Dear Christian Friends,
Once again, it's time to
share with God's people what the Lord is doing in our ministry. We are
excited to see how the Lord has answered our prayers that we see more people
saved in our meetings. We know of several who have made professions of faith
in Christ, and a countless number of God's people who have made various
decisions to live for the Lord Jesus Christ. It is exciting to see the Spirit
of God at work in our meetings.
Pray that the Lord will continue to open
the doors of ministry. Pray for week meetings. Pray for Sunday through
Wednesday, or Wednesday through Sunday meetings. Pray that we will be a
blessing as well as an encouragement to the pastors, and that we will be a
help to all those we come in contact with, that the Lord be glorified in all
that is said and done. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
Pastor Gil Tartaglino and his church were very
generous to me as I was trying to help them through the preaching of God's
Word. We had an excellent turn out to the meetings. We had a lady receive the
Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour.
Pastor's Comment
It's always a blessing to have Evangelist Norm
Stevens in our church. He is truly a man that walks with God! He preaches
God's Word with much authority because he lives it in his life. Our revival
meetings went well and many decisions were made for the glory of God. As a
Pastor, Brother Norm is always an encouragement to me in the ministry. Praise
God for his ministry as an Evangelist!
Believer's Comments
"Thank you so much for your powerful preaching.
It helped me more than you will ever know."
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for
"delivering God's mail." The messages you preached this past week really
spoke to me! I was also encouraged by your testimony. I definitely see the
love of God in your life. You always express so much joy and happiness, even
though you have faced hardships along the way. You showed me that God is all
we really need and all the "things" in life are of no importance. Well, thank
you again for your testimony and encouragement! I will be praying for you and
your wife!"
Debbie and I are doing fine. We simply
ask that you continue to pray with us about Deb's health. Each day is filled
with pain, so much so that she finds it difficult even to attend the services
at Providence Baptist Church in Riverview, Florida. The church has been very
patient and helpful to her during this time.
Thank you for your constant prayers and concern
for our family and our ministry. We truly appreciate all your prayers, cards,
phone calls, and financial support. All have been helpful in meeting our
needs that we might meet the needs of others. We love you and thank you for
your support.
The Sunday morning meetings went well with
Pastor Lance Ketchum at Shepherd's Fold Baptist Church in Hutchinson,
Minnesota. The congregation responded well, and God's people were encouraged
by the preaching of His Word.
Debbie and 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 James Turner at
Lighthouse Baptist Church in Blaine, Washington. They were happy to have me
there to preach God's Word.
I was encouraged by our week-long meetings with
Pastor James Herb at Victory Baptist Church in Kittanning, Pennsylvania.
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 also had a great revival with Pastor Steve
Haddock at The Little Baptist Church in Pendleton, Oregon.
The meetings went well with Pastor Donald
Noecker at Souls Harvest Baptist Church in Port Carbon, Pennsylvania. We had
a week of Revival and a week of Vacation Bible School. It was a marvelous two
weeks with many important decisions being made.
God is so good. He has blessed us with so many
meetings as well as given us countless miles of safe travel. We have also
been encouraged by Pastors who have frequently told us of how timely the
messages have been.
We were with Pastor Art McGahan at Church Street
Baptist Church in Greensboro, North Carolina. We thank the Lord for the
spiritual decisions that were made by several of God's people during the
meetings.
Again, Debbie and I thank God for all you
who faithfully give and pray for us and for the ministry. We are truly
blessed to have so many friends in the ministry like you.
His servants,
Norman
& Debbie Stevens
