To associates of Sheila Arrington,

I am joyfully writing this letter of recommendation for Sheila Arrington. Sheila was an active member of our prayer team for over 10 years. Sheila grew in responsibility over the course of time and was always a dedicated member of the prayer ministry.

Sheila is a dedicated Jesus follower and has been a wonderful part of our church. She was the team lead for the altar prayer team at the 9 am service and maintained relationships with her team members and kept them well organized. Sheila has a great heart for people to know the goodness of God and a passion for all people to grow in faith. In addition to working with her team at 9 am, she also taught a class on prayer on Sunday morning which was well attended from week one until the end. This is significant at our church as we typically see a drop off in attendance at most classes but not at Sheila’s. Her teaching style is engaging and relevant to her group.

Sheila is dedicated to advancing the Kingdom even when personal life circumstances are challenging, for instance when her house had a fire and she was dealing with insurance and financial institutions around that she was still fully engaged in the ministry of the church. Her dedication extended to include many years of being on our Prayer Leadership Team where she served faithfully. She also was a faithful and consistent minister of our Prayer Appointments ministry where she spent about an hour with her prayer partners listening to the prayer recipient and to the Holy Spirit at the same time in navigating and praying over various issues. She also helped to mentor and train many people in both altar prayer and Prayer Appointment ministry.

I heartily recommend Sheila for ministry in your expression of the Kingdom!

Blessings!

Care Pastor, Rob Kistler
