SEPTEMBER UPDATE 

May the Lord give revival and souls saved. Thank you for your prayers.

September 15th, 2025 

Dear Family and Friends,


Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 2 Corinthians 11:28


We can’t relate to many of the afflictions that Paul experienced, but we can relate to “the care of all the churches” toward us in our need. Thank you for caring for our family so well. We worked through health struggles, and were blessed to serve the Lord in Wisconsin and twice in Kansas in August. Each Sunday and each revival service was greatly blessed, along with the opportunity to officiate a very sweet wedding. We are thanking the Lord for His help in each of these services, for without Him we can do nothing.


At the time of this typing, we were originally scheduled to be in Mexico and then Arizona for a revival, but God had other plans for us. He has allowed some much needed recovery time as I attempt to figure out little more concerning my health. We certainly missed being with friends in Mexico and Arizona, but we will look forward to the next opportunity as the Lord allows. Currently, my health is doing very well. Overall strength and endurance seems to be back in full swing. 


In the present time, we are grateful that Crossroads Baptist Church reached out and allowed us to come serve the Lord with them while we had a "home stretch." Our Sunday with them on September 14th was wonderful, and we are excited about a baptism next week as we serve at Crossroads for a second Sunday in a row.

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...

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...
