2002 was filled with many new horizons for Ronnie and I.

We held our first Spring Revival in Pigeon Forge, TN. We had 4 great services with a special concert on Friday night with Chris and Lynda Hylton from Birmingham, AL, Willing Vessels from Mount Airy, NC, Jeff Vaughn from Royston, GA and our own Ronnie Trammell. We have reserved the SMOKY SHADOWS CONFERENCE CENTER for this year.  Alongside the Little Pigeon River, this will be a welcome break at the end of winter.  Outdoor grills, picnic area with sheds and fireplace on the bank of the river with fishing for small mouth bass will make a great way to spend your afternoon between services!  Make plans now to attend!

Tent season was a great success with lives being changed in Moline, IL and Gadsden, AL. We rented a tent in Illinois for the first time this year. We missed the extra room from our 50x75 but the outpouring of the Holy Ghost was the same. We are looking forward to this summer again in the Quad Cities even though our tent lot has been sold. We are actively seeking a new lot for this summer’s meeting. Please keep us in your prayers as we find God’s will for that area. We will be preaching a Campmeeting with Dove Fellowship near that area in Olds, Iowa during the month of August. Illinois and Iowa watch our web and upcoming newsletter for details.

November was our 2^nd Annual Ladies Winter Retreat in Pigeon Forge, TN. We had 242 women this year with 4 great days with an outpouring of His Spirit. God visited us with a fresh fire to carry back to our local churches. We have reports of His visitation on Sunday morning in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and many more areas. The coals they received in the retreat were carried with them to the ladies unable to attend. We had several new areas represented this year….Pennsylvania, Michigan, Louisiana, Mississippi with many new churches. We would like to thank all of you for joining with us to make this year even more successful than the first! We have begun preparations for 2003 and the dates will be November 20-22..

We have several Ladies Meetings set already for this year. Our first Florida Retreat in Melbourne during February (see front page for details). Spirit of Life Ladies Retreat in Zion, IL  April 2-6 and the 1^st Annual Buchanan County Ladies Retreat in Grundy, VA at the Community Center on May 9 and 10.

In 2002 we visited many new churches and old friends we had not seen in a long time. We are excited to be back with our old friends after such a long time and so happy to meet so many new pastors. We report victory in 2002 and are excited to see what He has in store for 2003.

Watch our web site for upcoming events and for the release of Ronnie’s newest CD hopefully to be ready within the next two months. He already has songs prepared that will be a blessing to the body of Christ.

We love you and thank you for all your prayers and support during 2002. Please join with us in 2003 to reach a greater number of souls and see a greater outpouring of His presence than we did last year. We must have prayer warriors joining with us to see the salvation of souls in America….our greatest mission field.
