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.)

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
