A Heart For Revival’s Ministry Update

*After the paper newsletter went out, we had to cancel our PA revival. That’s two revivals back to back. Please pray for good health and strength. We are grateful for each prayer that is lifted.

Current Support Level: 46%

To Every Thing There Is A Season 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…” 

We are grateful for the following seasons which are upon us:

  • A BUSY season: We apologize for the lack of newsletters recently, but we rejoice in the back to back, busy ministry schedule and all the Lord has done.

  • A soul saving season! We rejoice over three souls that have come to Christ, as well as many believers being stirred to live for God’s glory.

  • A short sick season (so far): Justyn had to cancel our North Carolina revival due to a severe cough. We are grateful for quick healing and are hopeful that the sicknesses are all passed for the winter.

  • A remodeling season: We are excited for the prospect of moving back into our house in Peoria, IL once we get all our projects completed. Pray for strength to accomplish these things in between our revival travels. 


More updates since our last newsletter:

  • The Lord has blessed us with 7 new ministry events added to our schedule.

  • The Lord has blessed us with additional love gifts.

  • The Lord is blessing our monthly support. We are currently at 46%. 

  • 2025 is filling up faster than in prior years and 2026 is starting to receive bookings as well. 


Please pray with us for:

  • Good health

  • God’s evident working in each event (view below)

  • Safety across the many miles

  • Ministry support level to increase

As we close this update:

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 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...

December 2019 || Ministry Update

Image
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...
