Another season has come and gone.  Snow is falling in Kentucky this morning.  We are preparing for Christmas…my favorite time of year.  Christmas cards and gifts, hot chocolate and sugar cookies decorated with icing and red and green sugar crystals, family getting together, eating and talking and thanking God for another year filled with His blessings!

 2005 has been a great year for He Died for Me Ministries.  God has smiled on us over and over again.  We have traveled to new churches, met new pastors and revisited our old friends one more time.  We have just ended our 5^th Annual Ladies Retreat in Pigeon Forge, TN and all reports were unanimous that this was the best one yet!  Women being blessed and healed and restored and refreshed in His presence was the report night after night.  Great fellowship and worshipping together while Lynda Hylton sang as only she can!

 The theme “Seasons Change” was prophetic for us as we came in one season and left in another!  Lynda’s theme song for the meeting “Our God is Faithful” still resonates in our spirit long after the meeting is over.  We were so blessed again this year by His presence and we are so very thankful and humbled by His visitation.  You can view pictures from our meeting on the Picture Page under 2005 Ladies Retreat.

In October we held our 1^st Annual Fall Campmeeting in Bethel Springs,
TN with much success.  Pastors came from several different states to join us
 for this time of refreshing in His presence.  We were not sure what the
outcome would be as our first campmeeting in this area but in every way we
were thrilled as old friends came in from Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama,
Illinois and several of our friends from the local area.  Night after night we
sang, rejoiced and preached together with pastors and evangelists moving by His leadership reaching for that special touch that only He can give!

We report victory in Jesus in Bethel Springs!  We are so thankful to Sister Marlene Austin for opening her church to
us for the Campmeeting and for all the labor that went into sponsoring the
meeting and preparing the meals for all of us!  She has a true servant church!
We look forward to meeting again next year in October 2006.  Mark your
calendar now to join with us in beautiful west Tennessee!

 We have rented buildings in Illinois and Iowa, South Carolina and Indiana this year.  Each meeting has it’s own special visitation and we are excited to continue next year with regular meetings in these same areas.  Indiana is my hometown and I am so thrilled to be in that area in meeting with my friends and family.  South Carolina is Ronnie’s hometown and it is just as much a thrill for him to have service with his family and friends from years ago now praising God together!  We are hoping to branch out into some new areas in 2006 in buildings perhaps in your area!

 Ronnie is now working on a new project.  It has been a long time since he has produced a new CD and we are hoping to have one ready by the beginning of the new year!  Watch our web site for new release listed on the tape page and his concert page.

 We are so thankful this year for our many friends.  You have prayed faithfully for us and many of you have joined us as a monthly partner to help us fulfill this vision we have to reach the lost at any cost.  There are no words that we could express to sufficiently thank you for all you have done.  You are daily in our thoughts and prayers.  We will not fail to carry this gospel with words of hope, salvation and deliverance for those who are reaching for a lifeline!
