August 2022 || Ministry Update



August 31st, 2022
Dear Family and Friends,





REJOICE POINTS FOR AUGUST 2022
SUPPORT LEVELS INCREASED:
Shortly after our last newsletter was posted, one of our current supporters raised their monthly support $25. This, along with the reception of a new supporter has brought our monthly support level back to 55.5%. We are so grateful for every giver’s faithful support. Please pray that God would continue to lay A Heart For Revival Ministries upon individuals and church’s hearts so that we can see greater support levels come in to aid in the work of the ministry the Lord has led us to accomplish.
NEW MEETINGS SCHEDULED:
The Lord provided 3 new events to our calendar for 2023: a Couple’s Retreat this February at Camp Joy and two Revival meetings. We are thrilled for Pastors and churches who still desire to hold special meetings. If our family can be of assistance, please be sure to reach out in advance as our schedule continues to fill according to God’s leading.
RECAP OF OPPORTUNITIES IN AUGUST:
• Music Prep in Florida Rachel, as arranger for the production, had a great week of creating the piano accompaniment for all 20 songs in the original, full-length, Broadway-style Christian musical Surrender. Rachel was greatly encouraged by how God helped her team accomplish so many goals in one week’s time. This production is continuing to gain interest as the news spreads. We are planning to live stream this event, so stay tuned! We will notify you when it will be airing and where, via our various online platforms and in our next newsletter. Please continue to pray for God’s blessing on all aspects of this event which premieres this October in Pensacola, FL. See “Surrender the Musical” on FB or www.faithpromiseplayers.com for more information. 
• Side Jobs: It was a huge blessing to have a couple different side jobs this month. It always amazes us how God provides for our family through unique gifts or random job opportunities. God is so good!
• VBS in Wisconsin: It was great to be at LifePointe Baptist in Lodi, WI for VBS and a Sunday. It was a joy to not only see the church growing but to also see twice as many children come out for VBS this year! The church came together as a wonderful team to accomplish a great VBS. The Lord also blessed and encouraged us with many parents coming out for the last night of VBS. It was a blessing to be a part of this event!
• Revival in Kansas: The Lord directed and helped us greatly during our most recent revival here in Kansas. As I type this update, I’m rejoicing over the sweet spirit and sensitive hearts the people had for God’s Word this week. We are always greatly encouraged when God’s people show forth a renewed love and zeal for things of God. To God be the glory, and may we handle the holy things with great care.

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...
