These days in our land and in our churches seem to
be defining days. The love of many has waxed cold and
the wickedness of deception has waxed worse and worse.
However, as Paul instructed Timothy, we are to continue
on in the tried and true steps of our spiritual forefathers.
Any concept that is presented as true that
is new, should generally be shunned. The
old paths are the truths that should be trumpeted. Im
not talking about the traditions of men, but the verities
of orthodox belief, the fundamentals of the faith. God
help us to stand for the timeless truths of Gods
Book.
April has been consumed in meetings. From my humble
platform much has
been accomplished in the lives of the listeners from
their testimonies, and the Lord has seen fit to save
souls and wonderful conversions have been observed.
I praise God for the opportunity to glean in His harvest
field.
Thank you so much for your continued support and constant
encouragement. Our task is often daunting, but I do
not despair, as I feel the effect of your prayers in
my behalf. God is still on the throne and His blessing
is my abundant joy. God bless you for your faithfulness
is my prayer.
Your companion in grace,
Tim Green
P.S. Those of you who check into timgreenministries.org
will see we are experiencing a little re-construction.
Thank you for your patience.

The longer that I am involved in the Lord’s service
the more I realize that God is not interested in the
consecration of my talents or yours, but He is moved
when we present our bodies a living sacrifice. I believe
the giving of our lives in total abandon to Him gets His
attention. My nothingness and His “everythingness” can
be meshed in a ministry that truly honors God and is a
blessing, thus, a true ministry to others. In Oswald
Chambers’ book, DISCIPLES INDEED, he said, “ The
humiliation is that we have to be quite sure we need
Him, so many of us are quite sure we don’t need Him.” I
am positive I need Him and all that He wisely chooses
for me. Think about it.
I spoke in five churches in three countries on a
whirlwind trip to Europe last month. It was an honor to
speak for faithful missionaries and hopefully be an
encouragement and blessing to these front-line soldiers
for the Saviour. I will have preached in three churches
in Texas and one in Arizona by the time you receive this
March correspondence. I plead for your prayers; that God
would save souls, revive saints and restore
backsliders.
Than you from the depths of my grateful heart for
your faithful support of our work for Christ. I covet
your prayers as always, and trust God to give us all an
abundant supply of His best.

The days of our lives flow swiftly past and it seems,
sometimes, that so little spiritually is being
accomplished. Our time is consumed with right and
necessary things, but their impact on eternity is
negligible. I trust the Lord will allow each of us the
good sense to expand our efforts in His vineyard, His
house and at His throne in prayer, more in 2007 than in
the past.
God truly blessed wonderfully in the four meetings in
January. If the rest of the year is blessed, we just
might have real revival break out somewhere along the
trail! God knows we need a profound, life-changing
restoration of our interests in spiritual things. Thank
you so much for your prayers in our behalf (especially
you children).
Thank you much for your faithful support of our home
and ministry. I pray for those of you that help bear the
financial burden daily. May God bless you much for the
tangible expression of your standing with us. I am
forever in your debt and eternally grateful to God for
all you do.

Another year! 2007, I would never have believed it!
However, as it is here, we must be about the Father’s
business. Thank you so much for your faithful giving and
support of our work in the field of evangelism. For more
than thirty years I have been preaching meetings and
looking for God to work in the lives of His people and
in the saving of souls. It is a great joy and distinct
privilege to be so employed.
In a recent meeting in Florida the pastor’s son, who
is thirty two years old was saved on Sunday night and
the meeting was “on”!! I also had the second set of
twins saved in a meeting in my lifetime. These girls
were teenagers. The first set of twins I had walk the
aisle and get saved were seventy-two years young!! Just
think, born on the same day and born again on the same
day! We serve a great God who is interested in household
salvation.
I look forward to seeing God work in the lives of
folk around this country and in the two or three foreign
mission trips I have scheduled later this year. Please
pray with me for God’s power and strength and health to
do His work effectively.
Please pray for my brother Steve and my sister Mary
as they both have been diagnosed with cancer in the last
few weeks. Also, my father is having cataract surgery
today and the problem is compounded by glaucoma.
My prayers are with you each and every day and again
I thank God for you and yours.

