Pastor Testimonials

On behalf of the congregation of Christ Lutheran Church in Niantic, I extend our warmest thanks for your stay with us. I have heard many positive comments about your time with our youth on Saturday evening, and an equal number about your preaching on Sunday morning, and your willingness to meet with worshippers following the service. Thank you for your ministry among us both near and far. Thank you as well for working with our theme for the day. There is sometimes a bit of unknown when we open our pulpit to a preacher with whom we are not familiar. You worked in our theme, bless us with God's Word and your presence, and spoke the Gospel for all to hear. Thank you!

This morning in our weekly Student Intercession at the Church one of you students really touched our heart. His name is Travis and he is a senior in his High School. He has been doing the 30kd since last year. We begin our intercession time, in identificational repentance. During this time, Travis began to pray for his school. He asked God to have mercy on the students of his campus. As he was praying he asked God to forgive the students for throwing things at him when he kneels down to pray for them. He told the Lord that they were his people, and that he loved them, and asked God to show His love for them. As he was praying he began to weep for his friends and classmates. We all wept with him and together, around 60 of us, asked God to show his kindness that leads people to repentance on Travis’s campus.

Thank you for the impact you had in Chesapeake Virginia, the impact keeps on growing. We look forward to having you with us again.

The time at the altar was powerful. You were a wonderful blessing. Your ministry is so vital. Our kids need to know that they are loved and that they have a destiny. Thanks for touching the lives of our youth and families.

"I knew beforehand that the timing of Tom Sipling's visit to Saraland First Assembly was God-ordained, but the weekend surpassed what my mind had conceived. Tom is a fellow dead-man-walking, and stepped into the pulpit with a now-word; no canned messages from this guy. And he brought with him a passion to see the church BE the church, and not just DO church. The impact of his visit, I believe, will truly be felt for years. This is a man who has been marked by God for these last days."

Jay Stewart, Sr. Pastor
Saraland First Assembly

We recently had the privilege of hosting Tom & Cindy Sipling of Joshua Journey Ministries for four days in a series of all church/youth services.

They came with servant ' s hearts to enhance what God was already doing in our fellowship. Tom's messages and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit was exceptional. The feedback of our people has been nothing but positive.

In particular, the call to "reclaiming a generation" was extremely challenging and powerful. We saw a significant response from both parents and students. Tom has his hand on the pulse of what God desires for the postmodern generation at the same time ministering to parents who are hurting with the grief of lost children.

The first time I met Tom I could see he is a man of integrity and it was obvious he has a willingness to build a rapport with the pastor.

He is submissive to the leadership of the church and will do what the pastor desires. He is keen to the leading of God's Spirit while in the pulpit and is respective of that Shepherd's pulpit.

"Tom recently ministered at our family camp. His message is filled with vision and compassion. You will not find another leader who better communicates the heart of God to this generation. Our people love him."

I commend to you, as a fellow Shepherd in the Body of Christ, the ministry of Tom Sipling. My knowledge of Tom is two fold. In one of my previous pastorates Tom was my youth Pastor. He was not only effective, he was outstanding. I've also had the joy of having Tom speak on a regular basis to our congregation. Tom is exceptional as a guest speaker as well. The amazing thing is that though his ministry is youth oriented, he ministers to the adults with equal effectiveness.

Because Tom is not only a powerful communicator, but also carries a prophetic edge, you may want to give him ample time following his message in which to minister in the altars. You will find that Tom imparts, through the Holy Spirit, prophetic insights through words of wisdom and knowledge that lasts far longer than the end of the service. At Fifth Avenue we continue to reap the fruit of his ministry, long after his departure, in the lives of both our youth and adults.

Lastly, you can trust Tom to serve you and your congregation with integrity of character and fidelity to the Word.

Sincerely,

Pastor Larry Titus
Senior Pastor
Fifth Avenue Community Church
Youngstown, Ohio

God has used Tom in such powerful ways during our Re-New-All services! The brokenness of his heart before God is so evident and shows itself in God's anointing upon Tom's words and ministry. His message to the church of "Intimacy with God" is borne out in his own life. His humbleness is a fresh and welcome breeze that, I believe, the Church needs to experience. I would highly recommend Tom and his ministry to any pastor, and any church, who is "Chasing" after God.

"What a wonderful evening last night--your ministry and passion were so deeply felt and appreciated. You spoke words of challenge and hope! Thank you, too, for the call to bring prayer into their schools. What a great picture of our youth bowing at their lockers. We will follow that up and continue to build that vision."
