Praise the Lord, our little man is here!

Garrett Isaac Reed was born this morning, Dec 6, at 9:16am. He measured 20 inches and 7lbs, 8oz.

It was a longer labor than the last two children but, overall, a good delivery. Both Emma and Garrett are healthy and doing well.

Garrett - means brave, with a spear
Isaac - is a after the biblical story of God’s promises, testing of faith, and God’s miraculous deliverance (Jehovah Jirah)

A Quick Update:

This fall has been a very fruitful season. From the end of August till the beginning of October, we have had 7 weeks straight of revival meetings. We were in Illinois, Texas, Missouri, Minnesota, and Ohio. Each one has been unique an each one has been so meaningful.
We have heard testimony after testimony of God's work in folk's hearts during this fall. Praise be to God.

During the middle of September, my grandfather (on my mom's side) passed away. That meant we had to shorten one of our meetings so I could fly back to Maine for the funeral.

Upon returning and starting the next meeting, all 3 children came down with Hand, Foot, and Mouth. We were able to keep traveling but had to quarantine the kids for two weeks.

When in Ohio, a church gifted us a brand new set of times for our truck. That's 6 tires...a gift of about $2,500. Such a huge blessing!

God's Protection!
Just as we were getting ready to leave Ohio and head to our next meeting, we experienced the sovereign protection of God. We had the trailer all packed up, the kids in their car seats, and I was doing one final walk-around inspection of the trailer. I noticed one of my four trailer tires was worn in an unusual pattern. I got down to inspect it and realized one side of the tire had been worn right down to metal. If we had gotten on the interstate it would've blown within a couple hours. One of the men in the church owned a tire and auto shop in town. We brought the trailer to him and his guys began working on it. We found out that the "U" bolts that held the back axel and leaf springs together had come loose. (The only thing holding it all together was the weight of the fifth wheel.) They were able to replace the "U" bolts, realign the axel and leaf springs, and replace the tire within 4 hours. We missed the opening service for the retreat I was heading to, but God saved us from a surely catastrophic accident. If He hadn't shown me the tire problem, which lead to realizing the axel problem, we could have been in a terrible mess. The mechanic said, "Praise God you had a tire problem."
As I write this, we are finishing a scheduled rest week in Mount Joy, PA. It has been very refreshing to sit under preaching, be able to take my wife out on a date, and get caught up on work and sleep. (We also visited Chocolate World in Hershey, PA :)

Answers to Prayer:
1. Emma is at 32 weeks and doing well.
2. We found a birth center in Houston with which we are very pleased.
3. We found a place to park our trailer while we're home.

Prayer Need:
Would you pray with us that the Lord would make a way for us to buy a house in Houston? We have a realtor and we've been reapproved for a loan. Houston has an exceptional first-time-homebuyer program. We are currently in the process of applying for it. We need God to provide and direct us to the right house.

Thank you for your love and prayers for us!

~Several teens saved and at least one adult.
~Multiple spiritual breakthroughs in churches and individuals. (We've heard several testimonies of lasting impact after the revival meeting was over)

Challenges:

Prayer Request:
~Emma is expecting our 4th child, due Dec 8 (a little boy).

I serve a Risen (alive) Saviour! He is at work all around us and at work in us. I'm so thankful for that.
The Lord has been growing me this season in what my true identity is.
My identity is not "Preacher,"
or "Evangelist."
It is "A follower of Christ,"
"a Child of the King."

I want to continue to live out that simplicity and live to know and proclaim Jesus only.

The Reeds are Moving!

Over the last year and a half, the Lord has been stirring in our hearts the desire to be more intricately involved in the local church. According to Eph. 4, the gifting of the evangelist is given to the church to help equip it for Christ's mission. Because of our traveling schedule and the geographic location of our home church (Wisconsin), we've not been able to spend much time in the year back at our local church. (Living in an RV in January is not very feasible.)
My wife and I and my pastor have prayed much about this and have looked for God's leading. We have pursued several options, but the Lord has closed each door. It has not been easy. There has been much wrestling, soul searching, prayer, and seeking counsel. It has been an extended time of learning to wait on the Lord.
This past fall, the Lord started stirring our hearts about the state of Texas, and in December He laid a church on my heart. I've known of the church and pastor for several years and admired them from a distance, but I had been hoping a church would call us instead of me approaching them. I struggled with doubts, insecurities, and fears, but God kept pressing me forward. At times I felt like I was fighting through a bramble bush of emotions, but the Spirit kept saying, "Take another step."
After much prayer, I sat down with the pastor and presented what I believed the Lord was doing. His vision and our vision for ministry were aligned. His desires and our desires were aligned, his personality and ours meshed. After more prayer, the Lord confirmed this was His way for us to walk.

