Dear Christian Friends,

Thank you for praying for us. Your faithfulness to us through your prayer and financial support has been a true blessing.  We thank the Lord for His daily provision and care.

It is a tremendous privilege to see God's hand at work in our meetings. Our meetings are going well. We are having good attendance and many decisions. God's people are being encouraged through the preaching of His Word. We see God's people change their mind about their sin. We have seen God's people encouraged to return to walking closer with the Lord. We are praying with some about other decisions.

Please pray that this would be the year for a sweeping revival among God's people that would bring honour and glory to Christ.

The meetings went well with Pastor Alan Lehman at Mountain View Baptist Church in Colbert, Washington. We were able to share the gospel message with the lost, as well as give words of encouragement to God's people.

We enjoy serving the Lord in our personal lives and ministry, and desire your prayers that we might be found faithful in giving forth the gospel message, and that we might see many come to know the Lord as their personal Saviour in the days ahead. We praise God for the privilege of reaching souls for Christ.

Our all-day Sunday meeting went well with Pastor Greg Boyle at Faith Baptist Church in Spokane, Washington. A grandmother and her granddaughter received the Lord as their personal Saviour after the morning service. God's people have responded well, and the pastor is greatly encouraged.

This past August, we started our ninth year in the ministry of evangelism. Although the Lord has blessed in many ways since we started, we are looking forward to seeing our Lord work in the lives of His people even more this year as well as seeing many more souls saved.

The folks at Pioneer Baptist Church responded to God's Word during the Wednesday night meeting with Pastor Fred Fowler in Asotin, Washington. I had a great time with God's people. The pastor was greatly encouraged.

God's people were blessed by the Word of God being preached during the Thursday night meeting with Pastor Bill Anker at Independent Baptist Church in Spokane Valley, Washington.

I was with Pastor Fred Durgin at Mid State Baptist Church in Paso Robles, California, on Sunday, June 5, 2005. I had a great time as we worshiped the Lord together. The Lord gave me great liberty to preach His Word. God's people were encouraged by it.

It would be helpful and less costly to us, if we could e-mail our Ministry Newsletter to you. If that would be convenient for you, please send your e-mail address to us. Thanks!

Our Teen Retreat went well with Pastor Melito Berrara at Victory Ranch in Moreno Valley, California. The teens responded well to the preaching of God's Word. On Thursday, we had two teens receive Christ as their Saviour. We had a great time around the campfire on Friday night. We had a young lady and three young men come forward during the invitation to receive Christ as their Saviour. On Saturday, we had three young men come forward during the invitation to receive Christ as their Saviour. Praise God!

Thank you for praying for Debbie because of her appendectomy. She seems to be making better physical progress. She is under doctor's care in Florida and will be until he feels that she is well enough to travel. Currently, as far as the doctor can tell, she is rid of the infection. The doctor is waiting to see if it will come back. Please continue to pray for healing and full recovery. We are ever thankful for God's goodness and mercy.

Our all-day Sunday meetings went well with Pastor Schell Smith at Victory Baptist Church in Atwater, California. God's people responded well to the preaching of His Word. As a result of the meetings, two young ladies received the Lord as their personal Saviour.

The Wednesday night meeting went well with Pastor Ron Allen at Calvary Baptist Church in San Francisco, California. Several of God's people came up to me after the service and told me they were encouraged by the preaching of God's Word.

The Wednesday night meeting went well with Pastor Jonathan Bixby at First Baptist Church in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. God's people responded well to the preaching of His Word.

The all-day Sunday meetings went well with Pastor Clyde Ewers at Ambassador Baptist Church in Sparta, Wisconsin. On Tuesday, we started Teen Camp at the church and went through Friday, July 29, 2005. After the preaching of God's Word, we had three young people come forward to receive Christ as their Saviour.

Once again, we are so thankful for your financial gifts and for your prayer support which is very much appreciated. Please pray that God will open the hearts of His people during the meetings.

We hope you are encouraged to hear how God is using this ministry. We pray that God would continue to bless you as we serve Him together.

His servants,
Norman & Debbie Stevens
