MAY WE CHOOSE GRATEFUL HEARTS


Psalm 100:4 reads, “…be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” We need a reviving of grateful hearts. May God grant us the wonderful rejoicing that takes place within because we have purposed to come before Him with thanksgiving. Our family is thankful for YOU. We are blessed beyond measure for the many wonderful memories that God has given us with so many of you, and to that note, we are looking forward to making many more memories for God’s glory as He allows.


HERE ARE A FEW REJOICE POINTS SINCE OUR LAST NEWSLETTER ON OCTOBER 17TH:

  • We are rejoicing over wonderful ministry opportunities: We were honored to preach revival services, sing and fellowship with our friends and family at Crossroads Baptist Church in Peoria, IL. It was a blessing to be back on ZOOM in Canada for two different revival stretches, and as always it was good to be with our friends in, Pounding Mill, VA, Kewanee, IL and Belleville, IL. God has been so good to give us a busy calendar and continued open doors for ministry.

  • We are rejoicing over the addition of 6 new events to the calendar. We are excited to see how the Lord continues to build our 2024 schedule.

  • We are rejoicing over one new supporter. Our current support level is 48%.

  • We are rejoicing over two big additional one time donations to aid in the work of the ministry. One of the gifts was from our friends at Lifepointe Baptist Church in Lodi, WI. They spontaneously blessed us with a 5k “seed fund” gift considering the future need of replacing our vehicle. Praise the Lord for this and every generous gift that has been given. Thank you. Each of you are a huge help and blessing to the work the Lord has called us to do.

  • We are rejoicing over receiving Rachel’s NEW CD. We are grateful for each one who has already purchased some of these CDs and given over and above to help Rachel get back to the recording studio again soon. If you would like to purchase any of these CDs before we see you in person, please reach out and we will work out the details.

The Spiritual Change We Need

  The Spiritual Change We Need We are in desperate need of a spiritual change...thankfully we have a God with open arms and a plan to come to Him! Let me recap the messages we recently heard on this most powerful topic.  Each message began with a congregational reading from Psalm 23:1-6: "(A Psalm of David.) The LORD  is  my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou  art  with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." First, we learned of Spiritual Conversion. You can listen to...

7 Things I’m Thankful For This Thanksgiving

  7 Things I’m Thankful For This Thanksgiving Today, we will be stuffed with thanksgiving wishes from every avenue of social media, email, and text. We will hear these wishes on the radio. We will hear them from our friends. Some will get tired of the constant thanksgiving wishes, and others will pipe in on the thanksgiving wishes melody, but what if all the thanksgiving wishes actually motivated us to pause for a moment and simply give thanks today? This would be a life changer, and that is why I am typing this record. As a Child of God, Husband, and Preacher, I would like to take a moment to go on the record and give thanks for 7 things that I never want to take for granted. The seven things I’m Thankful for this Thanksgiving are as follows:  1. I’m thankful for salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord , for without it I would be lost and undone in my sin and on my way to hell. God has been so good to save a sinner like me!  I need to give the Gospel out more often, more...

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...
