May - July 2005 Praise Report

 Dear Ones in Christ,

Greetings in Jesus' Name from Salado Texas, where we are serving in revival services I pray that you are well and following Our Savior earnestly. We must shun the modern, popular trend today, that the Word of God warns us against in James 1:8, that of being a double-minded believer. The word double-minded comes from the idea of "two souled or two lives in one". God is calling us to a single, devoted heart for His Glory (Ps. 86:11)1 I want to express my deep love and appreciation to you who pray for and support this ministry with your financial help and Christian love. Thank you for your sacrificial and gracious help. I thank the Lord for each church and individual, for your assisting us in spreading the Gospel.

 The last three months have been full of ministry opportunities and fruitful in the Lord's Kingdom, as we have seen precious souls saved and revival come to many Christians. We have been in some of the best services that we have ever seen in our 31 years of ministry. It is such a joy and thrill, just to be a very small part of the Awesome and Glorious Work of Our Wonderful Savior.

 We have been blessed to serve in the following churches since our last writing:

Bible Baptist Church - Terrell. TX - Pastor Jimmy Sheppard

Rosedale Baptist Church - Abingdon, VA - Pastor Don Paxton

Union Baptist Church - Hayes, VA - Pastor J.D. Moore

Hillcrest Baptist Church - SanAngelo, TX - Pastor Jim Wilkerson

Open Door Baptist Church - Gaffney, SC - Pastor Louis Batchelor

High Point Baptist Church - Gaffney, SC - Pastor Clifford Phillips

We bought our new van the first week of May, when we started these meetings, and have driven 14,000 miles since then. Because of the high price of gasoline these days, it reminds us of how much we appreciate your help for our ministry. The churches I have listed were some tremendous churches led by some dear men of God. The people so graciously responded to the Lord and His Word in each service. We are so blessed to serve each week with churches like this.  

I must report on the great Camp meeting we had last month in Canton, Texas. It was our best one yet. We enjoyed Bible-centered, Christ honoring preaching presented by Brother Ronnie Barefield, Brother Alan Gullick and Brother Mark Thrift. Our hearts were moved and our walk for Christ was strengthened by each message. The music was as good as it gets, by The Rochester Family, the Wills Family and Living Proof. The Erwin Brothers, (and Katie), sang their hearts out, too. We had an average attendance of 600 each night and saw people from several states attend the meeting. You must make plans to be there next year. Mark you calendar NOW for July 17 - 1. 20061 I want to thank my dear wife. Tiffany, for all she does before, during and after the Camp meeting each year. I want to say a special thank you to those who helped work to make the meeting a success _ it is truly a "team" effort. I so appreciate those of you who came night after night, especially those pastors who brought your church groups. All the financial needs of the Camp meeting were met, because of those of you who gave offerings to the Camp meeting ministry.

 Thank you for your sweet notes and letters after the June mail out. We love to hear from you and it means so much to know that you care enough to write. Please keep us in your prayers as we close out our summer schedule and begin the fall schedule. Please pray that we will have a Harvest of Souls in the coming months. We love each of you and hope to see or hear from you soon.

In Christ,

Dennis Erwin
