April 2022 || Ministry Update

April 28th, 2022



Dear Family and Friends,

Print The April Update
GOD IS OUR GREAT PROVIDER!

Psalm 34:8-10 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

REJOICE POINTS - APRIL 2022:
  • God provided with a sweet spirit in each of our April meetings. We were blessed to hold our first revival at Lighthouse Baptist in Lasalle, IL. (They surprised us with the wonderful announcement of their desire to support our ministry on the last day of the revival meeting. What a blessing!) We were blessed to fill the pulpit with our friends at Calvary Baptist in Canton, IL on Easter Sunday. We were further blessed by being able to preach on Zoom in British Columbia several times in the past month. (I absolutely love those opportunities!) We are currently preaching a week-long revival at Calvary Bible in Benton Harbor, MI where God is encouraging us greatly in fellowship with friends and in His Word!
  • God provided with an opportunity to visit Pensacola, FL for Rachel’s birthday. We had many opportunities to encourage friends and be encouraged by friends, plus Rachel is now working on arranging music for a Musical her friend is producing!
  • God provided with some extra gracious donations during April that have met needs right on time. As you can imagine, these gifts are answers to many prayers! One of the extra gifts was from a supporter who shared part of their work bonus with us. This kind of thoughtfulness is so humbling. THANK YOU to each of you…you know who you are!
  • God provided 3 new monthly supporters in April! That brings our overall support level to 55%. This is huge for the work of the ministry! This leads us to another word of gratitude about the consistency of our supporters. Your giving is a HUGE blessing to us and the work of the ministry. God bless you! (You can find out more about giving/support by visiting our website at: aheartforrevival.com.)
  • God provided 7 events to the schedule since our last newsletter.
UPCOMING EVENTS FOR MAY — JUNE: (Please pray for God’s strength and power.)

Three "Musts" For Missions Revival

  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 C...
