Dear Family and Friends,

BIG NEWS CONCERNING OUR SUV…

Brooke (named after God providing for Elijah when he was at the BROOK Cherith during uncertain times), is PAID OFF! Praise the Lord!
In the beginning of our vehicle need, God provided miraculously for us to almost pay for our RAV4 Hybrid in full in 2020, and God provided in a miraculous way this past month to allow us the opportunity to pay her off entirely! Hallelujah! You can imagine how this helps out tremendously as gas prices continue to rise. GOD is our great provider, whether we realize it or not. All glory to HIM! Remember to be faithful to God’s leading in your life…for as you give, God uses others to give in your direction. It’s called the law of sowing and reaping. This truth is revealed in Luke 6:38: "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
REJOICE POINTS - MAY 2022:
  • God provided for Brooke to be paid off. (It’s almost like gaining monthly supporters but in a different way!) This “pay off” removes a monthly financial burden! (Now for the house.) ;-)
  • God blessed with a sweet spirit in each of our events since our April newsletter. We were blessed to hold our fourth annual revival at Calvary in Benton Harbor, MI. We were blessed to fill the pulpit for three weeks at Calvary in Lebanon, NH. We had the wonderful opportunity of speaking for a Christian school fundraiser at Prairie in Scotts, MI. We were thankful for the opportunity to speak at Camp Joy during their training camp to encourage the summer staff in trusting God for a wonderful summer. We had a short visit to Marquette Manor Baptist Academy to attend and speak at their High School Graduation service. We were blessed by being able to preach via Zoom in British Columbia. We were further blessed to fill the pulpit on behalf of our home church and pastor in Princeville, IL. We praise the Lord for each of these churches and experiences in which the Lord has allowed us to minister. We can’t wait to see what the Lord will continue to fulfill!
  • God added 14 events to the schedule since our last newsletter.
  • God gave great fellowship with familiar friends as well as the opportunity to meet new friends. We are grateful!
  • God allowed a believer at one of our revival meetings the insight and gracious spirit to purchase our return flights from Alaska this summer. This was a huge financial blessing!
UPCOMING EVENTS FOR JUNE — JULY: (Please pray for God’s strength and power.)
  • June 5-9 Illinois: Victory Baptist-New Milford
  • June 12 Alaska: Bible Baptist-Fairbanks (Attending To Visit Friends)
  • June 15 Alaska: Valley Baptist Tabernacle-Palmer (Pulpit Supply)
  • June 18 British Columbia: Harvest Baptist-Langley (Zoom)

In conclusion: Thank you for being interested in what God is doing with A Heart For Revival Ministries. Thank you for praying for our family.
We wish you God speed and great love,
Justyn, Rachel, & Lydia Smith ~Proverbs 3:5-6~

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
