"Dea Warford and his family are members and active servant leaders at Norco California Foursquare Church. He moved to our area last year and joined our local church wholeheartedly. I've known his children for an even longer time from my season serving them as Dean of Students and then as a professor at Life Pacific College.  I can assure you Dea is an exemplary husband, father, and a committed disciple of Christ. His family is a wonderful reflection of his Christian testimony with both his children pursuing Christian service with exemplary character and passion. 

Though Dea travels most weekends speaking in various churches and venues nationally and internationally, he is still actively involved in leading and training leaders at our local church when he is in town. He is a blessing in so many ways.

Last December, we scheduled Dea to preach to our congregation at our two Sunday services. I asked him to help release the gift of evangelism in our church. We were preparing to do some Christmas outreaches to our community and needed the power of the Holy Spirit to help us. He shared biblically, practically, and humorously about the ministry of the local church evangelist and the traveling evangelist. I asked him to lay hands upon and pray for those in our congregation who felt they might have the gift of evangelism. Additionally he prayed for all of us to, as Timothy was commanded, "do the work of an evangelist" whether it is our gift or not. Something happpened of supernatural and eternal consequence. 

Over the next couple of weeks, we saw 32 individuals accept Christ as Lord through the various ministries of our church. I believe the Lord used Dea to help release the gift of evangelism in our church.  I'm convinced he is an Ephesians 4 equipping gift.  I know his ministry can be a blessing to you too.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can answer any questions regarding Dea Warford and his ministry.  I highly recommend him to you.

Sincerely,
W. Patrick Crowder, Senior Pastor, Foursquare Church, 1116 6th Street, Norco,  California 92869 Phone-951-737-1518
