September 2022 || Ministry Update


September 30th, 2022
Dear Family and Friends,
REJOICE POINTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2022
  LYDIA:
  • First Fish: Lydia caught her first fish with her Auntie Samantha this month. 
  • Tea Party: Lydia enjoyed many great opportunities with relatives and had a blast putting on a tea party with Daddy.
  • Bike Progress: September 2022 marks Lydia’s first month of starting and stopping all by herself. She’s enjoyed many 3 to 4 mile bike rides on our near by Rock Island trail when we’ve been home this month.
  • School: Homeschooling on the road is rolling along smoothly. Lydia loves it, and she recently had a new teacher for a few days…Daddy! They both enjoyed the opportunity to accomplish school work while Mommy worked on her music.
RACHEL:
Music Prep: Rachel, as arranger for the production, had a intensely busy, yet incredibly productive month transcribing the piano accompaniments into her music software program to create the sheet music for all 20 songs in the original, full-length, Broadway-style Christian musical Surrender. Rachel was greatly encouraged by how God helped her accomplish this daunting task. This production is continuing to gain interest as the news spreads. We are planning to stream this event for those that cannot attend locally, so stay tuned! We will notify you when it will be airing and where, via our various online platforms. Please continue to pray for God’s blessing on all aspects of this event which premieres October 28-29th in Pensacola, FL. See “Surrender the Musical” on FB or www.faithpromiseplayers.com for more information.
JUSTYN:
Gospel Golf Ball: I have had a gospel golf ball for sometime now, but I have recently felt led to step up my gospel golf ball game. I dedicated an entire day to creating a couple gospel golf ball videos to point people to when they are given (or find) one of these golf balls. The first video is a short video introducing the gospel golf ball. The second video is my hole in one story from 2018 and how it relates to the gospel of Jesus Christ. My hope is that golfers would receive the golf ball, visit the website and be encouraged to either trust Christ or have their walk with God strengthened. Please pray God will use this endeavor in a big way. You can view these videos by visiting: aheartforrevival.com/holeinone

NEW MEETINGS SCHEDULED:
The Lord provided 5 new events to our calendar including meetings in Illinois, Georgia, and British Columbia! 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.

ADDITIONAL GIFTS HELPED DURING A SLOWER FINANCIAL MONTH:
We were busy in the work of the ministry, but not every ministry opportunity comes with receiving a love offering. God has us do things “just because” regardless of the “income.” God is always faithful to provide. This month God greatly encouraged us through the thoughtful extra gifts of a couple different supporters and non-supporters. Thank you for being a blessing to us. 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.
