"New Life" was the name selected when the Miami and the Picher, Oklahoma congregations combined a few months ago. Pastor Casey, wife Cynthia and 5 month old son Grayson Hollingsworth are being used of God to lead the congregation to great days ahead. Their people were warm and friendly. As they hungered for the truth of God's word many had their needs met. God revived His people to a new level of vision and commitment. It doesn't matter how many revivals I've conducted, I never cease to be amazed at how God works where people are open and obedient to His leading. It was a privilege to serve them and the song writer expresses it best, "To God be the glory great things He has done.
Parkview Church of the Nazarene - Fairview Heights, IL - Duane Smith's ministry to the Parkview Church was excellent. His messages were relevant, challenging and thought-provoking. He is not a whiz-bang fire-breathing preacher. He simply lays the truth of the scriptures before the people in a convincing way that forces the listener to reflect and respond. He clearly allows the Holy Spirit to do the heart work. Duane also made it a point to connect with EVERYONE, from the young child to the teen, and on to the Sr. adult. He brings the whole package, singing, leading the congregation in song and preparing them for the message. Finally, Duane and Ruth are sociable people. They are happy to mix with the people in church and over a meal. I recommend Duane Smith for a series of services. - Jay Shoff, Pastor.
A 12 Years Old From Augusta, Kansas - Hi. I just wish you and Rev. Smith could come and preach to us every night and I wish we could have revival every night because it really touched me. You can tell Duane that if you want I will right him sometime. I really like the song he sang, “He’s still in the fire” and he sings it really good. I wish you guys did not have to leave tomorrow. I wish I could just go to revival every night and have him touch me by Gods will. I really thought he had a good idea about the teen choir surround sound thing and it was really fun, but it was mostly fun because we were doing it for God. I know you guys have to go to Arkansas and touch other people like you guys touched me, and I know it is part of being an evangelist. I hope I will see you guys again sometime, but at least we can stay in touch by e-mail, so I hope you have fun traveling to Arkansas tomorrow. - A 12 yr. old from Augusta, Kansas.

In this revival we have had children, teens and adults respond to the invitation finding victory at an altar of prayer. As a concerned pastor for revival, I thank God for a team like Duane and Ruth Smith. They are neat in appearance, positive in attitude and very congenial among the people.

The revival was in October, and is it any wonder that the altars were lined in every service with young and old alike finding help." Large number of teens had recently started attending and they were very attentive, receptive and open to the truth of God's Word. Is it any wonder that many of their lives were changed by their obedience as the Spirit of God moved throughout the week. This was our second time to work with Pastor Kilpatrick at the Cambrian Park Church of the Nazarene in San Jose, CA and both times we found the congregation to be some of the friendliest, sincere and eager people to preach to and have revival. To God be all the glory for the great things He did. - Evangelist Duane Smith .
Vidor, Tx Church of the Nazarene - Just a quick note this evening to let you know that the revival fires are still burning! God certainly used you in a mighty way as you labored among us. I know many churches our size wonder if they can have revival services due to cost, etc. I'd like to share this with them, "Yes! You can!" Here is what we do. I, along with the church board directed the church treasurer to put everything that comes in as "loose offering" into a revival fund. All of our people know this, and it is like Faith Promise, except it is for Revival. They give a little each week and this enables us to give a decent offering to the laborer in the vineyard. Thanks again for including Vidor, Tx in your schedule. We hope to see you again in a few years. - Dennis Knight, Pastor.

Duane Smith throughout the revival supported the emphasis of each sermon and prepared minds and hearts for the holiness messages that were biblically based, relevant, clearly from God and presented in such a way to help each listener understand and reflect upon their own spiritual situation.
