RE: PERSONAL REFERENCE FOR JOHN METZGER, ARIEL MINISTRIES

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing in regard to a ministry recommendation for Rev. John Metzger.

John has been a friend of mine for nearly fifteen years. He has been a member in good standing of IFCA International for many years. We know him well.

I know John to be a true man of God with a genuine passion for Jesus Christ and the Church and holiness. He faithfully seeks to study, obey and teach the Word of God with a wonderful emphasis on the relevance of the Old Testament and the Jewish background of the Bible. He has a sincere love for churches and they return that love to him because his ministry is such a blessing to them.

Regarding his specific ministry with Ariel Ministries, John has a passion to help local churches reach out to the Jewish community. He gives indispensable helps on witnessing to Jewish people. In fact, our people have referenced John and his ministry weeks and months after he has been with them, sharing helpful tips in witnessing to the Jewish people and explaining the Jewish background of so many passages in the Bible.

I would highly recommend John and his ministry to your church!

Sincerely in Christ,

Dr. Les Lofquist
