Don Piper Ministries Newsletter and Don's Schedule
The Monthly Newsletter of DONPIPERMINISTRIES.COM
December 2011, Volume 8, Number 12
UPDATED NEWS ON THE MEDIA FRONT…
- It’s the Perfect Christmas Gift…The follow-up to the hugely successful 2010 Christmas Miracles book is 2011’s The Spirit of Christmas, 42 moving yuletide stories that will put you in the spirit. Two of the stories are written by Don Piper and Cec Murphey. Order your copy today for $15, plus shipping, autographed by Don, if you like. What a unique and thoughtful gift.
- Our humble gratitude for making 2011 a year of blessings upon blessings. You are the reason we do what we do. We pray that this Christmas is your merriest ever! Don, Eva, Chris & Scott…the DPM Team.
- The Eva & Nicole Ministry. The response has also been remarkable from those who want to hear the 90 Minutes story from the perspective of two family members who lived it and overcame enormous challenges. Eva Piper has shared her “life-support” message of family, friends and faith in Michigan, Texas, Louisiana, Virginia, Iowa, Alabama and California. Eva’s exciting new book begins at the moment the call came in about Don’s accident (It’s being written now!). And Don and Eva’s daughter Nicole Flenniken was also there during the family’s search for a new normal after the accident. Nicole is an enormously gifted singer, with a degree in choral conducting. She teaches music! Eva and Nicole can bring a message of encouragement and hope in words and music right to your doorsteps. Call today for reservations and information.
- The Bahamas in February! YES, YOU CAN! The 2011Christian Country Magazine Caribbean Cruise is Feb. 4-9, on board the Carnival Fascination. See…CCMnow.com for details. Don speaks and great music will be enjoyed.
AND, the Singing by the Wayside Gospel Music Cruise, on the Carnival Glory, Sept. 26-Oct. 6: New York City, Boston, Maine, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Don will be featured speaker on both cruises. It’s the Bahamas in the winter or the fall leaves of New England in what else, the fall!
- Don says when he speaks, “We’re taking reservations in Heaven today. Are you ready to go?” Well, we’re taking reservations for ministry events in 2012. We have open dates in June, July and August! Call or contact Speak Up Speaking Services, schedule us (yes, Don, Eva, Nicole) to come to your church or organization, and hope is on its way!
October / November in review…
There’s no place like the northeast in the fall, and that’s exactly where our ministry took us. A magnificent speaking tour of Canada was followed by visits to New Hampshire and Vermont. Chris and I even stayed in a hotel “On Golden Pond,” which is actually a lake! Yes, the same place where the movie was filmed. The Lord was so good to us all as I shared in churches in both states. God’s magnificent creation was so in evidence in the beauty of Canada, New Hampshire and Vermont. Eva and I, Kathy Triccoli, Ellie Lofaro and Mike Masri ministered to our shipmates on our Mediterranean Cruise in October. We have two cruises coming up in 2012. Why not join us!
The lecture series I did at Lover’s Lane Methodist Church in Dallas was one of the most meaningful events I’ve had the privilege of being around in years. In November, Eva and I spoke at a lovely banquet at Central Baptist in Georgia and a wonderful ladies luncheon in Conroe, Texas. Following a rally in Buna, Texas, I spent the last part of the month in Florida. We crowned the month with visits to Ohio and Paris… Texas, that is! As we round the bend and down the stretch of 2011, what a glorious and blessed run it has been. Thank you for your prayers. You are in ours.
Here’s what’s happening in the months to come:

This also applies if you have inquired by phone or e-mail,
but have not as of yet received a reply. Please note: Many
are finding that a weeknight event (well promoted, and
perhaps in cooperation with neighboring churches) draws as
many people as Sunday events. So, if Don is already speaking
near you on a Sunday, he can come early to your place or
stay later.
Heaven is real…Jesus is the Way!
