Paul worked hard when he was at the church in Corinth, but he could not fix their feuding factions and financial fights. “Recommendation letters are so goofy that it is disappointing that there is a biblical basis for the practice.” Saint Paul writes recommendation letters for Apollos, a preacher, Phoebe, a deacon, and John Mark, a missionary. Recommendation letters are so goofy that it is disappointing that there is a biblical basis for the practice. I hope you are not like his last four churches.īest wishes, good luck, and know you will be in my prayers, You have learned by now that he has been through some tough times in ministry. You would be fortunate to get him to work for you. Many churches are afraid that their pastor is a workaholic. Some at your church might be uncomfortable if the senior minister were a teetotaler. He does not know any Greek, which can be to the congregation’s advantage. He is getting over his nervousness around old people and young people. He is growing in the area of interpersonal relationships.

As a preacher, he has left himself room for growth. He was in my preaching class quite a few times.

I am writing to recommend that my former student become your senior minister.
