We thank the Lord for ALL our speaking engagments! We are about to finish up 2007...and it's been great.... and now we are BOOKING MINISTRY DATES for 2008.

A note from our email bag...
Dennis visited my home church, FBC Carrollton,
Tx, years ago and we loved him! Just recently my 73 yr old father got a
Lifeway cd from his SS teacher with short stories alternating with brief
devotionals. He absolutely cackles when listening to them over and over and
over! And.......my 15 yr old twins love listeing on the way to school. |

Dennis, Just caught your show at Raleigh First Church and loved every minute! Voices, and memories from “the good old days” brought back to mind a simpler time of life but also the realization that someday these will be the good old days. It is said that laughter is the best medicine, and with the amount of laughter you have given to others it is only right that the medicine is shared so we are praying that you get great news on the 18th , and continue to bring much needed laughter to many more souls for years to come. Please add us to your email list and share your good news with us later this month so we can join you in praising God for His goodness and mercy. Thanks for the laughs, my side still hurts! Fellow mid 50ers Steve & Gail Reed |

The season of FATHER'S DAY is here - and I want
to thank all DAD's out there for your role and your responsibility you have
to your family and kids! I pray that you never grow weary in your Divine
Duty as a Dad!
Every now and then I get a great SURPRISE
LETTER. I got this one from a Swan Fan down in Texas. His name is Ty!
Check this out, he even went to the extent of using “The Swan” for his
school report -- and can you believe it, he got an “A” What a fine young man
-- he has encouraged me!! Thanks Ty for your kind words.
view Ty's letter and report
Please continue to pray for us as we seek to
encourage others. I did a quick head count for January 2007 till now (June)
and we've been able to ENCOURAGE, FACE TO FACE about 70,000 people! Thank
you for your PRAYERFUL SUPPORT as we've reached out to these folks through
these 68 events!! I just pray that we will be able to continue with the
same intensity -- and we can through your prayers and support.

Dear Dr.
Swanberg,
My son
and I had the pleasure of hearing you speak and meeting you last year when
you came to our little town of Lake Jackson, Texas, for Brazosport
Christian School's 25th anniversary. Ty was 13 at the time and is a major
fan, so it was quite a thrill when he was able to hear you speak and meet
you briefly. I want to thank you for taking the time to shake my boy's
hand and snap a photo with him. He keeps that picture in his room. At the
time I told you about my grandfather, Ty's great grandfather J.B. Cook,
and how watching your videos really cheered and encouraged him during his
treatments for cancer. You asked me to email you the story to remind you
about it; but I forgot until now. At the end of the school year Ty's 8th
grade Bible teacher assigned a written report about their favorite
Christian leader. You guessed it; Ty chose you. With Father's Day coming
up, Ty and I have decided to give a copy of the report to his grandfather
"Pop Pop" as a gift. He'll be 87 years old on his next birthday and he's
still got a great sense of humor! I am sending you a copy of the report,
sure hope Ty got his facts right :) By the way, he got an "A".
Thank you
for your encouraging ministry,

Dear Dr. Swanberg, I was with my family at Central Baptist Church when you came to speak to our church. The night was astounding! You seem to have the best jokes, punch-lines, and funny stories a Christian comedian could have. I loved the message! I'm praying for you so that you will continue making laughs and reaching people's lives. Thank You !
Kyle, age 11
KYLE,
THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS! I LOVED
BEING WITH YOU ALL IN JONESBORO... Y'ALL WERE A TERRIFIC AUDIENCE!!
WE ALL HAD FUN DIDN'T WE!
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GROW
IN CHRIST.. AND REMEMBER TO KEEP A SENSE OF HUMOR - for a Merry Heart
Doeth Like a Medicine!!
Blessings on you and your family!

