July 2022 || Ministry Update  Print This Update Here July 31st, 2022 Dear Family and Friends, PROMISE OF NEW SUPPORT! Shortly after our last newsletter was posted, I was driving down the Palmer-Wasilla Highway in Alaska. I came across a lady who was carrying a gas can and walking toward the nearest gas station. The Lord gave me the opportunity to pick her up and speak with her about the Lord. When we arrived at the gas station, the Lord prompted me to pay for and fill up her gas can. After returning her to her vehicle, the Lord reassured me I had done His work in that moment of opportunity…but that’s not the end of the story…  A couple hours later, Rachel relayed to me a conversation she’d had with a sweet couple from Indiana. They stated their desire to take us on for monthly support through the end of 2022! When I heard the news of support, I passed on the gas station story to Rachel. We thanked the Lord, and we rejoiced again over Luke 6:38 which promises, ” Give, and it ...

  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...

  Current support level: 55% Printable Version May 31st, 2022 Dear Family and Friends, BIG NEWS CONCERNING OUR SUV… Brooke (named after God providing for Elijah when he was at the BROOK Cherith during uncertain times), is PAID OFF! Praise the Lord! In the beginning of our vehicle need, God provided miraculously for us to almost pay for our RAV4 Hybrid in full in 2020, and God provided in a miraculous way this past month to allow us the opportunity to pay her off entirely! Hallelujah! You can imagine how this helps out tremendously as gas prices continue to rise. GOD is our great provider, whether we realize it or not. All glory to HIM! Remember to be faithful to God’s leading in your life…for as you give, God uses others to give in your direction. It’s called the law of sowing and reaping. This truth is revealed in Luke 6:38: "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same m...

April 28th, 2022 Dear Family and Friends, Print The April Update GOD IS OUR GREAT PROVIDER! Psalm 34:8-10 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. REJOICE POINTS - APRIL 2022: God provided with a sweet spirit in each of our April meetings. We were blessed to hold our first revival at Lighthouse Baptist in Lasalle, IL. (They surprised us with the wonderful announcement of their desire to support our ministry on the last day of the revival meeting. What a blessing!) We were blessed to fill the pulpit with our friends at Calvary Baptist in Canton, IL on Easter Sunday. We were further blessed by being able to preach on Zoom in British Columbia several times in the past month. (I absolutely love those opportunities!) We are currently preaching a week-long revival at Calvary Bi...
