because of your faithful prayers. We are thankful for faithful friends who
uphold us with prayer and financial support.

What a delight
it was to be with Pastor Bill Redmond at Trinity Baptist Church in Statesville,

open the eyes of people who have attended.

preaching of God's Word; and as a result of that, there were life-changing
decisions. During their school chapel on Monday, I had the privilege of
preaching to the kindergarten through 6th grade. A young boy by the name of
Brady came forward after the service to get assurance of his salvation. A few
hours later a girl by the name of Rebecca asked her teach if she could talk to
Evangelist Stevens about her need to be saved. I had the privilege of leading
Rebecca to Christ. She got saved. On Wednesday night, we had a lady by the name
of Jean come forward during the invitation to receive Christ as her personal Saviour. Praise the Lord! The meetings were well attended and God greatly
blessed.

which we praise the Lord!

win the lost.

that the Lord will bless you while serving Him in 2005.
Love in Christ,
Norman & Debbie Stevens
