Dear Pastor, Missions Committee Leader, Supporter of God's Mission …

SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION OF TODD AND AMY CHURCHILL, NEW MISSIONARY CANDIDATES TO AFRICA.

I write today to introduce and recommend to you TODD and AMY CHURCHILL and son Daniel, newly approved for missionary appointment by the Assemblies of God World Mission agency. I do so with delight. The word "new" is hardly appropriate for the Churchills. They have done ministry in several countries, but most recently, they spent two years leading a pastors' training school in Kinshasa, the burgeoning capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire).

Todd and Amy, and their son Daniel, have lived among the Congolese people, built positive relationships, learned Congo's official language, French, have preached and taught in the local churches, and have had blessed, effective ministry. They have proved their calling to Africa as well as the quality and consistency of their ministry "on the ground." Our veteran missionary colleagues in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Wayne and Sylvia Turner, have worked with them in Kinshasa and attest in the highest terms to the quality of their character and ministry.

In early November, the Assemblies of God World Mission Board readily approved their appointment. Wonderful! I am pleased and honored to recommend them for ministry to you, to your Missions Committee, and to your congregation. You will want your people to be exposed to the Churchills and their heart for God and HIS mission!

I recommend them to you for support as well. We need them back in Congo! In fact, with their experience, language, and gifts they are sorely needed ASAP; so, join us in hastening their return to Africa by commitments of monthly support.

Thank you in advance for taking these wonderful new missionaries into your hearts!

FOR AN INCREASINGLY REDEEMED AFRICA,


Don Corbin / Africa Regional Director

Re: Todd and Amy Churchill, Newly appointed A/G Missionaries to Africa

Dear Pastor,

We first met Todd and Amy Churchill in 2000 when they were on a short-term missions assignment to Kinshasa, Congo where we have been Assemblies of God missionaries for the past 29 years. They are a couple who love the Lord and feel His call into Missions in Africa. Their time in the Congo confirmed this call.

Because of the assassination of the Congo president the situation in Kinshasa became unstable so Todd, Amy and their son Daniel, along with two of their colleagues came to 1ive with us, as it turned out, for seven weeks. We already thought highly of Todd and Amy and Daniel, but seven weeks of living together forever changed that. They are now like family to us.

As we observed Todd and Amy over a year and a half time period, we have seen a couple who love the Lord and who genuinely love people of all nationalities and all ages. We have been enriched by their friendship.

Central Africa is in urgent need of couples like them. They have already had a number of years experience overseas and are thus better prepared than most.

We highly recommend them to be your partners in the Lord's work in Central Africa.
