HAPPY IN THE LORD
Psalm 144:15 proclaims, “Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.” As I sit down to type another newsletter, I’m reminded of how happy we are in the LORD because our “God is the LORD.” We don’t serve little “g” gods made by the hands of man, but we serve the one true God who is LORD of all. All praise to His wonderful name!
We are Happy in the LORD in the following ways since our last newsletter:
We are happy the Lord has blessed us with 11 new ministry events added to our schedule.
We are happy the Lord has blessed us with the completion of Rachel’s third CD. You may order any of her CD’s on our website, or you can listen to them via your favorite streaming app. Her newest album should be on digital platforms in a month or so.
We are happy the Lord has blessed us with a nearly full schedule for 2024. Our next year is filling up faster than prior years and 2026 is starting to receiving some bookings as well.
We are happy the Lord has blessed us with wonderful meetings. In July and August, we were blessed to visit and serve the LORD in Tennessee, Zoom in Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Alaska, Arizona, Illinois and Kansas. As of the writing of this letter, we are looking to conclude our August ministry in Vancouver, Canada. We had wonderful meetings and ministry opportunities in each of these states which included three unique opportunities: 1. Delivering the Gospel to over 17 teams at a golf outing, 2. Speaking at a funeral service, and 3. Baptizing a new convert during one of our revivals where the church is currently looking for a pastor. Your prayers for safety and God’s help in serving have been experienced, and we are grateful!
We are happy the Lord has blessed by lowering our monthly support need. This is due to Rachel being hired by the Academy of Excellence. She has the oversight of second graders and part of her job is to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ as much as possible during her time on remote calls with the students. We praise the Lord for this wonderful opportunity. Therefore, our new ministry support percentage is: 86%. God is so good! Please continue to pray with us for God’s provisions, and “thank you” to all our faithful monthly supporters. Your giving helps us to go so others may hear the good news of Jesus Christ.
Please pray with us for:
Health
God’s evident working in each event (view below)
Safety across the many miles
Ministry support level to increase
