Dear Fellow Pastors,
I consider it a privilege to ask you to consider Rick Gage for an evangelistic crusade in your area. Rick is truly a God-anointed evangelist with a heart for the Lord, lost people, and the local church. You will find him to be one of the most genuine, sincere, humble, and cooperative men of God who you would ever hope to work with in such an effort.
Rick is God’s gift to Small Town, USA, when it comes to county or areawide crusades. His Biblical preaching is beyond reproach. A very strong advocate of the ministry of the local church, he promotes strongly that new converts follow through with their decisions in the local church and become active members.
Rick has a very inviting and welcoming appeal to those he meets. His preaching, his presence in the community, his speaking in school assemblies, etc., brought us in Henry County, Tennessee, a spiritual harvest unlike any I have ever seen in forty years in the pastorate -- outside of a Billy Graham Crusade. God has gifted Rick with a powerful message of Gospel truths. The people “hear him gladly,” and they respond with even more gladness of heart.
Our community will be blessed for many years to come because of the life-changing decisions that were made during our recent Greater Kentucky Lake GO TELL Crusade. More than 120 churches were represented in attendance during the week.
Believe me, pastors, when it comes to Rick Gage -- his preaching, his invitation appeals, his demeanor, his way with the public corporately and privately, and his organization, you will never have to worry about apologizing to your people for anything except why didn’t we pray more and work harder. God has anointed Rick’s ministry, and it is evident the moment you meet him.
My experience with GO TELL was one of the most thrilling and inspiring experiences of my ministry. I am so thankful Rick came to our small town and considered it a divine appointment he could not ignore. I recommend Rick Gage and GO TELL Crusades to you without any reservation. God bless you as you consider your community’s evangelistic future in ministry partnership with a GO TELL Crusade and my new, dear friend in Christ, Rick Gage.
Respectfully yours,
Jerry W. Massey
Pastor, First Baptist Church, Paris Tennessee
