Justyn Smith • A Heart For Revival

God absolutely blessed our week in Arnold, MO! One of the unique blessings of this week was being able to be with a family that was part of Crossroads Baptist Church when I pastored. They have since moved to the Arnold area and are faithful at this particular church. We enjoyed great fellowship together, but most of all God Saved two precious souls and gave us a sweet spirit during the meeting.  We are eagerly anticipating the next time we get to see everyone! Here are a few pics from the week: Walking hand in hand to the Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch. A shot of St. Louis from the top of the arch. We are in the transportation pod heading to the top of the arch! We got a picture with the Leach Family! What a blessing to preach in Chapel. They children listened so well! I was honored to preach to a great congregation of saints who were so sensitive to the Word. Praise the Lord for Pastor Blaine who faithfully preaches God’s Word from behind this pulpit! The Mighty Mississippi is in...

It’s always special when you get to serve the Lord with a college classmate. Pastor Dan Patrick, his family, and his church family are doing a wonderful job ministering around the Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania area. It was a blessing to come along side with them again this year!

A somewhat last minute trip to Alaska came up and we jumped on the opportunity. This whole trip was designed to surprise a youth pastor in Fairbanks, Alaska for faithfully serving for 20 years as a youth pastor. My girls couldn’t go due to how fast the trip and turn around times were, but it was a blessing to get to visit Alaska again so soon. Here are some pics to recap the trip: Denali and view from the air! A beautiful Alaskan day in the valley. On my way to Glennallen from Palmer to preach God‘s word! One of the games we played to surprise the Youth Pastor was called “the price is exactly right.” He is sitting on one of the gifts the people blessed him with! Another beautiful Alaska travel day! I had the privilege of going to the Alaska State Fair with my sister-in-law, my niece and my two nephews! I enjoyed laying the dining room floor flowing from the kitchen that was remodeled in July. I also got to install a sink and a dishwasher at another location. It was a busy but blessed t...

We had a wonderful week at Marquette Manor Baptist Church! They invited us to preach and sing during they are school connections week which prepares the students for the school year for a spiritual perspective. It was a blast getting to know the students and getting to spend some time with them outside of a chapel setting.  Here are a few pictures from the week to rejoice over: We always enjoy traveling as a family! Somehow at least one chair was involved in almost every chapel service. 😂 Praise the Lord for simple illustrations! We enjoyed many activities with the teens. This one is from their lake day trip. We had a blast! Preachers have fun too! 😉 Lake day pic with Bro Micah Potter!!! We meet so many wonderful people this week…thank you for the invite and for the opportunity to enjoy each day with you. And to those keeping up with our ministry travels, thank you for doing so. All our love!

We had a great week in with my former assistant pastor and his family. They are now pastoring a wonderful church body in Lodi, Wisconsin. I’m sure they would welcome any prayers you wish to lift on their behalf as they embark on this wonderful journey. Here are some pics from the week: Foam machine fun during VBS. Great golf outing with Bro. Moses and Pastor James! Beautiful job on the decor! Lake trip with the Schneider Family. The children listened so well! We got to witness Bella’s baptism! Pastor James doing a great job leading the children’s songs. Another Foam Machine pose during VBS. Zoo day! The children listened well during each service. Lydia and Bella enjoying a little decorating. Zoo day pic! Thank you for keeping up with our ministry travels. God bless you and thank you for the prayers!

This trip was not a planned trip at the start of this year. In fact, we weren’t planning on going up to Alaska until Christmas. God had other plans! Here are some pics to recap our July Alaskan adventures: I was honored to renovate Rachel’s Uncle’s kitchen! This is a before and after picture. It was great to stop in and hear Pastor Wes preach at His Servant’s youth camp! We had a great youth event under the tent in Homer, Alaska! Many teens from Homer were present-along with teens from Fairfax Baptist Temple in Virginia. Praise the Lord each of them! Lydia enjoying a trip to the Homer Spit…beautiful! The Smith ladies enjoying an Alaskan lake day! Thank you to everyone who keeps up with our travels and prayers for each event…God bless you!
