To whom it
may concern:
I am
very honored to write this brief letter of support
for the quality of work presented by John R. Frank,
C.F.R.E.
John
has been a personal friend for a number of years.
John is an excellent professional in counsel to
church and parachurch ministries on issues of
development, resource funding, and leadership.
John
models what he teaches and it is my consistent
pleasure to phone him and learn what new personal
and professional development training he himself has
intentionally scheduled to experience and grow from
on an annual basis. John impresses me with
reflection time as well, a key ingredient to those
he counsels. His book, The Ministry of
Development, is a key book in the field and I
believe a landmark work of the last 25 years in the
field.
John
has demonstrated success-oriented experience in
counsel on areas such as:
 |
Annual Giving Programs |
 |
Leadership for strategic planning |
 |
Campaign understanding and preparation |
 |
Marketing and community relations |
The
work of the John Frank firm has received great
attention in the field and is highly respected in
many leading ministries. CSA has received feedback
that is very positive on John's work. Some of his
distinguishing contributions include:
 | A
fresh passion and energy to help clients
|
 |
Personal attention, quick feedback and return of
information requested of his firm |
 |
Out-of-the-box ideas and thinking characterizing
John as your not-typical, nor rudimentary
consultant |
 | A
pattern of successful projects and satisfied
clients who rehire John. This in itself says it
all about John Frank. |
I am
pleased to request the teaching and mentoring
services of John each year for our national
assocations's in-depth institutes. John has been
one of our more popular faculty members over the
years at both the Institute and national conference
programs.
Well, I
could go on about John Frank, but I would rather
encourage your ministry to contact him to discuss
your needs. Please phone me as well to tell me how
satisfied you are as a result of working with him.
We at the Christian Stewardship Association hold him
in high regard for both his personal credibility and
the quality of service he delivers.
