Br. Dan,
I just saw Rapid City on the weather and the Lord laid you on my heart to write.
Hang in there brother and no matter what happens...never allow yourself to get discouraged!! I learned a long time ago that the devil is in charge of discouraging us. I'm not saying that I can't be, but with my background, ( not giving a rip about anything), It's hard for me to be discouraged! God is so good to us all of the time!! I only had 8 people show up for the Lord's table on Sunday evening! But Praise God for the eight!!! AMEN?? Keep on keepin on has been our motto!! We're praying for you, Amanda, Michaela(I know I spelled it wrong), and the new addition!!

We love ya and are pulling for ya!!

Lord Bless Ya!!!
Br. Dave

I finished listening to Pilgrim's Progress here at your site. What a blessing! I've tried reading it numerous times but couldn't get past the old English. Max just has a way of pulling you in. Thank you for hosting this wonderful audio.

I also watched your mission video. We are members of Wycliffe Bible Translators. The other day I was reading a colleague's prayer letter. They are in the "home stretch" of their program, very close to publication of the New Testament. In the letter he wrote about attending a funeral in the village of a very old Christian man. He said very soon that language group will be able to open God's Word in their heart language and read about heaven and God's promise to those who've accepted Jesus as their Savior.

Saying goodbye to people we love and care about is hard. We've attended a number of funerals the past couple of years of friends and family members. Having that promise of Heaven to cling to gets us through it. Hearing a minister tell about eternal life is comforting, but nothing compares with reading those passages in your own Bible, in your own heart language.

Thank you again for the resources you make available on your site. It's especially great for people, such as missionaries, who live on foreign soil and who do not have access to much in English where they are assigned. Even more so, new missionaries who haven't yet mastered the new language.

Thank you so much for your website and all of the beautiful music! I've been missing the old paths so much, it is healing to come home to it and to enjoy it tonight as I seek God's guidance in my life's trials. I want to say thank you so much for all of the time and effort you have put into this website! I was discouraged tonight and seeking a connection with some counseling for my trials looking for the old paths.... I found your site. The music you have blessed my heart so much with, it has been comforting as I've navigated your site to hear it. I so greatly enjoyed your recorded music too! "I have been blessed" is my favorite song along with "God has been good", and your voices are so beautiful to me. Is there any way I can purchase a CD of your music??? Please let me know, I would love to have "I have been blessed" and "The Old man is dead"....any others too!

Thank you, Heather

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your message today at Temple Baptist Church. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. My prayers are with you and your family. Your prayer card is going on my wall. God Bless You.
Paul Johnston Jr.

I just wanted to write you a short message that I enjoyed so very much your sermon, and wonderful singing this morning. Your daughter is a delight, you should be so proud. My little 5 year old nephew told me on the way home that she was really good.
I say AMEN to your daughter's singing!!! She brought happy tears to my eyes. I pray for all of you, and your mission, and that GOD blesses you all as you travel, and speak GOD'S WORD! You are awesome, Brother Dan I enjoyed listening to you this morning, as well as my 13 year old nephew. May GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Pastor Sherwood, I was so excited to receive your email and so glad that God has made a way for you and your family in your ministry. I enjoyed your sermon when you visited us. Your message was so REAL. You speak at a level that everyone understands and your PASSION for GOD is exciting and contagious. I will pray for you and your family, but as we know, GOD has already made a way for you and I believe through FAITH, you and your ministry have already been blessed and GOD has and will continue to open doors.
I believe in you and what GOD has for you, your family and your ministry. What a dynamic testimony and personality. You have surely recognized your gifts and are using them to GLORIFY HIM. I will add you to my daily prayer list and when possible will try to support you financially. THANK YOU for being willing to be used by GOD.

Looking forward to your help in the western United states, and specifically helping our "Revival of Hope" 4th of July Week.

We will reach four outlying cities with no Baptist church. I'm sure South Dakota is like Montana where entire counties have no Baptist Church.

We are praying as you are raising support and encourage everyone to get behind you and your family to raise the extra $550 per month.

Hey Bro Dan,
Just been thinking about you and wondering if you were going to be able to make our campmeeting next week. I sure hope so. Let me know. I have been praying for you and your ministry.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your family coming by on Sunday night. How the service blessed my heart, I so needed to hear the message. The music and preaching both helped me. God bless your family and ministry. Will be praying for you all as you start heading to South Dakota. God bless, Shekinah

Hello, brother Dan.

Enjoyed last night. You and your family where and are a blessing. Keep in touch and may God continue to bless your ministry. Your brother in Christ, Milton.