Eph. 5:20 - “Giving thanks always for all
things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ.”
1 Thes. 5:18 - “In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning
you.”
These two verses strike a crushing blow to self-pity,
self indulgence, well, just SELF in general. My youngest
son was preparing a sermon on this subject and he called
and asked me if I was thankful for his eldest brother’s
stroke and subsequent permanent paralysis. To be honest
I don’t know if I have been thankful, but I have heard
my son, Jordan, express his gratefulness to God for his
circumstances.
The first time my father, my son and I all preached
together, the congregation closed the unique service
with the song “ Thank you Lord for saving my soul. Thank
you Lord for making me whole . . . ” Jordan, with tears
flowing down his face, said, “Dad, I sing it
differently‘ Thank you Lord for making me SO!’” I think
we shouted a while!
We have much to be thankful for and all of it is not
positive. I thank God for all of you that help me in
this work, but I need to also be thankful for those who
have seen fit to redirect their giving and ceased their
support, even though it hurts.
I have friends facing terrible family situations;
divorce, disease, debt, debilitating, injuries and so
on. May God help each of us to rise up with thankful
hearts and express our appreciation to Him for the
seeming, on the surface negatives in our lives. It is
easy to grouse, grumble, and hold a grudge, but it is
better to lift one’s voice in praise to God for the
grace extended that proves we are God’s child.
God bless you all in the hectic holidays ahead and
keep you gently resting in His will for your life.

Thank you so much for your faithful help and support
of our work for Christ. I am grateful to God that I
don’t have to “ go-it-alone”. Your prayers and personal
investments in this ministry are much valued. Of course,
I am glad that we all have the wonderful privilege of
being “co-laborers with Him” in His world- wide
vineyard.
I am aware the election day is just around the corner
and may have passed by the time you are reading this, oh
how our country needs guidance and direction from above.
We desperately need some Christians with a clear and
ringing testimony to take a stand and even perhaps enter
the political arena.
One of my great concerns is that as a nation we have
so offended God that He has become our enemy! Jeremiah
lamented in Lam. 2:5 that,” The Lord was an enemy:...”
Israel had sinned and offended God to such a degree that
God appeared as an enemy to them. Really God has always
been an enemy of evil and unrighteousness. I believe
that deliverance can come if we destroy in our lives
that which has alienated God Almighty. God is not
personally vindictive, however, He is opposed to our
disobedience that has brought us to the brink of
personal, ecclesiastical and political peril. Verse 22
of this chapter records that none escaped or remained
after God’s anger was unleashed against sinning Israel.
God help us to see ourselves and repent, turning
completely from our wicked ways.
I am your friend and I strive to be a faithful
servant of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for revival and a
fresh anointing of God’s Spirit on our joint efforts for
Christ.

One of the great blessings of serving God as an
itinerant evangelist is the host of friends you acquire
across the country and around the world. Some of these
dear ones are the men you preach for and their families.
Others are converts or people that were helped
spiritually by the ministry God has entrusted us with.
Whatever the case, the joy of knowing and fellowshipping
with God’s people is unsurpassed, except for the glory
of Heaven. The enduring friendship of God’s people is
truly an earthly treasure.
God blessed wonderfully in meetings during September
in Missouri, Virginia, and Kentucky. I will close out
this month in New Orleans and begin the next one there
too. Then on to Texas and then back to Ohio for two
meetings later in the month. One great blessing in
Missouri was the Pastor’s son being saved the first
night of the meeting. That will really kick-off a
revival!
Your gracious giving is a humbling example of true
Christianity and concern for others. I pray the dear
Lord of the harvest will bless you abundantly for your
care and sacrifice. Your prayers for us are of
inestimable value.

