Honorable Endorsements
We are so proud to work with such great men and women of God who contribute to the vision of reaching the nations. We are so blessed by their comments such as:
“Overland Missions has apostolic influence on thousands of native pastors from churches across rural sub-Saharan Africa and relentlessly pushes to reach ever farther into the untamed regions of the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Having had the pleasure of working and serving on the board of Overland Missions since its inception, I have personally witnessed its enormous physical and spiritual growth over the years. I highly recommend Philip and Sharon and Overland Missions; I am very proud of all that this inspired ministry has already accomplished and will continue to accomplish in the future.”
Dr. Leon van Rooyen
President, Global Ministries and Relief
“Please consider this letter a formal endorsement of Mr. Smethurst and his fine organization. I have had several meetings with him and in our discussions I have been transparent in our needs and current overall position and have expressed my willingness to work together for the advancement of Burundi.”
The Honorable Pierre Nkurunziza
President of Burundi, Africa
