Recommendations
The following recommendations were received from pastors while they were pastoring in the churches listed.
"The best thing a pastor could do would be to have you in their church." Pastor Dave Sjostrom, Grafton, ND Assembly of God
“Dea has the ability to capture people’s attention with his use of humor in a way I have never seen. The most surprising thing to me about his ministry was the way he captivated the 8 to 18 year old crowd. We had numerous testimonies from parents whose elementary age children insisted they not miss a single service”. - Pastor Mike Lawrence, Waldport, Oregon
“I was personally challenged more than ever before in the importance of prayer in my ministry and in my personal life. These few days have transformed my devotional life. I am not the same pastor as before.” - Pastor Steven Conrad, Reynoldsburg, OH
“On the night he ministered on physical healing, I witnessed more miracles of healing on people I personally know (from my own flock) than on any other occasion I can remember. It was wonderful!” -
Pastor Gordon Slyter, Meridian, Idaho
“The solid preaching prepared the people for the righteous acts of God. Souls were saved, people were baptized in the Holy Spirit, healings and miracles followed each service. Our church was truly blessed by his preaching and anointed ministry.” - Pastor James Dabney, Bethany Assembly, San Diego, California
“As it sometimes happens in evangelistic crusades, the numbers will wane as the time progresses. We experienced much the opposite. The congregation was amazingly consistent, with more new faces seen each night. We made inroads into the lives of a new segment of our community. Those who were away from the Lord returned, and many new names were written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” - Pastor William Watson, Bradford, PA
“It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation for the ministry of Dea Warford. He is truly a man of God and it is apparent to me that the Lord sent him to our church as part of his plan to bless us. His ministry did just that. Besides having a strong evangelistic anointing on his ministry, Brother Warford also has a tremendous teaching gift that allows him to take difficult spiritual truths and make them easily applicable to our lives. Dea’s delivery is sprinkled with humor and his level of energy results in no one being bored. He has good rapport with all ages, even our youth paying close attention while he spoke. During ministry at the altar we saw people saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, set free from bondages of various types, and a large number experienced physical healings. Dea is a personal joy to be with. He is very gracious and humbly submitted himself to my pastoral leadership while he was with us, exhibiting a wonderful spirit of cooperation. We look forward to having him back again.” - Pastor Jamie Howell, North Ridgeville, Ohio
“Our altars were full for each service. The power and anointing of the Holy Spirit was very evident. Dea brought a timely message that our church desperately needed.” - Pastor Ken Davis, Nooksack Valley, WA
“Dea had a unique ministry each night of the crusade causing the congregation to attend with high expectation each service. You and your congregation will be encouraged, challenged, changed and renewed.” - Pastor Bradley Huson, Utica, NY