There has been much to be thankful for in the month
of August. The meetings have been fruitful and blessed
with a fresh anointing of God’s Spirit. The crusade in
Trinidad resulted in over sixty professions of faith, of
which about half were adults. I spoke at a youth camp in
the upper peninsula of Michigan for seventeen different
churches. Seven souls were saved and many other
life-altering decisions were made by the campers. Please
pray that the four meetings in September will be equally
blessed of God, or greatly surpass in spiritual results
and Holy Ghost conviction. May they pass our previous
experience and overwhelm our expectations.
Thank you so much for your help in this work. Our
labors are expanded and progress with your prayers and
support. You are so important to this preacher and I
pray for you daily. God bless you!
We live in strange, yet compelling times, however,
God has placed us in this hour to be lights in an ever
darkening world. This is no time to abandon ship or
lower our sails. This is the hour to cast off all excess
baggage and with guns blazing and flags unfurled; fight
the battles for truth and right. Paul said it well, “...
having done all, to stand. Stand...!”

Matthew and Mark both discuss the woman
with the devil-possessed daughter that sought Christ's
help. Jesus' response was far less than what is taught
about Him in our "bellhop" mentality today. He finally
answered her, but denied her request until she beseeched
Him with her admittance of her "dog-likeness" and
requested crumbs that fell from the children's table.
Thank God for the crumbs God allows us to enjoy along
the way! Hey, I'd rather eat God's crumbs off the floor,
than enjoy the devil's banquet table! Besides, He is not
only the Baker, but the bread and the bakery, and
everything that really matters in life.
God has blessed us with a few crumbs along
the way this past month. Souls have been saved in the
three meetings I preached and the blessings of God were
evident. The road does get long and arduous, but the
joys are abundant beyond compare!
Thank you so much for your prayers and
personal support for this ministry. God has blessed me
by allowing your heart to be touched for the work that
enjoins our hearts. Without your faithful help it would
be impossible to keep up the work at the level we are
on-God bless you!
I start August 1 in Trinidad & Tobago
in a soul winning crusade. I covet your prayers for true
conversions among these people and safety in travel. I
then go to Michigan and then I am off a couple of weeks
- maybe I can get the lawn mowed!

I stand along the sidelines of life and watch with
amazement as men and movements pass by like so many
clouds. I wonder if sometimes works prosper because
intrinsically they are wrong and the devil does not
oppose them and mere men confuse that with God’s
blessings. Others, who are doing nobly, are so utterly
defeated by demonic opposition and never gain the
victory God promised in His Word, for lack of asking and
appropriating all our heavenly Father has put in our
arsenals. I wonder...
Thank you for your help and prayers in behalf of our
work for Christ. I am consumed with activity and dealing
with situations that I desperately covet your
intercession in my behalf. I praise God for His kind
hand of direction and sustaining power in the midst of
life’s perplexing duties.
The meetings in Maryland, Michigan, and Alabama were
profitable and souls were saved along the trail, and I
trust some lives were blessed. July will find me in
Idaho, Kentucky and Michigan for meetings and I ask that
you beseech God for real Revival.
Thank you again and may God bless you.

My heart is filled with
thankfulness to God for impressing upon you the support
of this ministry. I rejoice in the mutual benefits that
accrue to our spiritual accounts.
On Mother’s Day I spoke at White
Plains Baptist Church in Mt. Airy, NC. I have preached
on this special day at White Plains for nearly
twenty-five years consecutively. (I may have missed
once). This past Mom’s Day five were saved, but other
conversions of note caught my attention. A young man
walked up to me and said he was saved last Mother’s Day
and a young boy that was saved two years ago on this
special day drowned about a month after he came to
Christ. Also, a distinguished looking man about
thirty-five walked up to me and said he was saved as a
teenager in 1987 when I preached there! Thank God for
the privilege of sowing and reaping God’s vineyards
across this great land.
I close this month out with two
weeks of meetings in Texas and covet your prayers for
real revival. Your gifts are so appreciated and vital,
however, your prayers are of inestimable
value.

