Dear Friends,

We are excited about what the Lord is doing through the meetings, and much of it is possible because of your faithful prayers. We are thankful for faithful friends who uphold us with prayer and financial support.

It was a blessing for us to be with Pastor Mark Poorman at Woodcrest Baptist Church in Fridley, Minnesota. God’s people responded well to His Word.

What a delight it was to be with Pastor Bill Redmond at Trinity Baptist Church in Statesville, North Carolina, for their 30th Anniversary since the church was established.

Please pray for more people to be consistent in attending our meetings and for God to open the eyes of people who have attended.

We had a great time with Pastor Delbert Oatsvall at First Baptist Church in New Lisbon, Wisconsin. It was a joy for us to worship the Lord together with God’s people. God’s people were very kind and a great blessing to us.

We were with Pastor Timothy Collard at Faith Baptist Church in Pembine, Wisconsin. We thank the Lord for the spiritual decisions that were made by several of God’s people during the meeting.

Our meetings went well with Pastor David McDaniel at Kishwaukee Baptist Church in Rockford, Illinois. It was a time of spiritual growth among God’s people.

Pastor Don Hawkins was encouraged at the results of our meetings at Eagle River Baptist Church in Eagle River, Wisconsin. God did a marvelous work among His people.

We had a great time at DeForest Baptist Church in De Forest, Wisconsin. God’s people were very kind and a great blessing to us.

We had a great week of meetings with Pastor Ron Hanson at First Baptist Church in Preston, Minnesota. We had a great time with God’s people. They made life-changing decisions.

Our week of meetings went well with Pastor Larry Smetak at Harvest Baptist Church in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. God’s people were encouraged. They had 55 attend one or more services, had 14 men first time during the month and had 7 come forward.

The week of meetings went well with Pastor Roger Siedschlag at First Baptist Church in Horicon, Wisconsin.  God’s people were excited about the meetings.  We were able to spend quality time with the pastor and his family. We were able to clean and stain the cedar deck at the pastor’s home.

We are excited about the week of meetings with Pastor Ronald Gay at Grace Baptist Church in Evansville, Wisconsin.  We had a different crowd of people each night of the meetings.  The pastor was greatly encouraged by the folks who came.

Our meetings went well with Pastor James Keslar at Calvary Community Church in Confluence, Pennsylvania. The meetings were well attended by God’s people, their eyes were opened, and life-changing decisions were made.

Our meetings went well with Pastor John Henderson at Bunker Lake Boulevard Baptist Church in Ham Lake, Minnesota. We had a thirteen-year-old girl come forward to receive Christ as her personal Saviour. God’s people were excited about the meetings. They were well attended and some of God’s people made the decision to live for Jesus and do what is right on purpose. Pastor Henderson told Debbie and me that this week of meetings were the best attended he could remember.

The meetings went well with Pastor Richard Rogers at Calvary Baptist Church in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. God’s people have responded well to the Word of God. They made life-changing decisions.

We are happy to report that our meeting went well with Pastor William Metzger at Open Door Baptist Church in Baraboo, Wisconsin.

We were well pleased with the results of the meetings with Pastor Ron Groschel at Prior Lake Baptist Church in Prior Lake, Minnesota. God’s people responded well to the 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.

Our all-day Sunday meetings went well with Pastor John Horner at Liberty Baptist Church in Minier, Illinois. No one came forward to receive Christ as their personal Saviour; but God’s people made decisions on their knees before the Lord, for which we praise the Lord!

Our Wednesday night meeting went well with Pastor John Stevens at Northside Baptist Church in Charleston, South Carolina. We were a blessing and an encouragement to the pastor and God’s people.

Please pray that God will challenge the hearts of His people in our meetings about the need to win the lost.

We were with Pastor Steve Triplet at Fellowship Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. We thank the Lord for the spiritual decisions that were made by several of God’s people during the meetings.

We were able to spend Thanksgiving with our family in Florida. We had a great time together.

Thank you again for your fervent prayer and faithful financial support without which we can accomplish very little.

Our prayer is that the Lord will bless you while serving Him in 2005.

Love in Christ,
Norman & Debbie Stevens
