April 2005

Spring has arrived!  The daffodils are peeking through the soil.  Winter is past!  So it is in our own lives.  I feel another season has arrived.  Our expectations are high…we anxiously await His plans for our lives!

Our past three months have been filled with good fellowship returning to churches in Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.  The revival spirit has been high with an outpouring of His Spirit in the meetings night after night.  We held home meetings in Mississippi, morning ladies’ meetings in Tennessee and Florida, rented buildings in South Carolina, Women’s Aglow in Alabama along with our regular revivals.  We are happy to report souls saved, lives changed, sicknesses healed, and visions restored in these meetings!

I feel a revival spirit rising in the hearts of God’s people everywhere.  Just like the daffodil pushing through the soil packed down by continuous snows of winter, I see the hearts of many pressing through for their fresh visitation with a new hunger and thirst for God!

We were so excited to be with Ronnie’s family in revival in South Carolina in the Opry House in Woodruff.  Many of his brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces and old friends came together to fellowship and worship the King!  We are so thankful for our friends that came from North Carolina and Georgia to help Ronnie with the music.  The older we get, the more we are aware of how rich we are because we have friends!

We just completed our 4^th Annual Spring Family Retreat in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee at the Smoky Mountain Convention Center.  The Spring Retreat for families and the Winter Retreat for ladies are two highlights of the year for Ronnie and I.  It is such a time of refreshing in His presence and also has become a time of reunion for old friends and a time to meet new friends.  Each year we have friends coming from new areas leaving with plans to return!  This year we were so excited to have the Bread of Life church from Hot Springs, Arkansas bring their group.  We were also thankful for Paul and his family from Caseyville, Illinois and Missouri coming to help Ronnie with the music.  When everyone comes together with their gift from the Lord, we are all blessed.  Jack and Kathy have been so faithful to be with us at each retreat singing, playing guitar and keyboard and becoming our extra set of hands.  Carletta and Charles helping set up equipment before anyone arrives is a labor of love with not much recognition.  They are a valuable part of the meetings.  The Bible Church in Johnson City, Tennessee have been faithful in both retreats to video tape, take pictures for the web site, and help with our tapes at the meetings.  There is so much work to be done to prepare for the meeting and to make everything come together….we could not do this without their help.  We are so thankful for the friends God has sent our way to help in every area of these meetings!  Because of everyone working together so tirelessly, we report victory once again!  We are thankful for miracle healings and touches of His presence, the Holy Ghost being poured out on our friends from Arkansas and every life that was changed in His Presence!

Ronnie and I are on television in the Moline, Illinois area twice weekly.  The people of the Quad Cities can tune in every Thursday at 10:00PM and Friday at 3:00PM for one of our live services from down through the years.  My brother, Mike, is also on Tuesday at 7:00PM on the same station.  I know you will be blessed watching old time preaching, singing and lifting up the precious name of Jesus Christ!

Our vision for this summer is to purchase editing equipment for the television ministry.  Once we have capabilities to edit our taped services, we would like to extend this ministry into other areas.  We are open for your input.  We have several areas on our heart and will investigate the cost required for these areas.  If you are aware of a station in your area, email us at trammellministry@aol.com with the information.  If you would like to consider becoming a partner with us in this ministry, you may do so by sending your love gift to He Died For Me Ministries, Post Office Box 125, Willisburg, KY  40078. 

 We are looking forward to seeing you this Spring in a meeting nearby.  Please pray with us for souls to be born into the Kingdom of God!  We love you.  God bless you.
