From
Glenn and Linda Dawson
Our
programs contrast illusion-ridden world we live in to the reality of
God, our Father and Creator. Only God can do miracles. All
our so called "Magic" are tricks for entertainment and we clearly say
so at the beginning of our program. We explain that we are going to
fool our audience for the purpose of entertainment and then proceed to
do so.
We
use these visual illustrations because nearly all we hear, we tend to
forget within a week. We remember more of what we see, and remember
most of what we see and hear much longer. Jesus Himself was a wonderful
illustrator. We have baptism and the Lord's Supper as visual
remembrances.
We began a full-time ministry in Texas near the end
of 1990. After 12 years under the Lord's leadership, we've
relocated our home base here in Kentucky. Our heart's desire
is to serve the Lord, share His message of salvation with others and be
of benefit to those about us, wherever we can. We believe God
wants to use us to lead souls to Christ, which is our main focus in all
we do. We are called to serve our LIVING LORD.
God's
so faithful in leading us. We trust that God will use us as
we accept His calling on our lives as Evangelists here in Kentucky and
across the country, and that we encourage, edify and lift up all we
come into contact with through our lives and our ministry.
Linda
and I have been married 32 years. We are mostly musicians
(Glenn) and story-tellers (Linda) sharing what God is doing to and
through us. We minister to adults with instruments, singing,
and testimony; and to children through ventriloquism, illusions and
felt board stories that illustrate and emphasize Biblical teachings in
an entertaining way. Since 1977 we were active members of
First Baptist Pflugerville in Pflugerville, Texas. Currently
we are members of Immanuel Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky.
We've
available for concerts, Sunday schools, Bible schools, youth camps,
banquets and other church activities.
What Others are Saying
Glenn
is a very talented musician, and plays many different instruments. His
style ranges from Southern Gospel, Country, Jazz and Smooth Listening. The
South Texas Gospel Music Association voted him the Gospel Musician of
the Year. He is endorsed by the North American
Mission Board of the SBC.
Using illusions--that always point children and adults to the
Lord Jesus--he presents the gospel and entertains children of
all ages. He is also a ventriloquist who presents the truths
of the Lord in humor. Glenn and Linda are known for their
hard work and their willingness to serve others.
Their
accompaniment music is created in their own small music production
facility using computers to create wonderful arrangements of music in
many styles. These styles can be adjusted to meet the needs of many
different tastes. This music is reproduced at performance via computer
to give a live feel to the performance. Linda operates the computer and
sound end of the ministry. She also is available to present
the gospel through Felt Board Stories.
RECENT ENGAGEMENTS
Hundreds
of public appearances in Kentucky
Glenn and Linda have had hundreds of public
appearances the last few years. Their schedule continues to fill up.
They worked for four years full time as staff at Country Place Jamboree
in Frankfort, Kentucky. Linda was Stage Manager there and Glenn was
member of the band and house cast for a family entertainment show
there. They also have monthly shows for The Holiday Retirement
Corporation at two locations, Ashwood Place in Frankfort and Hartland
Hills in Lexington, as well as others in and around
Lexington. In the years before they worked primarily
in Texas and some of the other southern states in the US from Louisiana
to Florida.

Recommendations
"Invite Glenn and Linda Dawson
to come to your next church or social event! We’ve used them multiple
times for our single adult conferences. We have been immensely pleased
every time. Glenn plays the smoothest sax you’re likely to
ever hear. Whether you want romantic oldies or jazzed up hymns he will
mix it up as you prefer. It is definitely quality
stuff. Their spirit as well as their music honors
Christ. We highly recommend!”
Dr.
James Stillwell, Adult Life Pastor, Immanuel
Baptist
Church, Lexington, KY
"I
am thankful for Glenn and Linda Dawson and their ministry of
music. I have known Glenn for about 40 years and two years
ago Glenn and Linda responded to our invitation to play for our morning
worship service. Our church was truly blessed through their
music. I am convinced that God has chosen Glenn and Linda to
bless those that seek Him through music and encourage you to invite
them to also be a part of your worship service."
Pastor
Larry W. Adkins
Mount
Vernon Baptist Church
Frankfort,
KY 40601
"Glenn
Dawson has a kind spirit and a wonderful attitude. He carries that over
to his music and plays like someone without a care in the world. His
music has a very mellow pleasing sound. He is versatile and can play
several instruments and many, many different styles. I would (and have)
highly recommended Mr. Dawson to anyone that would like to have a
pleasant and enjoyable musical experience."
Ashley
Russell
Activity
Director, Ashwood Place
"Glenn Dawson has
performed for Hartland Hills and is a wonderful musician. He is not
only an exceptional musician, but an outstanding performer. Glenn
Dawson is a fine example of a gentleman and a professional. He is
recommended among many of my residents.
Leslee Pedigo
Hartland Hills,
Activity Director
“I
have known Glenn and Linda personally since October of 2002. Glenn
Dawson is a gifted musician. Glenn possesses the unique ability to
play, sing and share. "
"Shannon
R. Back, Pastor
Broadway
Baptist Church
“As you read this you will
conclude that God has blessed Kentucky by leading Glenn and Linda to
move to Lexington. Knowing them first by way of family members, and now
in person, I am convinced that anyone would be greatly blessed by using
their varied gifts and I would encourage you to use them
worship services, revivals, conferences, banquets and special
events. You will find their ministry is effective with all
age groups."
Albert Gisler
Retired Pastor/Evangelist
“I
want to commend to you the work of Glenn and Linda Dawson. It was my
privilege to serve as pastor for these two wonderful Christian servants
for over 12 years. God has blessed them with far more than
their share of spiritual gifts, and they use all of them to praise Him
and share His wonderful message of salvation through Jesus
Christ. Glenn's spirit-filled ministry on musical instruments
has no equal among music evangelists. And their combined
diversity in so many other ministry areas, together with their
commitment to preparation and hard work, makes them an effective
evangelism tool indeed in God's hands.”
Dr. Steve Washburn ,
Senior Pastor
Pflugerville First
Baptist Church, Pflugerville, TX.
FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
We come to any church
WITHOUT financial requirements.
Linda and I are both
retired and God has provided for our daily financial needs.
We are blessed that
we've been able to afford far more in the ministry than we've received
financially over the years we've been doing the work of the Lord.
When asked, if there
is anyway we can possibly come we do.
Our programs are
professional in appearance. We do the very best we know how to do.
We work hard because
we love it and want to be the best we possibly be since the One who
loves us so much gave us His all.
