Bro. Castellaw - The Frei`s Ministry In Germany

 September 2014
Dear Pastor,
This letter is to recommend Bro. Philipp Frei to you as one proven in the
ministry. Bro. Frei is a Swiss national who was saved as a youth in Switzerland and
trained in our Bible Institute’s six-year curriculum. He served on our church staff
as European Missionary Press manager and preached often in my absence. He has
been successful working with adults and children as well as organizing events and
managing every day church activities. He knows the ins and outs of physical and
spiritual aspects of the ministry. He’s good with money and has been a faithful
brother as long as I’ve known him. He was ordained by me and five other senior
pastors in Jan 2013. Since then, he’s taken over the church I started three hours
south of Heidelberg. A small contingency bucked as his new leadership and split
off, but he’s managed the ensuing chaos, regained equilibrium and has successfully
pressed on.
Now he’s looking for temporary support until his church is able to support
him full time. Our church has supported him fully since he began pastoring and
now only half due to our own needs having changed after buying a new building
and property. His church people are giving liberally and do carry their load, but
after a year in the saddle, it’s simply not enough. Europe is expensive and his
needs are not being met. If the Lord would have you temporarily help him, I
believe you’d not regret it in heaven. He is an active soul winner, national speaker
and sharp student of the Bible. His doctrinal beliefs perfectly reflect ours in all
major points including love and loyalty to the King James Bible. That is
something you don’t find every day. He’s sacrificed very much to be in the
ministry - more than any conscientious man would feel comfortable telling or
hearing. I hope my unexaggerated word suffices you.
If you have any questions, specific or general about Bro. Philipp Frei, his
service, record, zeal, proving, education, family, longevity or any like thing, please
contact me.
Sincerely in the Lord Jesus Christ,
Pastor Thomas W. Castellaw
Missionary in Germany since 1993
