May 2021 || Ministry Update


Dear Family and Friends,

The LORD is good! 

Blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8

Our 2021 ministry has been blessed beyond measure by our precious Lord! As one of our friends from Rantoul, IL says, “We are blessed by the BEST!” Our hearts are full, and we desire to move forward choosing “FAITH OVER FEAR.” We are rejoicing over many blessings to report, but, first, thank you for your faithful prayers, love and support. We pray you will enjoy catching up with our endeavors for revival to be stirred for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

HERE ARE THE BIGGEST REJOICE POINTS SINCE OUR LAST UPDATE:
(We send monthly updates when we are home and can get to the printer. We are starting to send more frequent updates via email.)

1. GOD HAS BLESSED BY PROVIDING EVENTS!

Concerning the filling of our schedule, our philosophy has always been "...if the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that...” and since our March 2021 update the Lord has provided 12 more event opportunities: 11 of those in 2021 and 1 in 2022. This takes the 2021 event total to 35 (it would be 36 but we had to cancel one due to illness) and the 2022 total to 3 Revivals! We rejoice in how the Lord is filling our schedule.

2. GOD BLESSED WITH AN ADDITIONAL SUPPORTER! God provided 1 more supporter since our March Update - this is an anonymous giver from someone within our sending church! We wish to give our monthly supporters another big “THANK YOU”! This means our total support level is up to 38%. (Find out more on our website.)

3. GOD BLESSED IN EACH EVENT! Since our March Update, we have had 2 events. We received many great responses to the songs Rachel sang and also to the preached Word that was delivered. One of the churches we we were with is one of our annual stops. We are thrilled the Lord continues to give an open door at Calvary in Benton Harbor. Everyone was so sweet and eager to receive the Word! We were very blessed by their kind reception of us and how they cared for our family. We are blessed to grow with this church and many others. Pastors, if you’d like us to come annually to your church - we’d be honored. Simply reach out and we’ll look forward to scheduling something with you!

4. GOD BLESSED WITH AN UPCOMING TRIP TO ALASKA! Originally, we had no plans to revisit Alaska until Christmas, but God has changed all that due to a teen rally scheduling and the opportunity to do a kitchen remodel. From those two opportunities a quick July trip has arisen. We are so thankful for the Pastors who quickly scheduled us to visit their churches during our upcoming short trip. God bless you! We can’t wait to see you all!

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE FOLLOWING EVENTS IN MAY:

•Riverview Baptist - Seymour, WI •Prairie Baptist - Scotts, MI (Education Sunday) •Freedom Bible - Bartonville, IL •Camp Joy - Whitewater, WI (Training Camp) •Maranatha Baptist - Rantoul, IL

AS ALWAYS please continue to pray for souls to be saved and revival to be stirred wherever the Lord leads us. We hope to see you in 2021... WE LOVE YOU!

  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.

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!
