Summer 2021 || Ministry Update


Dear Family and Friends,


We don’t deserve such love, but GOD so loved us!

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8


Our 2021 Summer ministry is coming to a close, and it’s been wonderful! (View pictures on this digital version below...)

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 BLESSED WITH ADDITIONAL MEETINGS!

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 last update the Lord has provided 6 more event opportunities: 4 of the 6 in 2021 (1 of the 4 is reoccurring annually) and 2 of the 6 in the years to come. This takes the 2021 event total to 41 and the 2022 total to 6. We rejoice in how the Lord is filling our schedule.


2. GOD BLESSED WITH ADDITIONAL MONTHLY SUPPORT! God provided us with a new monthly supporter as well as an increase of monthly support from a current supporter. This takes our total overall monthly support to 43%, which in turn means our Level Two Support has reached 87%. (Find out more about Level 1, 2, and 3 support by visiting our website.) Thank you to all those the Lord has led to give monthly support or whenever the Lord prompts you. We are extremely grateful for each gift of love!


3. GOD BLESSED IN EACH EVENT! Since our last Update, we have had 15 events. From preaching regular services and pulpit supply, to Teen Camps and Revivals, God has greatly blessed each event in unique ways. There isn’t enough room on this page                 to type all testimonies from each event, but thank you for praying. May God continue to use His Word to stir lives for His glory!


4. GOD BLESSED WITH SALVATION DECISIONS! Since our last update, we have seen at least 3 souls come to Christ for salvation. There have been many other Gospel conversations and seeds planted. We are praying for God to give a great increase for His kingdom’s sake!


PLEASE PRAY FOR THE FOLLOWING END OF SUMMER/ FALL EVENTS:

  • August 9th-12th, Wisconsin: Lifepointe Baptist - Lodi (VBS)
  • August 15th, Wisconsin: Lifepointe Baptist - Lodi (Sunday)
  • August 22nd, Illinois: Marquette Manor Baptist - Downer Grove (Sunday and Picnic)
  • August 23rd-27th, Illinois: Marquette Manor Baptist (School Connections Week)
  • September 11th, Pennsylvania: Anthony Baptist - Jersey Shore (Teen Rally)
  • September 12th-15th, Pennsylvania: Anthony Baptist - Jersey Shore (Revival)

  • October 10th-13th, Indiana: Faith Baptist - Kokomo (Revival)
  • November 14th, Illinois: Crossroads Baptist - Peoria (Sunday)

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.

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 Church. We