Hi there, your video presentation about the gospel has been a blessing to me, i would like to apply that idea...
God bless

Bro Dan and Family,

Thank you so much for coming by our way at MBC last night. Your family was such a blessing and inspiration to our church family.

While I was in prayer this morning, I called your name out to the Lord in thanks and supplication asking that our God will do the
"Exceedingly Abundantly Above" work in your life and ministry. God bless you my brother.
Because of Calvary,

Pastor Dell

Dear Bro. Dan,

You and your family have been a blessing to us. We are praying for you and how God is and will continue to use you.

In Christ love,

Stephen Doolittle

Hi Bro. and Sister Sherwood,

Our family has been blessed to have met you at this past conference at Ridgeview Baptist. We hope to see again, maybe at another mtg. amen!

God Bless,
Scott Allen and family

Dear Bro. & Sister

What a joy it was to view and to listen to your website. Amen, your music is a blessing.

We are missionary church planters to Arizona. We have been in Az for 21 yrs. Hope you will soon have CD's of your music or even sheet music. What a blessing to our hearts.

Our prayers are with you.
Pastor Luther Quintana & Sandy & Michelle

Hello Sherwoods! :)

We are excited about your arrival here in the West, and cannot wait to meet you all in person! Keep in touch and let us know how things are progressing for you!

Doug Baker

Praying for your ministry...

Bro. Wes

Hi Dan,
Good to hear how the Lord is blessing you. I have your prayer card and pray for you and your ministry (including deputation) two or three times per week.
Greetings to your dear mom, and all the other Sherwoods.
Keep up the good work,
Bill

Just want to say how wonderful it was to have your family at our Church..It was a wonderful time in the LORD..Hope yall can come back soon..IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING..GOD BLESS..SIS Linda

Writing you in hopes of encouraging our newest missionary! Any family that gives up their lives to serve God will get attacked and discouraged, and I want you to know that we are praying for you, your family and your ministry.

Last time you came was such a blessing to our church. We went to the missions conference in hopes of seeing you preach again. Your wife was lovely as well as your daughter. She was just adorable. The Lord has blessed you with a talented beautiful family. My daughter Elizabeth is the same age and often talks about her friend. When we visited your website we enjoyed much of what is on there, including the song she sings. She is so cute!

I can not wait to see you all again. We love missionaries at our church, we really love seeing them, hearing from them, and praying for them. They are very special to us. When you have time to update us, please do. We love to hear how our missionary families are doing, there needs and prayers. Thank you so much for giving up your life to serve God.

Hey Bro. Dan and Sister Amanda, I am from Faith Baptist Church and I enjoyed the singing and message from u that u did at new hope on Halloween night. I am praying for u and ur family.

Bro Sherwood,
I want to thank you for being one of our missionaries. My people love you and your family and the work God has called you to do.
Thank you so much for your friendship as well. If you ever need me for anything please let me know. I cant promise you I would be any help but I would sure do my best to try and help.

"keep on the firing line"

Bro Tim

BROTHER DAN ,
RECEIVED YOUR PRAYER LETTER, PRINTED IT AND WILL POST IT ON THE CHURCH BULLETIN BOARD. WE ARE BLESSED TO BE ONE OF YOUR SUPPORTING CHURCHES.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR THE WORK YOU ARE DOING.

JACK

Hey Bro. Dan & Sister Amanda,
Just wanted to say I enjoyed the message you preached at New Hope on Halloween Night! You and your wife are such a blessing to me, with your wife's sweet spirit and your preaching! We were visiting New Hope that night from Faith Baptist and we always enjoy your presence at our church as well! Both you and your wife have a very sweet and obedient spirit to the Lord! Thanks for being such a blessing and We're praying for you!
-Kelsey

I was surfing through the Baptist sites this morning and came across your wonderful page! You are in South Dakota to boot! We love South Dakota. Our 5yr old son is named Dakota , after the Dakotas. :-)

I wanted to ask if you could steer me in the direction of where I can get a 1611 KJV bible for my husband and I. Perhaps a place that donates them? We don't even care if they are good and broke in. :-) We just recently come back to the IFB faith. Well my dear husband was raised IFB and I am all new to it and so glad to be apart of it! God is so good. AMEN! Amen.

If you have any suggestions, we would be most grateful. Thank you.

Hey there Bro. Dan, just a note to say hello and see how things are going.
Just spent some time on your web site. Truly enjoyed the music, it's good to hear you guys sing for the Glory of God!! Susan and myself had the opportunity to sing in yesterday's service. "A Hill Called Mt. Calvary" We will be leaving to go to Susan's parents house on Sat. the 14 for the Thanksgiving Holiday . We will also stop in LA. to see my sister and her family along the way. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel as we keep you and your family in ours.
God Bless and take care my Friend.