What an exciting and event-filled
month April has been. The first Sunday of the month I
closed out a meeting in south Texas. The morning service
was truly a visitation from the Lord. This church had
suffered the unprecedented loss of three of its young
people in two separate traffic accidents. That Sunday
morning three teenager’s souls were saved and rejoicing
filled the hearts of most of us present that
day.
I was honored to speak also in
the Revival Fires Conference in Louisville, Kentucky and
God blessed. Easter Sunday I was in the Detroit area and
two made professions of faith on their Resurrection Day!
I close out the month in West Virginia and things get
hectic in May! I will be in Florida, North Carolina,
Ohio, and Texas.
In the next few days Sandy and I
face with high mixed emotions the departure of our
eldest son, Jordan, his wife Bethany and our
granddaughter Ashelyn, taking off to Old Mexico for
their first term as missionaries. Our hearts are full
with a mixture of pride and sadness, joy and longing,
fear and faith, and heaviness and hope. I know this is
why God gave us our children - that we might raise them
to be available for Him - but we are oh so human at
times like this. Please pray for us and pray for them.
They have a minimum of support, but a great God to
serve.
Thank you ever so much for your
faithful giving and support of our work over the years.
You are a constant encouragement to this preacher and
his dear companion. We love you and pray God’s best
would be yours .
Redemptively His & warmly
yours,

The days of March have nearly
found their collective way into the bottom of the hour
glass of time and thank God warm days are ahead. March
has always been a significant month for me, as I was
saved in March and my mother passed away in March, and
there are other moments of note in this Spring time
month. This month has been filled with blessings and
travel. I thank God for His care and power displayed
time after time.
One interesting anecdote I would
like to share with you is the conversion of a woman in
Arizona. Her grandson and two other little boys were the
only “parishioners” that met the present pastor, the
first Sunday he spoke there. Faithfully this young man
has attended the church in Yuma for eight years and
grown under the ministry of Bro. Bobby Robinson. On the
Sunday I opened a revival meeting there, the young man
brought his grandmother to the services and she was
saved! Thank God for the boy’s faithfulness and I
rejoice with him in the salvation of this dear
lady.
Thank you so much for your help
over the years. God has used you mightily in our behalf
and I trust for His consumate glory. I close the month
out in Texas and will be in Kentucky the first week of
April.
May God richly bless you in the
days ahead.

Thank you so much for your
constant care and Christian concern for our work for
Jesus Christ. Your presence in our lives is of
inestimable value. The monthly monetary ministry that is
so graciously tendered is highly appreciated and is a
source of great encouragement. God bless you
much!
I just returned from New Zealand.
I was blessed to preach in two churches. One in Auckland
and the other in Whakatane. Yes, Whakatane! The pastor
there has pastored this church he founded in 1987. I was
privileged to be the speaker in the nineteenth
anniversary services. Bro. Neville Keys is a delightful
Christian gentleman and we had a blessed time together
and I look forward to returning for meetings in the
future. The meetings in Auckland were also well attended
and food was served every night, both of the spiritual
and physical kind.
Bro. Keys told me many wonderful
experiences of soul-winning adventures. One anecdote
concerned a tract, written by Robert Laidlaw, H.A.
Ironsides’ brother-in-law, ( I visited Ironsides’ grave
while in Auckland) that lay hidden above a door for
decades and was found one day by “divine accident” and
led to the conversion of one of Bro. Keys’ relatives.
This story reaffirms the truth of God’s Word not
returning void. God brings things to pass in His own
good time.
I am extremely busy the rest of
this month and in March. I covet your prayers as I
travel to Louisiana, Michigan, Arizona, and Texas in the
next thirty days. Pray that God would send real revival
and that many souls would be saved.

I started the new year in
Mississippi. In the first Sunday service of 2006, a
young man was saved! What a grand way to commence
another year of ministry. The revival that week was
especially blessed of God. I then began a meeting in
north Florida and the evident hand of God's blessing was
there in great power. Souls were saved and a spirit of
revival was very evident. The pastor talked to me a week
or so later and we must of riled the enemy as many
negative things took place (God knows). The meeting was
really a help to the people of God to withstand the
coming attack. I then flew to California and spoke on
the eve of classes beginning at West Coast Baptist
College. The campus was filled with excited students and
I trust my ministry there was a help to some. These last
few days have been spent in much ministry activities and
preaching locally.
Thank you so much for your
prayers and help in the work God has assigned. I trust
that God's blessing will be yours and His hand is
mightily upon you in these difficult days. God is still
on the throne and a mighty God is He. Our God given
orders are still in effect - go and carry the Gospel to
a lost a dying world. The message is to Go; the plea
from the lost is to Come (Acts 16:9); and the appeal
from the lost in eternity is to Send (Luke 16:27, 28).
May God help us to lay our ears on the Bible and hear
the cry of the Christ, the appeal from the world, and
the lament of the lost!
I covet your prayers for help and
safety. In February our trail will lead us to New
Zealand and Louisiana for revival meetings and Bible
conferences. God bless you all much is my prayer. Your
kind letters and helpful support are truly Godsends to
Sandy and me. God be with you all is my
prayer.

