total monthly support is $555/month! God is so good! We are so thankful for every one of our supporters. Your consistent and gracious giving allows us to GO more freely as we seek God for revival and spread the good news of Jesus Christ!

Once again, our new address for monthly support checks is: Evangelist Justyn Smith C/O Princeville Baptist Church
235 W. Douglas St., Princeville, IL 61559

2. We were blessed to visit friends in IL and MO after KS and therefore rejoice over huggable Hailey!


3. Rachel, my second cousin, drove over an hour to see us and attend our revival in Kokomo!


4. Lydia was blessed to receive a package in the mail from new friends from the church in Kansas (Lydia named the doll Autumn)!


5. Brian and Bekah’s wedding was a special time for us all. God bless the newlyweds!


Please pray for these requests in October (October Is BUSY, BUSY; Pray it’s extremely blessed!):

  1. October 6th-9th - Fall Revival at Pleasant Plains Baptist in Apex, NC

  2. October 11th-12th - Rachel is speaking at a Ladies’ Retreat in Trafalgar, IN

  3. October 13th-17th - Fall Revival at Hopewell Baptist in Pana, IL

  4. October 18th-19th - Rachel is singing for the Sparrow/Oaks Wedding in Kokomo, IN

  5. October 20th-23rd - Fall Jubilee at Fair Haven Baptist in Charlestown, IN

  6. The Prius had a diagnosis run on it. The airbags won’t work anymore and the CAT Converter is just about done. To fix both these issues totals over $6k with the quote we were given. Pray with us for God’s provision of another vehicle if that’s 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
