CLICK HERE TO PRINT THIS NEWSLETTER

Thank you for reading about, giving to and praying for all that God has allowed us and is allowing us…it’s all for His glory!

Jude 1:24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

This newsletter is simple and to the point. We wish to deliver the highlights from 2021 accompanied with the anticipated plans for 2022.

Rejoice points for our 2021 END OF THE YEAR totals:

~We were blessed to have 60 different events! We were thrilled to be with 14 NEW CHURCHES this year. This also means we had the tremendous blessing of continuing to build relationships by revisiting 46 churches. We want to express our gratitude for each new pastor and each reoccurring pastor that allowed us to visit their churches and minister to their church families. THANK YOU!

~We sang and preached in 11 different states including (AK, IL, IN, KS, MI, MO, OH, PA, VA, WI, and WY). We also had the marvelous opportunity to speak several times over Zoom in Canada.

~We were blessed to deliver 175 sermons.

~We rejoice greatly over 5 individual professions of faith in Christ.

~We were greatly encouraged with the news of 5 new weekly or monthly supporters.

~We were also encouraged with the news of increased support from 2 different supporters.

~We were blessed with 7 different “tent making” opportunities to help meet financial needs.

~We were blessed with a fairly healthy year, BUT we were sick a few extra times. We rejoice in God’s allowance for recovery. This lends to more fervent prayers for future health that we may serve without sickness for the glory of God.

As we look ahead at 2022, we continue with the same ministry philosophy for our calendar of events: "...if the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that" (James 4:15), and "Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." (Proverbs 27:1)

With that restated, note the following rejoice points as we look ahead at our 2022 calendar:

~We rejoice over 16 events that are already scheduled. This is more than any previous year before the start of a new year. 15 events are with familiar churches. 1 church is brand new.

~We have a unique scheduling of a month-long ministry opportunity with a church in Florida late-January through mid-February.

~We are currently scheduled to be in AK, FL, IL, KS, MI, and WY.

~We have a few more “tent making” opportunities formulating in IL and AK.

Last, but certainly not least, here are our major prayer requests for 2022:

~Souls saved - John 20:31

~Revival stirred - Habakkuk 3:2

~Hard hearts made tender - Hosea 10:12