So last Sunday (March 9th), we officially joined Arise Baptist Church in Houston, TX and have taken on the role as their staff-evangelist. Pastor Will Cover and his wife Shandi have a passion for disciple-making, and we are excited to be joining them.

We will still be traveling in evangelism, but starting 2026, we are are going to be blocking out strategic weeks and months to be home in Houston involved at Arise.

We have intentionally spent the last 2.5 months in Houston to let the church get to know us and for us to get plugged in. We have already seen how the Lord is knitting our hearts with the church and using my gifting. I am so thankful for God's continual guidance and confirmation.

I will be eternally grateful for Falls Baptist Church in Wisconsin where we have based the last 5 years. I have gained so much and grown in the Lord while being there. This move is the next step in our growth journey.

Finances:
If you, or your church, have supported us financially, our new church will serve as our clearinghouse. We've updated the giving info on our website, including online giving. (You can view that here.) All physical checks can be sent to:

Prayer Request:
Would you pray with us for a physical, brick and mortar home...that doesn't have wheels?
For a year we have been praying for a city prepared for Gospel advance, a church prepared for us to help equip, and a neighborhood to live in that's prepared of God for us to reach. The Lord has lead to a city - Houston; a church - Arise; and we're waiting on Him for the neighborhood and home.

Thank you for your love and prayers for us!

A quick post to let people know what we're up to!

We spent our fall meetings in Texas, Tenneseee, Georgia, and Florida. We then stayed in Florida into December.

While we were down there, the Lord provided for us to replace our old trailer. We had discovered significant structural damage in the trailer. It had simply come to the end of its life and we'd been counseled to get rid of it.
After visiting several RV dealerships around the state, we found a trailer in Tampa that was perfect for our family. They accepted our old trailer on trade-in and gave us an incredible price. During our last meeting of the year, the church gave us a HUGE love offering! That offering gave us the final amount so we could buy the new trailer with cash.
We bought a 2025 Prime Time Sanibel by Forest River. It's a beautiful trailer! it's far nicer than we deserved, but the Lord is so kind!

We then flew to Maine for Christmas and spent about 2.5 weeks up there. It was good to be with family, even if we all got the stomach bug :)

We started the new year back in our favorite state - Texas. Winter is usually slow for us, but we had several meetings cancel for various reasons. That left us with only two scheduled meetings for all of Jan-March. After much prayer, we sensed the Lord wanted us to camp out in Houston. We've been trusting the Lord week to week and He has really provided in special ways. So far I've preached for 3 pastor in Houston and I have 3 more scheduled over the next two months in Texas and Louisiana. While we're here, we are getting involved at a church on the northwest side of the city.

Last week, Houston got hit with snow and cold, but we're back up in the 60's again. Don't you see why we love Texas?!
Thank you to those who pray for us. We need it continually. Will update soon.

Hello Friends! It's hard to believe September is here and almost gone. Fall is fast approaching so we'd like to give you an update on our summer. (Sorry, its been so long since I've posted on social media. I'm clearly not a good millennial :)

June was a packed month. We spent the first two weeks in Missouri. First at Faith Baptist Church in Raymore and the second at Victory Baptist in Albany. Both weeks were a delight. God worked in both meetings in their own unique ways. I am learning that no two weeks are alike. A particular highlight for me was joining with a small group of men from Faith Baptist for a small group discipleship bible study. Living and experiencing life together while boldly calling each other to follow Christ is true church life.

The last two weeks of June were spent at Freedom Bible Camp in southeast Iowa. I preached for a junior week and a teen week. There were several young people saved in those weeks. I believe the Lord worked especially among the teens. One young in particular told me that a relationship with Christ had never been made some clear to him. That is a work of the Spirit of God!

Just before camp started we experienced a new family adventure. After church on Sunday the 16th, Gilbert fell off the monkey bars and broke his arm. So I spent the rest of Father's Day in the hospital with him. After two appointments and a few X-rays, he had his very own cast to wear. Never a dull day :)

After camp we left for Colorado to start the month of July. I had one camp and one revival scheduled for the month, but that was it. A much lighter month was a blessing from the Lord, but I also didn't know what I was going to do with my open weeks. A pastor in Greeley, CO let us park at his church for a few days completely sight unseen. We then drove down to the west side of Denver and parked at Tri-City Baptist. That was of the Lord. They were a huge blessing to us during the month of July.
We took advantage of our open time and took a family vacation down in Colorado Springs as well as spending a day in Estes Park. That was very enjoyable and refreshing.
We then traveled up to Treasure Mountain Bible camp for a week of teen camp. The following week we helped Try-City with their VBS. We also fit in some mini golf for the family and multiple bike rides.

