Justyn Smith • A Heart For Revival

Dear  Family and Friends, OUR SUMMER UPDATE is finally ready as we are back in our home and resting up for the next “busy” stretch of traveling! We are rejoicing over a wonderful Summer in the ministry! Thank you for your faithful prayers, love and support. God is using you and your prayers, and we want to let you know a few of those ways within this letter. REJOICE POINTS: God greatly blessed our Alaska trip!  We were extremely blessed to preach and sing with many churches from E1 (Our first time in Evangelism) and a couple brand new (to us) churches. (We could share grand highlights from each meeting, but we don’t have room within this letter.) We are excited to revisit many of these churches during our upcoming Winter 2019-2020 and Spring 2020 Alaska schedule! We had a wonderful time with Rachel’s family while in Alaska, as well! God gave us 13 more meetings! 8  in 2019 taking the total meeting count for 2019 to  43 , and  5  in 2020 taking the 2020 meet...

Dear Family and Friends, We are rejoicing over a wonderful April! Thank you for your faithful prayers, love and support. God is using you and your prayers, and we want to let you know a few of those ways within this letter. REJOICE POINTS: God greatly blessed our meetings in Pana, IL and Benton Harbor, MI!  We were extremely blessed to meet each church family and are looking forward to our next meetings with them! Another Pastor that attended the MI meeting scheduled a 2020 meeting with us. That’s always encouraging! (I wish there were room to share all the blessings of these meetings.) God gave us 1 more supporter!  This brings us to 10 total supporters and 20% of our current prayer goal! It has truly been exciting to watch God answer specific prayers for support. The monthly support we receive will allow us to do more for each local church without being a financial burden to them. (Learn about our idea of “Momentum Revivals” online.) God gave us 10 more meetings!  4 in ...

January 28th, 2019 Dear Friends and Family, HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND MAY GOD USE US ALL FOR HIS GLORY! We can't thank you enough for your compassionate prayers and God bless you all! A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM JANUARY PICTURES: 1. Our first board meeting for A Heart For Revival Ministries was held on January 2nd, 2019. We are excited for the vision of this ministry as we labor for the cause of the Lord in Revival and Evangelism!  2. Our first Revival Night at Princeville Baptist Church was blessed with 60 in attendance! Pictured are all but one who attended from Crossroads.  3. We enjoyed some good fellowship with some of the Crossroads family who had completed their Bible reading in 2018. We called it, “Meat From The Master = Meat From The Pastor.” It was encouraging to hear all the testimonies of reading the Bible through last year!  4. Pastor Nutzhorn and Faith Baptist in Toulon blessed with us with an opportunity to fellowship with them and preach for them on January 23rd. Rach...

December  21st, 2018 Dear Friends and Family, MERRY CHRISTMAS! We are grateful for all the love and support that has been directed our way. We can't thank you enough for your compassionate prayers and encouraging words! Stepping out in total faith has its patient waiting, but God knows exactly what He is doing and how He desires to use us! We invite you to visit our website and download our revival app. The Lord has allowed us the continued use of technology for the promotion of His Word. You can find short Bible challenges, daily podcasts that move chapter by chapter through the Bible, our yearly calendar, and many other encouraging revival insights by visiting our website and app. While in this transition period, Rachel continues to teach piano and choir a few days a week, Lydia is enjoying everything about life (it's amazing how fast they grow and learn things), and I am keeping busy praying and preparing messages for upcoming meetings/podcasts and recording/promoting the Wo...

  Thanksgiving In India Thanksgiving In India It was November 25th, 2010, and the Tesseneers (our missionary friends to India) and our Indian friend were wonderful hosts! Thanksgiving looked different for us that year. ->We weren’t around blood family (and we missed them), but we were around God’s family! ->We didn’t have turkey, but we had food! ->We weren’t in America, but we were in India! I am reminded of 3 points to chew on as I think about that Thanksgiving Day 8 years ago: I. To REJOICE! We rejoiced to see the mission-field of India where God was and still is doing a great work. We were honored to rejoice in God's goodness with our missionary friends and newly found Indian friends. We enjoyed BBQ-ed Chicken roasted over the fire. We prayed together, sang together and enjoyed great fellowship in the Bible College's Living Quarters. ->Take a moment to look around at all that you have-your friends and family, your material possessions and even the money you may ...
