Dear Family and Friends,

AN UNEXPECTED BLESSING IN FAIRBANKS, ALASKA…
During the first day of our Fairbanks trip this June, we stopped for a bite at an Arby’s in Fairbanks, AK for lunch.
Three career men from the Phoenix Air Guard were behind me in uniform on a “mission.” The Lord prompted me to ask if they would allow me to purchase their meals as an expression of gratitude for their sacrifices and services to our country. They allowed me to do so. They were grateful. They gave us one of their patches. We enjoyed meeting them, and they were so kind to our family in conversation as we were awaiting our meals. After our food came, we had prayer together for them, their upcoming mission and their families. Then, we parted ways. What great guys. We are thankful for our military!

But…that’s not the end of the story…A couple hours after this event, I was checking on ministry business and discovered one of men (whose Dad is a retired pastor) took the opportunity to look up our ministry’s website and bless us in return with a $500 donation through our online giving platform. God is so good!
There were tears of joy for this unexpected “give and it shall be given unto you” blessing. 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 FOR JUNE 2022:
  • God saved two souls and worked greatly on others during the camp meeting we were blessed to be a part of in Rockford, IL. Praise the Lord for how everyone came together to care for the work of the ministry during this week of preaching, singing, meal prep and fellowship. We are excited for next year.
  • God provided with a new supporter. Thank you Victory Baptist Church in Rockford, IL. We are so grateful for the partnership in the work of the ministry.
  • God added 3 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 has allowed the physical strength to fulfill small side jobs in Alaska. We are grateful of each of these opportunities.
UPCOMING EVENTS FOR JULY — AUGUST: (Please pray for God’s strength and power.)
  • July 3 Alaska: Resurrection Bay Baptist-Seward
  • July 6 Alaska: Valley Baptist Tabernacle-Palmer (Pulpit Supply)
  • July 10 Alaska: Birch Harbor Baptist-Wasilla

We wish you God speed and great love,
Justyn, Rachel, & Lydia Smith

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. Let me list them so you can help us all be ready for a great missions revival this week! I. We must be  Pure !  There's no need for us to wait for tonight to "get things in order spiritually." Get them in order now. Let's search our hearts and our lives. We'll find out the meeting will be "that much better" if we are where we need to be spiritually, which is, in right standing before God with no deceitful...

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!