I am getting this prayer letter
and note of appreciation to you a little early this
month, but the Season is upon us. Next Thursday most of
us will be drowning in gravy-along with a lot of other
good things. My wife claims we are going to be on a diet
on Thanksgiving Day, we shall see!
I preached a brief four-day
meeting in the Bahamas this month and met an interesting
man. His name was Dieter and he was in Hitler Youth and
remembers well the end of the war and the American
soldiers giving him candy bars and kindness. His telling
of the tale moved him to tears, though it is six decades
after the fact. He also was converted in the Bahamas and
his testimony was quite interesting. I had the privilege
to speak in a public school. The children all wore
uniforms ( skirts and blouses for the girls, dress
shirts and ties for the boys) and several made
professions of faith during the invitation. They put a
lot of Christian schools in America to shame in my
humble opinion. I also had a very good meeting in the
thumb area of Michigan earlier in the month. The rest of
the year is made up of Sundays only and I pray the Lord
will bless in these services.
Thank you so much for your help
and prayers. It would be very difficult to do what I do
without your caring support and faithful interceding in
our behalf. Please pray for my health and safety during
the many travels and that God would richly bless the
meetings and send revival.
God bless you and yours and may
Thanksgiving Day be one of family blessing and

I was preaching recently in
Barrow, Alaska. This village of about four thousand
people is situated as far north as you can go and still
be in the United States. It is only accessible by
airplane or boat. There is one road that runs about
eight miles along the coast of the Arctic Ocean and then
just stops! It is a road too nowhere!
As an honest observer of
fundamentalism and a concerned preacher of the Gospel, I
see many good men on the road to nowhere! They are
seeking innovation when they should be immersed in
intercession. The need of the hour is old school ethics
and practice, and perhaps some new school
techniques. I do not want to go back to the
mimeograph, but we need to go back to Bethel! The
new music, standards, bibles and contemporary values end
that leads to apostasy and nowhere!
Thank you so much for your
support and prayers this past month. Your help is so
valued, especially in the next two months as the
holidays sap our reserves and the meetings are
few.
The souls that were saved this
past month were like diamonds dug out of the
rough. They were also few, but precious to God and I am
grateful to be involved in reaching folk with the
Gospel. One lady that was saved Wednesday night, had
only been to church a handful of times in her life. The
next night she was back at church in a dress and no one
save the Holy Spirit mentioned the importance of modest
apparel. It is wonderful to see God work in the new
babes lives, now if some of us older Christians would
listen to His voice and have revival!

Gratefully, I express to you my
appreciation for your financial help and continued
prayers for this ministry. Without your devoted aid our
task would be much more difficult.
Due to security reasons
(according to my host) I could not report ahead of time
my trip to China. The first ten days of September I was
privileged to travel and speak in Red China. The hunger
for God’s Word and interest in spiritual things was
palpable. The testimonies I heard of God’s grace in
salvation, reinforced in my mind, that the blood of
Jesus Christ is completely capable of reaching beyond
Bamboo Curtains and the iron-fist of communism to save
to the uttermost!
Upon returning to the United
States I began a meeting in a church about ten miles
from home. Sunday morning, this jet-lagged preacher
preached a Gospel message and two German women from
Frankfurt listened as another interpreted for them and
they were both saved! The four day meeting was
especially blessed of God with many decisions and more
saved, including the pastor’s married daughter. I will
be in Florida when this note goes out and trusting God
for revival and more.
Please continue to batter the
gates of heaven in our behalf. Pray that God would
revive His people and heal our sick and mortally wounded
land.
God bless each of you in a
wonderful way is my prayer.

