Dear Friend,

It is my privilege to write a letter of recommendation for my brother, friend, and colleague, Mark Jones! As he launches out to answer God’s missionary call to Dublin, Ireland, I want to support him in every way possible.

Mark has been a gifted leader here at Calvary in his role as youth pastor. The ministry has flourished both spiritually and numerically. Students have regularly come to Christ and Mark's innovative discipleship program has assimilated them into the family of God.

As their sending church, we are sending the Jones’ out with a strong show of financial backing, but we need others to join us in getting him out. Mark’s wife, Andrea, (herself an MK) is a great example of a godly wife and mother. She adds so much to their mutual ministry, as well their little boys, Grant and Luke.

I encourage you to invite this favored family into your church or home and prayerfully consider becoming a part of their support team. God has great things in store for these choice servants and I give them my highest recommendation!

Thanks for praying about what God would have you to do!

Yours, for missions,


Curt DeGraaff
Senior Pastor
Calvary Baptist Church
