Available to Pastor--Prefer Black Congregation

[Dr Barry Lee Weddle]

To Whom It May Concern:

If you are looking for a Senior Pastor who is full of Holy Spirit power, anointing, and preaches the old-time gospel, yet who is proficient in using contemporary ministry tools such as internet broadcasting, television, web-ministry, servant-evangelism, small-groups, and modern worship; then, we believe that your church and our ministry may possibly be a match.

Our primary assignments, given by the Holy Spirit, are soul winning, discipleship, personal prayer and devotion, preparation and execution of Sunday messages, and vision casting for church direction.

The Lord has gifted us, as well, to take the general oversight of church resources including staff, finances, and facilities, while working in cooperation with the church board or pastor’s council. For these reasons, we believe the Lord has equipped us to take your Church to the next level.

Upon request, I would be most happy to provide sample Sunday sermons on Compact Disc. Feel free to peruse our websites for information about our ministry. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to call my cell phone and I will answer all questions completely and truthfully. We stand in agreement for the Lord’s direction for you and us.

We have been thoroughly vetted by the Pentecostal Church of God of America, (SoCal District), and Legacy Alliance through Bishop Mark Chironna. Dr. Chironna states – “We have a thorough examination process for anyone seeking to affiliate with us, and Barry was more than accommodating in providing accurate and thorough information. I count him more than a co-laborer in the gospel; I count him a faithful friend. Dr. Barry Weddle is one of the most powerful apostolic and prophetic voices in the nation. I whole-heartedly recommend him to your church.”

Yours in His Exciting Service,

 

Barry Weddle, PhD
