A Heart For Revival’s Ministry Update


***In January of 2025, personal giving reports were sent out by email (if you give online) and mail (if you don’t give online). If you did not receive your giving report for 2024, please reach out and we get it to you asap.***


Current Support Level: 40%

God Is So Good!

Psalm 31:19 “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!”


This newsletter theme has been utilized many times, but the reality of it always brings great joy to our hearts as we rejoice over all that God has accomplished. Remember to praise Him for His abundant goodness in your life!


During our start to 2025, God has been so good to us in the following ways (there is no way we can list every point of God’s goodness, but here are a few highlights):

  • Day 63 of our remodel (February 14th) was moving day! We praise the Lord for safety, provisions, and for the many hands throughout the remodel that allowed us to complete this big task. God bless you!

  • Concerning support, we must report of more loss due to those who needed to temporarily postpone giving. Our monthly support level is right around 40%. The Lord’s goodness continues to be revealed in His great ability to provide for us. We are trusting Him for His provisions, and thank all our current supporters for your grace upon us. God bless you!

  • We’ve only had three events since the kick off of 2025 due to our season of rest planned for January, but God encouraged our hearts greatly with the receptiveness of the hearers during each event. May God continue to give listening ears and responsive actions to the delivery of His Word!

  • We were blessed to celebrate (though during sickness) Lydia’s 8th birthday. She continues to grow into a beautiful young lady for the Lord. Please continue to pray with us for Lydia’s heart and life to please the Lord in all things. What could God do with a young lady totally surrendered to the will of the LORD?

  • God has also been good to give health after sicknesses. We had to cancel a meeting and take Rachel to the ER due to intense abdominal pain. We rejoice that currently all things are better, but please pray for Rachel’s complete healing and strength to be regained.

  • We are rejoicing in God’s goodness over our quickly upcoming travel plans and revival meetings, and they are as follows:

-Eagle Pass, Texas

-Granby, Colorado

-Greenfield, Missouri

-Freeport, Florida

-Goldsborough, North Carolina

All this travel will bring us to home again on April 1st. At that point we will prepare for a wonderful milestone celebration of Rachel’s 40th birthday with a fiesta theme. You are invited and more than welcome to join us. If you would like to attend, please reach out for timing details and to RSVP. 

Also, due to our travels, the next newsletter will not get into the mail until early April. 


Please pray with us for:

  • Good health and rest as we travel

  • A good spring semester

  • Ministry support level to increase

  • Souls to be saved and revived according to God’s goodness


As we close this update, please know we are so grateful for your love, support and faithfulness. To God be the glory!


Justyn, Rachel, & Lydia Smith 

Proverbs 3:5-6

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...

June 2022 || Ministry Update

  A Heart For Revival Ministries PRINT THIS UPDATE June 30th, 2022 Dear Family and Friends, AN UNEXPECTED BLESSING IN FAIRBANKS, ALASKA… During the first day of our Fairbanks trip this June, we stopped for a bite at an Arby’s in Fairbanks, AK for lunch. Three career men from the Phoenix Air Guard were behind me in uniform on a “mission.” The Lord prompted me to ask if they would allow me to purchase their meals as an expression of gratitude for their sacrifices and services to our country. They allowed me to do so. They were grateful. They gave us one of their patches. We enjoyed meeting them, and they were so kind to our family in conversation as we were awaiting our meals. After our food came, we had prayer together for them, their upcoming mission and their families. Then, we parted ways. What great guys. We are thankful for our military! But…that’s not the end of the story…A couple hours after this event, I was checking on ministry business and discovered one of men (whose Da...

Dear Family and Friends, THE JOY OF THE LORD IS  CONTAGIOUS! May God grant you (and may you choose) a joy filled 2021! Phil. 4:4 Our 2021 ministry has been blessed beyond measure by our precious Lord!  As one of our friends from Rantoul, IL says, “We are blessed by the BEST!” Our hearts are full, and we desire to move forward choosing “FAITH OVER FEAR.” We are rejoicing over many blessings to report, but, first, thank you for your faithful prayers, love and support. We pray you will enjoy catching up with our endeavors for revival to be stirred and for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. HERE ARE THE BIGGEST REJOICE POINTS SINCE OUR LAST UPDATE: (We still plan to do monthly updates, but with the nature of our ministry travels this quarter this is our first report this year. ) 1. GOD HAS BLESSED BY PROVIDING EVENTS! Concerning the filling of our schedule, our philosophy has always been "...if the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that...” and since our January 2021 video update...