Dennis,
I just had to write and tell you...I am
so excited I can hardly stand it!
I was at Silver Dollar City this past weekend and saw you. I was so amazed by the Evange Cube that I had to purchase the large one. As I told you, I am an Elementary Principal at a Christian School in Sherwood, AR and I speak in our weekly chapels from time to time. This was my Friday to speak to our 3rd-6th graders. I had assembled my EvangeCube and was eager to get to try it out. I used it this morning and the results have been wonderful!!! The students sat there in amazement as I presented the gospel. As a result, I have had 9 children come by my office to be saved!!! This is wonderful! Revival has broken out in one 4th grade class!!! I know we have been planting the seed since the first day of school, but this tool was just what we needed to help all those seeds grow in those kids hearts. I just can't say enough how thankful I am to you for sharing about this evangelical tool in your program. Because you followed God's leading, 9 precious souls are now going to be with us in Heaven!
Keep up the great job
that you are doing! Oh, and I thoroughly enjoyed your programs this
past weekend. It was such a pleasure to get to meet you in person and
have my picture made with you!
In His service!

The Swan loves Freedom!
July is off to a GREAT START! Fireworks blasting off...celebrating
our Freedom...celebrating God's goodness to all of us. Enjoy this
Month!
I got to experience the 4th of July at home.... a first in over...I
don't know how many years. It was wonderful to be with my family....
golf...grill...goodies...and grace! I hope that your holidays went
well.
I'm off to Alaska with Dr. Charles Stanley.... wish you were going
with me. They are not bad! It's around my 6th cruise to Alaska and I
never tire of it. I'm going again next year to Alaska in June with Dr.
John Hagee...if you want to go next year.... contact our office....or
check out our web site
www.dennisswanberg.com as we will provide updates in the near
future. I want you to go with us! It's gorgeous!
COULD YOU HELP ME?
We are already booking 2007 as I write. But we have many dates
open. If you would like to recommend me to your church, organization,
company or community event... please feel free to do so. Give them my
web site..... and if they are serious about booking me... we can send
them a PR Packet! Your recommendation means everything - I still
believe that WORD OF MOUTH is the best PR PLAN for any
speaker/entertainer.
DID YOU ORDER OUR TWO NEW DVD'S?
I was so blessed to develop "HUG YOUR MOMMA" AND "HE CALLED ME
CHAMP" ON DVD. These two dvd's are tributes to ALL MOMS and ALL DADS!!
You will love these two new products - order them today -and put them
into the DVD Player and enjoy them with your ENTIRE FAMILY!! Purchase a
couple of extras to give to your CHURCH LIBRARY so that many of your
church family members can be blessed as well. OH, on each DVD you also
have the PERSONAL TESTIMONY of my MOM and DAD!!! It's an awesome

Thank you for all your prayers! Believe
you me, I FEEL them - I really do! And they are making a difference. I
couldn't do without them.
May was jam packed... did 24 days in a row.... covering basically 34 cities... whew!! Yes, in 24 days. But your prayers empowered me. Then in June we had a stretch of 11 days in a row. Your prayers again saw me through. Now, July has hit... but it's ok.... I'm going CRUISING WITH DR. CHARLES STANLEY in ALASKA! I'M gonna be 'chillin' for Jesus! But I need your prayers... yes I do. On those cruises... I'm working.. trying to 'encourage the saints' cause they deserve it -and - they need it! Hebrews 10:25
I'm slowing down just a bit this Summer...
trying to spend some time with my Family. Trying to rest...and prepare
for the Fall...because it will be busy as well. Just check our our
Calendar.
Pray for the Entire Swanberg Family. Chad
(our oldest - 24) has come on board at SCM as Director of Ministry
Operations and Dusty is my Road Manager....and consultant (he has provided
me with many stories that people love to hear - Dusty has a good sense of
humor and is gracious to let me share stories as well as put stories on
him- ha). Lauree continues to hold down the Fort at the office. And
Wendy Bradshaw picks up the slack in the office fulfilling many orders as
well as working with many great organizations that book me month to month.
Have a great Summer! We love you guys!
God's Richest Blessings on you!
