Dear Christian Friends,
Debbie and
I truly appreciate your continued prayers, love, and financial support for the
ministry and for us as we serve the Lord. Without the sustaining prayers, love,
and financial support of God's people we would not be able to continue pressing
forward as far as the cause of Christ is concerned.
We thank
the Lord for His daily provision and care. The Lord continues to supply exactly
what we need to serve Him. Please pray with us that God will provide the
$38,535.47 needed to pay off the debt on our motor home.
It is a joy
for us to let you know what the Lord is doing in our ministry.
What an
exciting year 2005 was in every way! It has been exciting to see God working in
our ministry. God has been blessing and we are thankful for all that He has
done. As we look forward to 2006, our prayer is that God would do even more in
our ministry than He did in the previous year. We look forward to the future
blessings that God Almighty has for us.
The Sunday
night meeting went well with Pastor Roy Tellier at Bethlehem Baptist Church in
Viroqua, Wisconsin.
We had good
meetings with Pastor Marlon Mielke at First Baptist Church in Milltown,
Wisconsin. God's people made life-changing decision to God's glory.
The
meetings went well with Dr. Robert Crane at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College in
Owatonna, Minnesota. I was so encouraged with the staff, faculty, and college
students. They were all very kind and a great blessing to me.
Pray for souls to be saved and for God to work in the hearts of His people.
Debbie and
I had a great time together with God's people during the week of meetings with
Pastor Don Adams at Grace Independent Baptist Church in Brodhead, Wisconsin.
God's people responded well to the preaching of His Word. The meetings were
well attended by church members and we had visitors every night.
The all-day
Sunday meetings went well with Pastor Lance Ketchum at Shepherd's Fold Baptist
Church in Hutchinson, Minnesota. A young lady received the Lord as her personal Saviour after the morning service. The congregation responded well, and God's
people were encouraged by the lady getting saved.
Thank you for praying for Debbie because of her appendectomy.
She has fully recovered from it and we are ever thankful for God’s goodness and
mercy.
The all-day
Sunday meetings went well with Pastor George Goss at Tri-County Baptist Church
in Elk River, Minnesota.
I enjoyed
our Wednesday night meeting with Pastor Dennis Campbell at Granite City Baptist
Church in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. God's people were blessed and challenged by
the message from God's Word.
I had a
good time with Pastor Michael Quirey and God's people at Grace Baptist Church in
Bristol, Indiana. They were happy to have me there to preach God's Word. When
the Word of God was preached, they were blessed and challenged by it.
Please pray that we see souls saved, and that we will be a
blessing to the pastor and God's people.
The meetings went well with Pastor Paul Hoover at Souls Harbor
Baptist Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We had good attendance by many being
faithful to all the services. God's people made life-changing decisions. No
one came forward during the invitation to receive the Lord as his or her Saviour,
but we did have one get saved during church visitation.
We enjoyed
our meetings with Pastor Larry Taylor at Grace Baptist Church in Sheboygan
Falls, Wisconsin. Many life-changing decisions were made by
God's people during the four-day meetings. The meetings were well
attended, and God's people were faithful and responded well to the preaching of
His Word.
We were encouraged by our week-long meetings with Pastor Phil Price at First
Baptist Church in Dennison, Illinois. The people were very friendly so it made
for a great week of meetings. God's people were faithful and responded well to
the preaching of God's Word. We had a young man receive Christ as his Saviour.
God's
people responded well to our week of meetings with Pastor Rob Spurgeon at
Calvary Baptist Church in Kaukauna, Wisconsin.
Our week of
meetings went well with Pastor Will Peterson at Coon Rapids Baptist Church in
Coon Rapids, Minnesota.
God's people
responded well to the preaching of His Word. Many decisions were made through
the week.
Please pray that God's people will make life-changing decisions
in the meetings, decisions that would bring honour and glory to Christ.
Our
four-day meeting went well with Pastor Mark Fugate at Bible Baptist Church in
Neillsville, Wisconsin. One came forward during the morning service to get
assurance of her salvation. Others dedicated their lives to Christ.
Our week of
meetings went well with Pastor Freddy McMillen at Park City Baptist Church in
Merrill, Wisconsin. During the week, God's people responded well to the

We were with Pastor Kenneth Walters at Southside Baptist Church in Rock Hill,
South Carolina. We thank the Lord for the spiritual decisions that were made by
several of God's people during the meetings.
We had several people saved in the morning service at Calvary Baptist Church in
Middleburg, Florida. Pastor Ken Pledger is the pastor.
Currently, we are in Tampa, Florida. It is our desire to spend quality time
with our daughter and grandkids in December and January.
To all of
you, Debbie and I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
as we head into 2006.
Thank you
again for your faithful prayers, love, and support towards our ministry and us.
It is our prayer that the Lord will bless you greatly as you seek to serve Him.
His
servants,
Norman and Debbie Stevens