We left Colorado the end of July and headed up to Wyoming. I preached for a revival meeting in Farson, WY at Eden Valley Baptist. That week was very special for us. The church had been without a pastor for several years. I'd been out there twice in the last 4 years and prayed with them for a pastor. The Lord brought Jesse Greenwood and his family from Utah to be their pastor last year. We connected so well with them and thoroughly enjoyed our week. (Our kids didn't want to leave.)
The first two weeks of August were spent in Green River, WY and Guernsey, WY. In between those two weeks I took a quick trip back down to CO to preach for a College & Career retreat at Treasure Mountain. One young man had invited an unsaved friend from California. He flew all the way from CA for a 3 day weekend. During the retreat he trusted Christ!
The third week of August we started making our way back east with one Sunday in South Dakota and one Sunday in Illinois. We finished August back in Wisconsin where I preached for my home church's academy school camp.

Well that was a full update, yet there is so much more I wish I could write. Though June was full, the pace of the rest of the summer was so helpful. We were able to spend some quality time as a family and have really benefited from that. God has also taught us a lot this about "Waiting on the Lord." Waiting is a part of life because God designed it to be so. He wants to teach us to fully rely on him for each day's provision of joy and strength. As Andrew Murray says, "It's the greatest privilege of the believer." have you learned to "Wait on the Lord"?

It's been too long since I last posted, but I'll try and give an abbreviated update on our last 4 months.

After Gavin was born we headed south to escape the cold. We spent Thanksgiving in Fort Walton Beach, FL. We then drove to Louisiana where I spoke for a young adults retreat held at Southland Christian Camp. I didn't have anything else scheduled for the rest of December but the Lord opened up an opportunity to spend a couple weeks with a church in east Texas. We spent two weeks with Faith Baptist Church in kilore, TX and the Lord was all over it. We did some projects around the church, I preached a couple times, went to their Christmas party and spent many long breakfasts with the pastor. The Lord really knit our hearts to the church.

We spent Christmas in Waco with my grandfather and New Years in San Antonio with my sister and her family.
The first of the year we were in Cedar Hill doing a revival with Pastor Matt Wilkerson at Galilean Baptist Church. It was a very good week.
A cold front was forecasted to hit Texas with single digit temps so as soon as the meeting was over we raced for the gulf. We drove 4 hours south to Groves, TX where we hunkered down for about 4 days. When the temps came back up we drove to Houston and parked at Grace Baptist Church in Porter, TX. Pastor Paul was incredibly kind and gracious.
We then drove to Henderson, TX where I preached at West Main Baptist. The Lord gave us a very powerful Sunday with them. After the morning message the pastor opened up a time of honest sharing. Multiple people shared publicly their struggles and needs. We then gathered around for a time of prayer.

I then flew to PA for a Men's Retreat that the Lord was all over. For some reason I was utterly exhausted the entire weekend. Each service I felt so weary. The Lord lifted and several men gave testimony of the Spirit working deeply in their hearts.

I flew back to Texas for the 30th reunion at ALERT. We then started a revival back in Kilgore, TX.
The final two Sundays of February were spent in Vidor, TX. I preached for a church that was without a pastor and needed pulpit supply. We really enjoyed the time there. It was another 8 days that gave great evidence that the Lord was working in hearts.
We left Vidor Monday afternoon about 1:30pm and drove straight north to Wisconsin, arriving about 9:30am on Tuesday morning.

We'll be home for about 10 days, attending my brother-in-law's wedding in VA, then back out for our spring tour.
Many miles, many blessings. The Lord is so good.

The Lord has done a lot in our hearts over the last few months. Its been very exciting. More details to follow :)

He’s here!
Gavin Oswald Reed was born 11/8/23 at 2:32pm. It was quite a whirlwind delivery. Emma started having contractions at 11am, water broke at 1:15pm, we rushed to the birthing center and he was born at 2:32pm.
Emma and the little man are doing great!

Gavin means “God Sent” and Oswald means “Divine Power”. (Oswald is after Oswald Chambers - a preacher and writer that has significantly impacted me.)

So grateful to the Lord for another arrow to shape and send!