Hey Brother Dan! We just was on your website and wanted to sign the guest book! We go to Calvary Baptist Church. We wanted to thank you for coming and being a blessing just not to our whole church but the youth mainly. Your song touched us and lead one of our good friends to the lord. So thank you! and god bless you!

Hey there Bro. Dan!! Just a how do you do? We miss you guys!! It's always a great joy to see you. You are a very big blessing to us and I'm sure with everybody else you come in touch with. We think of you and your wife often and how we enjoy your music and preaching. Just keep on keeping on and we hope to hear from you soon. We pray for you daily, we keep your prayer card before us to serve as a reminder and it makes a nice addition to the family album.
Phil and Susan Baker

Bro. Dan I just wanted to let you know how blessed we were to have you and your precious family visit our church. I know that God has a great work in store for you. God bless you!!!

My dad is the pastor at Calvary Baptist Church. We are so excited about what God is doing at the church. Thank you and your family for coming on Sunday night WOW, what a meeting!

Thanks again and GOD Bless,
Jennifer
Luke 7:47

Bro Dan,

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much of a blessing you and your family were to our church Sunday night. It was an awesome time in the Lord. We thank you for being obedient to God’s will. Again I say thanks and hopefully we will see you soon.

Keven Miner

Hello Preacher Dan!

You were at my church (Faith Baptist) on last Wednesday night. You were preaching and blessing my soul! I had my two girls and another teen age boy with me. We had to leave the service early that night to get this boy home. His stepmother wants us to have him home by 9:30 on school nights, so we have to leave before the service is over often times.
The only time he hears the word of God preached is when we take him to church with us, so I don't want to make his parents mad. I want them to let us take him as much as he's willing to go. It bothers me to have to leave early sometimes, but my Preacher Tim knows why. I just did not want you to think that we were being disrespectful to you, God's man.

You are a blessing to me and my family every time you come! I sure would like to hear you sing that song, "The Old Man is Dead" when you come again. You are a joy and we appreciate your family.

God Bless You!
Penny Clinton - It's good to be saved!

Your music is wonderful, what a testimony. I downloaded them so I could listen to them while working on my computer and hear such beautiful music. Thank you for inviting me to listen and see your ministry.

Bro. Dan,

You and your wife do a wonderful job on the song, "I Have Been Blessed". That's the first time that I have heard that song, it blessed my heart. We are blessed by God in so many ways. Keep us in your prayers.

Bro. Mark W.

This is Jonathan Morgan. I just wanted to thank you for putting the songs "I Have Been Blessed" and "My New Name" on the website. I was hoping you would.

Was great hearing your message on Lot. The singing and preaching were great. May God bless you greatly in your missions work!

Bro. Dan, Amanda, and Michala, I go to Victory Baptist. I loved your video and am so happy God gave you such a strong burden for South Dakota. It's crazy how many people "next door" or "across the street" there are in America that don’t know the Truth of God's Word and His plan for Salvation. I wanted to let you know I'm teaching Sunday school this quarter. Last year we took up an offering every week for a missionary in Ireland. At the end of the summer we sent it to him and his family. This summer we'll take up an offering for the Sherwood’s going to South Dakota. I'm excited to see God work and wanted to let you know my Sunday school class and I will be praying fervently for you and your family:).

Bro. Dan
Again, I just would like to thank you and your family for joining us at Blessed Hope Baptist Church on Wednesday night. It was indeed a blessing from God that you came into out midst. I'm sure that our congregation that was there will count this service as one of the most moving mid-week services that we've had in quite some time. You and Amanda are very dynamic in your witness for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and we know that God has great plans for your ministry in the future. We at Blessed Hope look forward to the day when you can come back our way and fellowship with us again. My God continue to bless you and your family.

Bro. Jeff Melton

Bro.Dan
I enjoyed your visit to Wayside Baptist Church last night. Their is a need for Jesus to be preached in are country. As a nation we have turned are back on God. And as Christians we have failed to to take a stand for the Lord. Keep up the good work.
God bess Audie

Hey Brother Dan, Sister Amanda and sweetie pie!

How are you all doing? Just had you all on my heart and wanted to say hello and tell you we love you and miss you! I know the Lord is using you mightily, and I'm so thankful for the way you all lift up our Saviour! Take care and hope to see you soon!

Hey Guys, I was checking out your guitar on eBay and clicked on to your website, love your music, I really liked the old man is dead, did you write that? Keep singing it!!! Take care, Joe

Hey Bro. Dan how are you all doing? Maybe I should start out saying hello KungFu Panda? I hope I am not interrupting your workout. Praying for you all. Keep it up man!

