To whom it may concern,
My name is Pastor Craig Price, and I am writing this letter of recommendation as a witness
to the testimony of Brother James Simmons. I have known James for a little over sixteen years
and have witnessed his hard work, dedication, and passion for serving the Lord. Through the
time that I have known him, he has proven to be a great help in the different ministries of our
church. For example, he has played a crucial part in our homeless and nursing home ministries,
as well as witnessing to and serving our local community. James has always had a heart for
serving and helping others.
He also has a heart for missions. James attended Crown College in Powell Tennessee for
six years and received his Masters degree. Through that time he studied theology and missions
and has since been called by God to be a missionary to the people of the Republic of Senegal
in West Africa. James has had the opportunity to make two survey trips to the continent of
Africa. The first trip was made in February of 2019 to the West African country of Cote d’Ivoire
with the Mach family, and the second trip was made in February of 2020 to the Republic of
Senegal with the Mead family. During his time with both families, James had the opportunity to
learn about life on the mission field and also about the culture and lifestyle of the people God
has called him to witness to.
Since then, Brother James and his wife Hannah have started deputation and are looking to
enter the mission field as soon as possible. Please consider adding them to your mission family.
Sincerely,
Pastor Craig Price
Sunrise Independent Baptist Church