I have been in Mississippi,
Arkansas, Michigan, and Indiana in meetings this past
month. The days have been filled with preaching and
seeking to be a help to God’s people. I have preached in
places that were filled to capacity and others where
dozens could lay down and sleep in the pews! I have
learned that it matters little how many are there, as
long as God shows up! In these dark days of doom and
gloom I am glad that the Lord is ever faithful to make
His wonderful presence known. We need Him far more than
He needs us. We are replaceable, He is vitally necessary
in our homes and church services.
Thank you so
much for your faithful, consistent help to this ministry
and my family. I know our family has shrunk, just back
to the two of us, but expenses ( fuel and etc.) are
higher than ever. Can you believe these gas prices? I
saw gas for $2.27 a gallon the other day and nearly
wrecked trying to get into the station to buy some !! I
am thankful that my hope is built on nothing less than
Jesus Christ. God bless you much for your every kindness
to Sandy and me.

I was preaching one Sunday
morning this month in a young church in Houma,
Louisiana. I preached a simple Gospel message and a
young man came forward to be saved. He had walked
forty-five minutes to come to church! I don't know when
I've been in a service where someone walked that far to
church. It's been a long time I am sure. It amazes me
how little effort we want to put into the greatest
enterprise on earth-the winning of souls. I believe if
you give God all of you, He will give you all of Him.
And friend, He really has wondrous blessings and
benefits to bestow.
Thank you again for your faithful
generosity to the ministry of evangelism entrusted to
this servant. I am humbly appreciative of all your
prayers and support. May God bless you is my
prayer.
I have finally been dragged,
kicking and screaming into the 21st century ( a little
further). Tim Green Ministries now has a website. My
prayer letters, biographical sketch, books and other
things are there for your perusal. Many thanks to Bro.

About twenty-five years ago I led
a young man to the Lord ( I was a young man then too).
Over the past Father's day weekend his 19-year-old son,
a bible college student, was killed in an automobile
accident. I talked to this brother and our words,
mingled with sorrow and rejoicing, attempted to comfort
one another's grieving hearts. The thought that rushed
through my mind was, “ Thank God for salvation and the
hope of Heaven.” Soulwinning is a vital part of all that
we Christians do and its long range ramifications are
our ultimate goal, that is, getting people to Jesus.
Thank you all so much for your
continual help in carrying this message of hope and life
to a lost and dying world. Without you the work would be
impossible and not merely imposing.
I have enjoyed good meetings in
very small churches the first two weeks of June.
Father's day I spoke all day in Batavia, Ohio and
enjoyed good services. As of this correspondence I am in
Alabama in a mission's school and will travel to
Michigan and Idaho to close out the month.
Please pray for God's blessing
and that the convicting power of God would be at work in
our meetings. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness,

allowed me to be involved in. Our work is totally of
faith and my hope is in God. He uses people like you and
your gracious heart to provide wondrously for us. I have
no reason to gripe, grumble or complain about God's ever
present grace and goodness in my behalf. Thank you again
from this grateful servant of the most high God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ.
It seems today that many people
who once stood for right, righteousness and right
thinking are deviating far from the old time path of
fundamentalism. I'm sure they may look at their actions
as progressive thinking or “keeping up with the times”.
However, I would have to say that it all seems to wear
the charred shroud of compromise. There may have been
“plenty” in Moab compared to the barren shelves in
Bethlehem, but there also were plenty of coffins and
crying in Elimelech's household. The cost of compromise
and trying to “fit in” is not worth it. May God give us
a band of sincere soldiers that will stand for right and
truth in this day of doubting deviance.
June finds me traveling from our
nation's capitol, to the hills of West Virginia, the
banks of the Ohio River, the pine forests of Alabama,
the thumb of Michigan and the high desert of Idaho.
Please pray for safety in travel and patience to put up
with all the airport foolishness ( had to give up my
lighter last month!-Ha).