Good Morning Friends!!
I want you all to know what a blessing you were to us at South Haven Monday night. I have listened to the recording of your music from that night and rejoiced with you in song all week. I wish you could've stayed with us longer. God is really moving in this effort for REVIVAL. I am praying, preparing and EXPECTING God to take our church to a higher plain! Thank you for being a part of it. Bro. Dan, Michael says you should let Amanda sing more! She has a beautiful voice!! We appreciate you both and your service to the LORD. I am thankful for the kindred spirit and fellowship we have. Thank you for your friendship. Michala, I love you, Sweetie! You're so special!! We love you all and look forward to seeing you again, soon!

All for HIM,
Ginny

Hi Bro. Dan Sherwood & Family!

Have come across your site and am intrigued and refreshed by your ministry and the fact you seem to be one of the few who have not yoked with the state in incorporation. My son, age 19, is feeling the call to ministry, but refuses to link with a church that is incorporated. Searching for an unregistered church that is uncompromising and faithful to the Gospel has been a frustrating task, although we have enjoyed some great preaching at a church we've attended in AR and my sons and husband have been attending the Bible Institute there, but have been unable to join. Our family is willing to relocate. Do you know of any good, conservative unregistered Baptist churches? How does a young fellow, feeling the call to ministry, yet knowing he must be sent out from a local church find his way in a day when the majority of churches are registered with the state?

Currently, we are in the Memphis, TN area helping our ailing parents. We have lived in northeast AR for 9 years and are willing to relocate to a good church but are feeling led to help our parents right now and would be thrilled if we could find a church within driving distance to Memphis. Do you know of any unregistered independent uncompromising Baptist people or local Baptist churches in the AR or TN areas?

Thanks. I appreciate what your family is doing for the Lord.

Blessings, Tamara

Brother Dan,
Just wanted to touch base with you and the family. We love you all and we pray for ya'll daily. We have Revival next week, if you are in town, we would love to see you and have ya'll come and sing. I don't know how your schedule is, but I have Brother Rackley preaching Monday the 23rd - Friday the 27th. Service time is 7:00pm. We love you brother, hope all is well. I like that picture for hear preaching now!!!

Bro. Dan I am a evangelist and street preacher, and I have been out to Sturgis bike rally preachin. Good place to plant a church. You know bro. Erdos in Blackhawk or bro. Holden in Sturgis? Look 'em up, both got good churches. God bless brother, you ever need a hand holler at me.

Your bro. in Christ
Bro. Crabtree

Hey Bro.Dan and family,
I love your website. Wanted to let you know we are praying for you and your family. We hope to see you tonight at Bro.Jim Veitch's church with Bro.Sammy Allen, we have been having a ball at the revival this week and so far seven souls have been saved. I want to thank you Bro.Dan for all the years that you helped me to reach out to other people and give them the Gospel so they could be saved. I learned from your well balanced preaching to love people and to tell them the truth about their sin, but not to beat them over the head with a billy stick. Thank GOD for The Old Paths Baptist. Keep up the good work, and I pray that GOD will continue to bless you and your family!!!

Hello Bro. Dan,
I stumbled on your website today. It's amazing how God works! I was googling Micah Henson's death. I just found out! They sang at the campmeeting last summer held at Sunlight Baptist here in Kernersville, NC. I saw your video clip to SD. WOW! My husband and I ride motorcycles. We rode to Sturgis 2005. Beautiful scenery out there! I will be praying for your ministry work!

Bro. Sherwood, I appreciate your stands for God. I thank God it is still possible to find men interested in birthing churches. I am out of the Arnold Baptist Tabernacle in St. Louis. James Beller is my Pastor. (Author-America in Crimson Red, Soul of St, Louis, ect.) We just held meetings and knocked doors in another area of St. Louis. It is in the shadow of a Muslim Prayer tower. If the Lord allows us, it will be A.B.T.s 7th church plant. It is great to find your info. and strong promotion of church planting. I travel the country and hold Baptist Heritage Conferences. The main goals are to give people the correct history and to promote birthing churches. We also do soulwinning, ect. while with churches. If I can ever be a help to you, contact me. (ps. I found you while looking up info. on Micah Henson) (pss. We are also promoters of strong standards, ecclesiastical separation from the state, and Local Baptist Church only!)

Bro. Dan,
My name is Scott. My wife and I are former Marines and we reside in Jacksonville N.C. (Camp Lejeune) I manage a car dealership, and feel led to try to help you and your ministry, can individual families provide monthly support or only churches? By the way I loved the video, our new Pastor just came here from the state of Washington and it is amazing how un-churched and lost that region of the country is, I guess kinda like S.D.
