Wayfarer Ministries Endorsements
 

"I believe the Lord has raised up Wayfarer Ministries to serve the ongoing reformation of the church and upbuilding of the Body of Christ for such a time as this. Both Chad Norris and David Rhodes are outstanding young ministers of the gospel with a passion to teach God's Word and reach out with the gospel to this generation. I recommend them and their ministry to you with enthusiasm and great expectations."
Dr. Timothy George, Dean, Beeson Divinity School at Samford University (Birmingham , Ala.) and executive editor of Christianity Today.

"Two articulate voices, two fresh ears, two discerning minds in one ministry, bridging the gap between the 'was-ness' of the Biblical text and the 'is-ness' of the contemporary human situation. Chad and David combine to preach and teach to the head and heart through expository holism. I have watched and observed them closely in my classroom at Beeson Divinity School and have admired their love for God, for people, and for learning. Now it is time for the world to know what I have known - they are sent from God with a message. Let us hear them gladly!"
Dr. Robert Smith Jr., professor of preaching, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University (Birmingham , Ala. )

"In the midst of so many parachurch organizations, each clamoring for allegiance, it is hard to evaluate which of those were born of the Holy Spirit and possess a real nobility of Kingdom purpose. But Wayfarer Ministries has come as a ministry born in the hearts of two men, Chad Norris and David Rhodes, who have their finger on the pulse of a crying need in the church. I pray that what Renovare has done to shepherd and inform the mature believer, Wayfarer Ministries will do for those who are looking for the beginning path to a vibrant and significant relationship with Jesus Christ. In the midst of a busy but often ill-informed church, Wayfarer Ministries stands crying, 'Come to Him, all you who are merely busy Christians and discover the fellowship of those who are hungry for the deeper treasures of the Christ life.'"
Dr. Calvin Miller, prolific Christian author and professor of preaching, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University (Birmingham , Ala.)

"CALLED AND COMMITTED . These are the words that come to mind when I think about Dave Rhodes and Chad Norris. Both of these guys are completely, absolutely, seriously, passionately 'CALLED' by God to reach people. Doing anything else with their lives is not an option. They are completely 'COMMITTED' to doing whatever it takes to fulfill God's calling on their lives. We have experienced the joy and benefits of their writing and speaking gifts for several years. And, we are just beginning our ministry partnership with Dave and Chad as we prepare to host several camps with them next year and in the years to come. I have confidence in who they are in Christ and that gives me confidence in what they will do in obedience to Him."
Randy Hall, president and founder, Student Life Inc. (Birmingham , Ala.)

"It is with great excitement that I recommend David Rhodes and Chad Norris (Wayfarer Ministries) to churches. Their passion to serve Jesus Christ is without question and their desire to walk with Him daily is evident in their lives. Without any hesitation, I recommend this ministry to churches."
Ken Thomas, manager, Crosspoint/Centri-Kid Section, Lifeway Christian Resources (Nashville , Tenn.)

"Over the past few years, it has been exciting to see Wayfarer Ministries come together for Chad and Dave. I have enjoyed seeing God provide for them and their wives. The greatest joy in all of this is to see two young couples step out in faith and do exactly what God has called them to do. Their writing, their speaking and their commitment is something that you don't want to miss and something you will definitely want to be a part of. Use them any way you can - you will be glad you did!"
Caz McCaslin, President, Upward Unlimited, Inc. (Spartanburg , S.C.)

"I am pleased to commend to you Chad Norris and David Rhodes. These two ministers have a heart for people. Their vision is to provide a ministry to the 'twenty-something' age group through a mid-week Bible study taught in a contemporary setting. Their conviction is that Wayfarer Ministries will strengthen the ministry of the local churches. I am pleased to give them my unqualified endorsement."
Dr. Kirk H. Neely, Pastor, Morningside Baptist Church (Spartanburg , S.C.)