grace,

America is more accountable to
God than any nation on earth besides Israel. We have had
much and squandered most of it. God has graced our
shores and we have disgraced His name. He has blessed us
and we have burdened Him with our backsliding. The Lord
has promised us power and we have presented Him with
problems we think are unsolvable. Revival is the crying
need of the hour in our land. May God stir the dying
embers of revival fires in your church and life is my
earnest prayer.
Since I last wrote I have been in
revival meetings in Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, and I am
writing this letter from Tennessee. Thanks to the fact
that I have finally arrived “kicking and screaming” into
the twenty-first century, I will e-mail this to my
secretary and she will write it. I will be home and sign
it, seal it, and mail it. Souls have been saved and the
meeting in southern Ohio was mighty close to real
revival. Sunday we had three saved here in Tennessee and
one of them, a man my age, was saved before the service
really began! Folks had been praying for him for thirty
years!
I want to thank each and every
one of you that help to support us and express my deep
appreciation for all you do for Sandy and the ministry
God has given to me. I know I've said this before, but
my job would almost be impossible without you. Please
pray that God would raise up a few more like you to help
us do the work of God in our portion of His fields. God
bless you all is my fervent prayer.

I thought she was a teenager. She
turned out to be forty. So much for my poor eyesight.
Gripping the back of the pew and pushing away the soul
winner, she refused to come forward. After the service
the pastors' wife led her to the Lord. Her problems were
multiplied, but Christ became her Master! Her background
was heartbreaking. When she was ten years old, she was
drowning. Her mother jumped in the water to rescue her
and she drowned! For thirty years she bore the weight of
her mother's death and her father's blame. Upon
returning to the remaining services the change in her
demeanor, countenance and life was dramatic. Praise God,
Christ is still saving sinners that come to Him with the
problems and situations of life.
I am closing a meeting in Arizona
this week and then I preach Easter Week in a church
about five miles from my home. It will be nice to preach
to Sandy for a week, maybe I can get her straightened
out!
Thank you so much for your help
and prayers in the work God has provided for me to do.
It would be unbearable, at times, to continue on without
your spiritual and material assistance. God bless you
for your many kindnesses to this preacher and his
family.
April is covered in meetings and
I trust I will be able to take care of my “business
partner,” Uncle Sam, on the 15th!! Again, may God's
richest blessings be yours.

It is always a humbling
experience to watch God work in individual lives,
drawing men out of a congregation and watching them
kneel at an altar and receive Christ as their Saviour.
Last Sunday in a church in Osprey, Florida five precious
souls came forward and professed Christ. One young
couple about to be married, who had been invited by
grandparents, came and what a rejoicing time it was for
that family! I was in Houma, Louisiana earlier in the
month and God blessed in a church that is trying to
revive itself from a mess and their new pastor is
attempting to lead them back to spiritual solvency. I am
in Tampa, Florida this week in a conference and will be
home soon.
I am eternally grateful for your
support and prayers. We need your prayers. I asked you
last month to remember Sandy especially at this time.
She has had some serious health problems, however, the
doctor gave her a good report last time and we are
trusting God. Now if she can only keep from bitten by
the neighbors' dog! Yes, she seriously got bit, trying
to keep our old dog from being mauled and she got it. It
has laid her up and given us both good reason to maybe
move to a high-rise apartment!
We covet your prayers for the
days ahead. I will be in two meetings in the month of
March and trust the dear Lord will bless mightily.
Please join me in requesting that real revival would be
enjoyed in these meetings.

The first month of 2005 has been
filled with wonderful meetings and the blessings of God.
I started the year in Mississippi and then on to
Florida, closing out this month's revivals in Texas.
There were three saved in each of the first three
meetings of this new year. I praise God for His
faithfulness, power and constant care. Even though some
of my airport experiences are less than enjoyable!
Thank you much for your help and
especially your prayers for Sandy and me. Sandy has been
ill for about two months, but it seems that the dear
Lord has touched her physically and for this we praise
His name. Now if she can just keep from slipping on the
ice.... Please keep her on your prayer list.
I trust our heavenly Father will
bless and prosper your way in the coming days. Whatever
we do for God does not go unnoticed and I know He cares
for His own. I pray for you kind folk that so faithfully
support our labors for Jesus. May God be all in all to
you and yours.
Your companion in
grace,
