Jerry Bennett

Canada!!!

Jerry will once again be headed to Canada in August. He met some Canadians while he was wintering in Texas. They helped to get him booked at several locations in Ontario for 2007. He was well received and they are wanting him back again.

Visit the Personal Testimony page to view a letter from someone whose life was touched while he was there in 2007.

South Texas!!!

Jerry once again avoided the cold and snow by spending his winter ministering along the Gulf Coast of Texas and into the Rio Grande Valley. He just hates the cold and snow plus the Winter Texans make him feel right at home there. He had a wonderful winter season there but is looking forward to Spring and heading North!

He tried something new this year in Rockport by hosting a singing with a live band one evening. This was extremely well received and Jerry sang to a packed house! Many of his Winter Texan friends put in many, many hours to help pull such a large project off - our hats off to them!

NEWS ON JERRY’S HEALTH:

Jerry still has to stay on top of his blood sugar and returns to the doctor every few months for test. His blood sugar has generally been under control with the daily insulin shots and medication that he is taking. Remember when inviting Jerry to share a meal or snack with you, he can not have anything with sugar in it and he avoids carbs. Jerry also tires easily and late in the afternoons he will have a "down" time when he needs to rest.

Jerry Available for Revivals:

Jerry has been doing many three and four day revivals. Besides being blessed with songwriting, singing, and piano playing ability, Jerry can bring a wonderful word to a congregation. He has been accused many times recently of receiving advance notice from a pastor of what he needs to preach on. This is not the case. He just has a wonderful anointing from the Lord as to what a congregation needs.
